Per-term and instalment detail (how term amounts map to the annual fees) - The school operates on an academic year made up of two semesters. Payment options published by the school include annual, semesterly or monthly instalments and a 7% discount for full (annual) payment. - Where a semesterly plan is chosen, the per-semester amount can be determined by splitting the annual tuition into two equal payments. The per-semester amounts (in JOD) are therefore approximately: - Kindergarten 1: JOD 900 per semester (inferred by dividing the annual fee by 2). - Kindergarten 2: JOD 920 per semester (inferred). - Kindergarten 3: JOD 1,277.50 per semester (inferred). - Grade 1–3: JOD 1,442.50 per semester (Grades 1–3 each JOD 2,885 annually; inferred). - Grade 4–6: JOD 1,577.50 per semester (Grades 4–6 each JOD 3,155 annually; inferred). - Grade 7–9: JOD 1,777.50 per semester (Grades 7–9 each JOD 3,555 annually; inferred). - Grade 10: JOD 2,012.50 per semester (inferred). - Grade 11: JOD 2,132.50 per semester (inferred). - Grade 12: JOD 2,245 per semester (inferred). - Note: the per-semester figures above are calculated by dividing published annual fees by two because the school publishes a two‑semester academic structure and offers semesterly instalments; these per‑semester amounts are inferred calculations and not separately published line items. Billing schedule and payment terms - A registration payment (registration / application fee) is required at application: JOD 100. Payment to secure an accepted place is due within the timeframe stated in the school's acceptance communication. The school offers annual, semesterly or monthly instalment plans and applies a 7% discount for full (annual) payment. - Exact invoice dates, instalment deadlines and any late‑payment penalties are provided to families with the acceptance paperwork and the school's formal payment schedule. Boarding fees (if applicable) - Arab Model Schools operates as a day school with school hours, optional paid bus transportation and on-campus services; the school does not publish boarding provision or boarding fees. No boarding fee schedule is listed in the school's publicly available materials. Other costs and recurring charges - Bus / transportation: school bus service is available as an optional paid service; bus charges are separate from tuition and are set per route. (Specific route fees are not published in the general fee list.) - Uniforms: a school uniform is required; uniform purchase is an additional cost (the school publishes uniform requirements but not a centralised uniform price list in the general tuition information). - Technology fee: the school levies technology fees to cover devices, labs, software and IT support; the FAQ describes the technology fee's purpose but does not list a universal amount in the public summary. - Lunch / cafeteria: on‑campus lunch is available and charged separately. - Examination and external assessment fees (e.g., IGCSE / external exam entry) and optional activity / trip charges may be additional and are typically charged separately per exam or event; specific amounts are not published in the consolidated annual tuition list. Refund information - The school's published admissions FAQ and tuition pages describe payment timing, instalment options and the registration fee but do not publish a detailed public refund schedule or pro‑rata refund table in the general tuition pages. Refunds and withdrawal consequences (if any) are handled according to the school's formal fee policy and the acceptance documentation provided to families. Fee payment options - The school's public admissions information confirms available instalment plans (annual, semesterly, monthly) and a full‑payment discount of 7%, but it does not list a single, centralised public list of accepted payment channels (for example: specific bank account details, online payment gateway or card acceptance) in the general tuition pages. Families are provided the formal payment schedule and payment instructions with their acceptance documentation. Summary notes - Annual tuition figures above are published school fee totals by grade (amounts in Jordanian dinars). - Per‑semester numbers shown are calculated by dividing those annual totals by two because the school runs two semesters and offers semesterly instalments; these per‑semester figures are inferred and presented to show how an instalment plan maps to the published annual amounts. - Application fee, instalment options and the full‑payment discount are published in the school's admissions FAQ.
