This fee schedule applies to children and adolescents attending the German International School Doha. In the following, the term "child/children" is used for all ages.

The school year begins on September 1 and ends on August 31 of the following calendar year. In terms of calculation, the school year consists of two semesters of five months each.

Accordingly, the fees are calculated with a key of 1/10 per month. The first half-year begins on September 1 and ends on January 31 of the following year. The second half-year begins on February 1 and ends on June 30.

In case of registration or deregistration during the year, the fee for a full billing half-year is due.

Invoices, reminders and other correspondence will be sent by e-mail only. E-mail addresses of the legal guardians will be registered when the children are enrolled. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to inform the school immediately of any changes in e-mail addresses. Furthermore, they must ensure that e-mails can be successfully delivered. The parent/guardian is required to observe the school's email policy.

An integral part of this fee schedule is the fee table*.

Application Fee

A one-time application fee is charged for the registration of a child. This is due immediately before registration in cash against receipt at the reception or can be transferred to the account of DIS Doha. If a family registers more than one child at the same time, the full application fee will be charged for each child. The application fee is not refundable in any form nor will it be credited against tuition or other fees. The amount of the full application fee can be found in the currently valid fee table*. Registration appointments can only be made after the receipt is presented. The name of the child must be indicated when transferring money. A receipt will only be issued upon presentation of the transfer receipt.

Registration Fee

After the child has been admitted, a one-time registration fee is charged, which is due immediately after invoicing. The payment of the registration fee leads to the reservation of the school or kindergarten place. The name of the child must be stated when transferring the money; only the presentation of the transfer certificate leads to the reservation of the school or kindergarten place. If a family registers several children at the same time, the full registration fee is charged for each child. The registration fee is not refundable in any form nor will it be credited against school fees or other fees. For the full registration fee, please refer to the current fee schedule*. The first and only reminder will be sent one week after the due date. If, after this reminder, the arrears are not paid by the specified due date, the child's place will no longer be secured without further reminder.

Place Reservation Fee

The school reserves the right to charge a place reservation fee in the 2nd semester. This fee will be applied to the next school year's tuition. This fee is not subject to reminders and non-payment will not entitle the student to a place. The amount of the full registration fee can be found in the currently valid fee table*.

School Fees

School fees are charged for each child at the school according to the respective age or grade level.

The amount of the school fees for the individual age or grade levels can be found in the currently valid fee table*.

School fees are invoiced for one school semester. These are to be paid by the due date. The due date is shown on the invoice.

In the case of enrollment during the school year, the school fees for the school semester are due within two weeks of the invoice date. In this case, the amount of the fees for the semester of registration will be calculated according to point 1.

Additional Services

The school offers additional services included in the school fees at its own discretion.

The services offered by external service providers, which are carried out with the consent of the school in the premises or on the grounds of the school, are not regulated by this fee schedule and will be charged by the organizer itself.

Installment Payment

In individual cases, installment payments for school fees can be applied for formlessly with appropriate justification. This will only be granted if it is proven that the respective employer of both legal guardians does not pay or subsidize the school fees for the corresponding school year. The payment by installments must be applied for annually. The number of installments is set at 5 installments per billing semester plus a 3% installment surcharge. The installment surcharge is levied with the first installment. Installment payment is only possible via post-dated checks. Checks must be delivered to the Accounting Department no later than the 1st installment payment date. The date of the checks must correspond to the due dates of the installments shown on the invoice.

For this purpose, the applicant must present his or her financial situation. For this purpose, at least the relevant forms of the school (available upon request via e-mail accounting@ds-doha.de), the bank statements of the last 3 months of both legal guardians, a current salary statement of both legal guardians and a copy of the rental contract must be submitted.
