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 registration deposit of 10% of the annual tuition fee is required for new pupils to secure a place after accepting an offer. The deposit is deducted from the tuition fees for the term of enrolment. If a parent decides not to proceed with the enrolment, the deposit is refundable if formal written notification is received at least 60 calendar days before the pupil's start date.
Returning pupils must pay a re-registration deposit of 5% of the annual tuition fee, or AED 500, whichever is higher, to secure their place for the following academic year. The deposit is deducted from the annual tuition fees in line with KHDA regulations and is refundable if formal written notification is received at least 60 calendar days before the start of the following academic year.
Application Fee
An 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. The application fee is refundable if a pupil is not offered a place following an assessment or if the school collected the fee without first confirming that a place was available. If the school makes a formal offer of a place and the parent chooses not to accept it, the application fee is non-refundable.
Refund Policy
Refunds are processed in accordance with KHDA regulations. Tuition fee refunds are calculated on a term-by-term basis using the withdrawal date recorded on the Withdrawal Certificate. If a pupil is enrolled for two weeks or less, one month's fees will be deducted; if enrolled for more than two weeks but no more than one month, two months' fees will be deducted; and if enrolled for more than one month, the full term's fees will be deducted. Absence from school does not constitute withdrawal or trigger a refund.
Fee Policy Notice
Please note that the information provided regarding tuition fees, payment schedules, deposits, discounts and refunds represents our standard policy and is subject to the applicable KHDA regulations. The policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in KHDA requirements.
KHDA School Fees Fact Sheets
