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.
Fee Policy Notice
Please note that the information provided regarding tuition fees, payment schedules, deposits, discounts and refunds represents our standard policy. However, it is subject to change and exceptions at the school’s discretion.
KHDA School Fees Fact Sheets

The KHDA School Fees Fact Sheet is updated annually, reflecting any changes in fee structures, and ensuring that parents always have access to the most current and accurate information.
