Fee details	Fee details Application & assessment fees - Application fee: EGP 4,000 (one‑off at time of application). - New‑student evaluation / assessment fee: EGP 2,000 (one‑off). Tuition fees by year group (published for the 2025/2026 academic year) - Pre‑School (Preschool): Annual tuition EGP 100,000 — Per term (three equal terms) EGP 33,333.33. - KG1–KG2: Annual tuition EGP 183,500 — Per term (three equal terms) EGP 61,166.67. - Grade 1–5: Annual tuition EGP 192,000 — Per term (three equal terms) EGP 64,000.00. - Grade 6: Annual tuition EGP 204,500 — Per term (three equal terms) EGP 68,166.67. - Grade 7–9: Annual tuition EGP 214,500 — Per term (three equal terms) EGP 71,500.00. Boarding fees - Boarding: Not applicable. Capital International Schools is presented as a day school; no boarding fees or boarding provision are published. Other costs and typical ancillary fees - Books: The published tuition figures are noted to include book costs in the school's published fee summary. - School bus / transportation: Annual bus fees shown in published material (example amounts published): EGP 39,000 (main campus summary). Separate campus listings show similar bus fees (examples: EGP 35,000 on Lotus campus listings). Parents should expect an annual bus charge if using school transport. - Uniforms, lunch, extra‑curricular activities, examination fees and some assessed tests: these items are commonly charged in addition to tuition at comparable international schools; the school's Lotus campus listings show separate book/resource amounts for particular grades. Where a separate charge is published for a grade (for example book or resource lists), that amount is listed alongside the tuition on campus‑specific notices. Parents should budget for optional services (lunch, extra activities) where applicable. Billing schedule and payment terms - Academic structure and instalments: The admissions/registration system lists three academic terms (Term 1, Term 2, Term 3). Per‑term amounts above are shown as the annual tuition divided into three equal instalments to reflect the school's three‑term billing framework; the school's online admission form references the three terms. (Per‑term amounts in this summary are calculated from the published annual tuition divided by three.) - Timing and immediate charges: Application and assessment fees are payable at application/registration. Transport and other optional services are typically charged on an annual basis or per term depending on the service; parents selecting transport will incur the annual bus fee. Refund information - No published, detailed refund policy for application, registration, tuition or transport charges was located in the school's publicly posted fee summaries for the 2025/2026 academic year. Where a school does publish a refundable deposit or specific refund rules those are normally called out in the terms and conditions or fee schedule; no such itemised refund clause was found in the fee information available for 2025/2026. Parents should treat application and assessment charges as one‑off payments unless otherwise advised in formal acceptance paperwork. Fee payment options - Publicly listed payment methods are not itemised in the published fee listings found for 2025/2026. The school operates an online admissions/parent portal (Engage) which indicates an electronic payment and invoicing workflow is in use for applications and registrations; expect standard options such as bank transfer and card payments to be available through the school's finance office or online portal, but the school's published materials do not provide a definitive, itemised list of accepted payment channels. Contact the school's admissions/finance office for confirmed payment methods when completing registration. Practical notes (brief) - The figures provided above are the published annual tuition amounts for the 2025/2026 academic year and the one‑off application/evaluation charges shown in the school's published fee summaries. Per‑term amounts shown are calculated by dividing the published annual tuition by three because the school's admissions form lists three academic terms; that calculation is an arithmetic division to present per‑term instalments consistent with the school's three‑term billing framework. What was not found in the public fee materials - The publicly available fee information for 2025/2026 did not include a clear, itemised refund policy, detailed payment‑method list (bank account numbers or card merchant details), explicit per‑term invoices/dates, or published late‑payment penalties tied specifically to Capital International Schools. The school's admissions/finance office or formal contract at acceptance normally supplies these operational details; they were not present in the fee summaries located for 2025/2026.	Fee details Application / Registration and Assessment Fees - Non-refundable registration fee: EGP 5,000. (Payable to secure an offered place; must be paid within one week of acceptance.). - Evaluation / assessment fee (one-off on application): EGP 500. Annual Tuition fees by year group (full-year amounts) - Pre‑KG: EGP 77,000 per year. - KG1–KG2: EGP 87,800 per year. - Grade 1: EGP 98,500 per year. - Grades 2–6: EGP 104,740 per year. - Grades 7–9: EGP 126,600 per year. - Grade 10: EGP 133,000 per year. - Grade 11: EGP 141,000 per year. - Grade 12: EGP 145,000 per year. Per-term / instalment information and billing schedule - The school requires payment of the non-refundable registration fee to guarantee a place and specifies that it is payable within one week of acceptance. - Annual tuition is published as the principal charge; a specific per-term breakdown is not published in the publicly available fee schedule. Historical published listings for the school indicate that tuition has been collected in instalments in past years, but a current official instalment schedule (number of instalments and term amounts) is not published in the materials located. Included and additional one‑off or annual costs - Book fees (textbooks and learning materials): published ranges cited at EGP 8,000–12,000 (these amounts are treated separately from tuition in published school fee summaries). - Health insurance fee: EGP 1,000 (annual). - Other one-off/periodic costs commonly charged by the school include assessment/evaluation fee (EGP 500) and the registration fee (EGP 5,000). - Transport (school bus) and uniform costs: the school operates a bus service and requires a uniform; associated fees (route/transport tariffs and uniform purchase costs) are charged separately and are not given as fixed amounts in the published summary. Boarding - Boarding is not listed among the school services; the school provides day‑school services including bus transport. Boarding fees are therefore not applicable. Refunds and fee‑forfeiture rules - The registration fee is non‑refundable once charged and must be paid to guarantee a place. No full official tuition refund schedule was published in the publicly available fee summaries reviewed. Historical and third‑party listings note common private‑school practices (partial term pro‑rations or forfeiture rules) but a current, detailed refund policy for tuition and other charges was not found in the materials consulted. Payment methods and contact for payment - The school's published contact details for administrative and finance enquiries are: +2 01006069977 / +2 02 24772258–62 and frontoffice@ng.edu.eg. Specific accepted payment channels (credit/debit card, bank transfer, in‑person cash/payment gateway) are not itemised in the available fee summary; families should use the school's admissions/finance contact details for exact payment instructions and to obtain the current instalment/billing schedule. Other notes about extra costs - Extracurricular activities, field trips, examinations (external exam fees) and optional programmes may carry additional charges depending on participation; these are typically invoiced separately. A separate materials/uniform charge and transport fee are normally billed where applicable. Exact amounts for these optional items are not published in the publicly available fee summary. Brief summary of available fee data and gaps - Published annual tuition figures and headline one‑off fees (registration, evaluation, textbook and health insurance ranges) are available in recent school listings and school admissions summaries. Specific current per‑term invoice amounts, a detailed instalment schedule, explicit payment‑method options, and a full written tuition‑refund table were not present in the publicly available materials reviewed. The registration fee is explicitly stated as non‑refundable and payable within one week of acceptance.
