Garden City British School

There are at least three equal instalments for tuition fees in each academic year in order to enable Parents/Guardians to pay tuition fees.

The School will collect the first instalment within one month preceding the beginning of the school year. The first instalment shall be in August for Garden City British School that starts its academic year in September.

The fee payment should be in 3 Terms:-

• First Term Fee due is on 1st September & should clear it before the 10th of September.
• Second Term Fee due is on 1st January & should clear it before the 10th of January.
• Third Term Fee due is on 1st April & should clear it before the 10th of April.
• We will not accept any guarantee cheques, if the fees is paying by cheque it should be a dated one and if someone doesn’t want to deposit the cheque to the bank they have to transfer or pay by cash before the cheque date.
• Those who receiving the fee from the company, charity or third party the excess amount (If any) will be adjusted to the next term fee or next Academic year fee.

The School may retain a certain amount of the tuition fees in any of the following cases:

• If a student attends any part of week one of the term or fails to show up at all without the Parent/Guardian notifying the School in writing sufficiently in advance before the beginning of the break before the commencement of a term. In such a case, the School may retain the value of the registration or re-registration fees.
• If a student attends from one week and up to three weeks in a term, the School may retain the value of one full month of tuition fees.
• If a student attends over three weeks and up to six weeks in a term, the School may retain the value of two full months of tuition fees.
• If a student attends over six weeks in a term, the School may retain the full-term fee.

These cases apply to newly enrolled students as well as students that register after a term has already commenced. Official holidays and absences from class are considered part of the week. The value of one month of tuition fees is calculated by dividing the total tuition fees for the school year by ten months. Any textbook and uniform fees paid to the School are to be refunded to Parents/Guardians if such have not yet been used.

Transportation fees should be refunded in the same manner as tuition fees. School administration is to notify the Parents/Guardians in writing of these conditions upon registration or re-registration, ideally through a written agreement between the Parent/Guardian and the School.

Non-Payment of School Fees

School herein publishes a clear, transparent policy for their response to non-payment or late payment of School fees. The ADEK will check that Schools honour the right of Parents/Guardians to have a payment system that is fair and reasonable and one in which Schools do not apply sanctions in a punitive way.

School will not dismiss students due to a delay in the payment of School fees; however, School will suspend a student for up to three days but only after sending three warning notices each being one-week in duration each time to a student’s Parents/Guardians.

Further, School will withhold examination report cards, transfer certificates (or block a transfer on eSIS) and/or refuse re-registration for a student until all outstanding dues are settled.

School will not prevent students from sitting any end-of-term or end-of-year examinations or any examinations assigned during the term as a consequence of non-payment of School fees.

School will act in a discrete manner when dealing with non-payment issues in order to protect the student from unnecessary attention and embarrassment.
