Parents of students who are joining an ESF school will be required to pay a one-off Non-Refundable Capital Levy (NCL) when they accept an offer of a school place.
The cost of the NCL will be HK$38,000 for students entering Year 1 and will be reduced, on a sliding scale, for students who join the system in later years as follows:
| Year group | One-off NCL (HK$) |
| Year 1 | 38,000 |
| Year 2 | 36,000 |
| Year 3 | 34,000 |
| Year 4 | 32,000 |
| Year 5 | 30,000 |
| Year 6 | 28,000 |
| Year 7 | 26,000 |
| Year 8 | 22,300 |
| Year 9 | 18,600 |
| Year 10 | 14,900 |
| Year 11 | 11,200 |
| Year 12 | 7,500 |
| Year 13 | 3,800 |
The NCL applies to ESF’s nine primary schools, five secondary schools and the special school. It will not apply to the Private Independent Schools or to the ESF International Kindergartens. It is due upon acceptance of school place offer.
