The tuition fees are due prior to the start of the academic year and payable in advance of attendance, at the start of each term. Tuition fees will be invoiced from the time of admission to ensure that payments can be processed before the start of the term. If your circumstances change, it is essential that you contact us in advance of the deadline so that we can guide you on available options. Please note, all tuition fees are in accordance with the fee structure established by DIPS – G under the guidance of KHDA established School Fee Framework.

An application fee of AED 525 (Application – AED500/-, VAT- AED 25/-) is due at the time of application. This fee is:

• Refundable if the school does not offer the student a place. Unless the child’s registration is carried forward to the following academic year.
• Non-refundable if the school offers the student a place but the student chooses not to take it.
• Not deductible from the tuition fees if the student is offered and accepts a place.

This deposit is payable after the student has been offered a place and parents have accepted the offer. The registration deposit is 10% of the total tuition fees and is deductible from the total tuition fees for the academic year.  Please note, this is a non-refundable deposit.

• The Application Fee is payable at the time of the online registration and is charged to process the application of new students. Once the child receives a formal offer from the school and is accepted by the parent, the registration deposit is charged to enroll the child and secure the seat.
• If new students enroll at a school during the course of the academic year, the school can charge tuition fees starting from the beginning of the month of enrollment.
• Schools can collect annual tuition fees in three instalments, due at the beginning of each term. The first term’s payment will be 40%, the second 30% and the third term 30% of annual tuition fees.

Fees can be paid online or through direct bank transfer. Fees can also be paid by Cash, cheque or credit card at the Collections Office opened from Monday till Friday from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm.

• In the case of refund, the school fees will be calculated as follows:
• Tuition fees paid prior to the beginning of the academic year are refundable and only the registration/re-registration fees will be deducted.
• If the student was enrolled in the school for two weeks or less, a month’s fees will be deducted.
• If the student was enrolled in the school for a period ranging between two weeks and one month, two months’ fees will be deducted.
• If the student was enrolled in the school for more than a month, the full terms fees will be deducted.
• The refund will be calculated from the start of the term and the date of the official request by the parent stating the intent of withdrawal and not the date when the student was absent. Being on the school register counts as days in school.
• Monies will be refunded via cheque.

Parent Pay Accounts Payment invoices and receipts cannot be split between the parent and the sponsoring company. If a company’s policy does not provide for full payment of school fees, the student account will be shown as a parent pay in the school’s records.
