Expect additional optional or ancillary charges (transport, certain extracurricular activities, external exam fees) in practice, although separate line items are not shown in the available public fee summaries. Refunds and withdrawal - The admissions form process references an Enrollment & Payment Policies agreement that students/parents accept at enrollment, indicating formal refund/withdrawal terms are governed by those policies. A publicly accessible, detailed refund table or a full refund policy is not presented in the admissions summary materials available alongside the fee tables; specific refund percentages, notice periods or settlement procedures are therefore not published in the same admissions summaries. Fee payment options - Payment and financing options shown on the school's public listings include installment/finance partners and online payment platforms (examples of payment partners displayed on published listings include Tamara, Amwal, Baseta, Jeel Pay and other payment‑service providers).

Exact term‑by‑term invoices, specific due dates, and a detailed public refund schedule are not included in the campus admission summaries available alongside the published fee amounts.
