Calvary Polytechnic School Fees 2026/2027: The Complete Fee Schedule

Calvary Polytechnic School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at “Calvary Poly”? Located in the peaceful town of Owa-Oyibu (near Agbor) in Delta State, Calvary Polytechnic is a private institution that has gained attention for its steady academic calendar. Unlike public polytechnics that are often plagued by strikes, Calvary Poly offers a faster, more predictable route to your ND or HND certificate. However, because it is a Private Polytechnic, the fee structure works differently. It is not subsidised by the government, so you are paying for the full cost of your education, though it remains one of the more affordable private options in the South-South region.

This guide details the projected school fees for the 2026/2027 academic session, breaking down the costs for Tuition, Accommodation, and the correct portal to use to avoid falling victim to admission scammers.
