QUESTIONS

Before you apply.

There are three ways to pay: Mobile Money (MoMo), cash, or bank transfer. The easiest is MoMo — once your registration is approved and you have set up your account, you pay it yourself in your Student Portal under Fees & Payments (you can also pay by card there), or you can send MoMo directly to our number. Cash is paid in person at the school. Bank transfer goes to our CalBank account — just ask and we will share the details. You do not have to pay before creating your account: after approval you get an email to set your password, you log in, and then you pay inside the app. Payments are confirmed automatically once they go through.
