Understanding Our Fees and Payment Policies

Tuition Fees and Payment Schedule

Tuition fees can be paid in full at the start of the academic year or in three instalments: 40% in August for the First Term, 30% in December for the Second Term, and 30% in March for the Third Term. Tuition fees do not include school lunches, transportation, or educational trips. Some extracurricular activities with external providers may incur additional charges.

Deposit

A non-refundable deposit of 10% of the annual tuition fee is required for new pupils to secure a place, payable upon acceptance of an offer. Returning pupils must pay a 5% deposit. Both deposits are deducted from the annual tuition fees in line with KHDA regulations.

Application Fee

A non-refundable application fee of AED 500 (AED 525 inclusive of VAT) is required per application and covers standard assessment costs. This fee is not deductible from tuition fees.

Refund Policy

Refunds are processed in accordance with KHDA regulations. Tuition fee refunds are subject to specific timelines and conditions, with deductions applicable based on the duration of a pupil's enrolment. Deposits are generally non-refundable, except in exceptional circumstances such as relocation outside the UAE or unforeseen situations, subject to official documentation. The official withdrawal request date will be used to calculate refunds. For further details, parents are advised to refer to the KHDA guidelines.
