Per‑term amounts (inferred example)

- The school's fees are published as annual amounts. For parents who require a per‑term figure, an equal three‑term split of the published annual fee gives an approximate per‑term amount (this is an arithmetic inference, not a separate published figure): for example, Grade 1 annual BHD 3,760 ≈ BHD 1,253 per term (3 equal terms). I am presenting these per‑term numbers as inferred values derived by dividing the published annual fees by three.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The published fees are displayed as annual tuition for each year group; application and admission charges are identified as one‑time fees and are payable at application/admission.
- The school provides invoice management and supports secure online payments through its official IKNS parent mobile app (invoice viewing and online settlement of fees are available through the app). Parents use the school's payment portal to settle invoices.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Ibn Khuldoon National School is listed as a day school; published entries show no weekly or full boarding fees for this school.

Other costs and typical additional fees

- Uniforms: the school's uniform items are sold through official suppliers/retailers; example retail prices for specific IKNS uniform T‑shirts are shown at approximately BHD 9.90 per shirt on an authorised retailer listing. Uniform purchases should be expected in addition to published tuition.
- The published annual tuition figures do not itemise separate costs for books, transport, meals, extracurricular activities or exam fees; families commonly budget additionally for textbooks, school trips, transport and activity fees beyond the tuition figure. The published fee tables list the annual tuition and the one‑time admission/application amounts; separate ancillary charges are managed and invoiced by the school.

Refund information

- Application and admission charges are presented as one‑time fees in the published fee listings. The publicly available fee listings show those charges as one‑time items; a specific, itemised public refund schedule for withdrawal or term‑time refunds is not published alongside the fee table in the cited listings. Refunds or any refundable deposits and the conditions for refund are handled under the school's finance and withdrawal policy.

Fee payment options

- Online payments: the IKNS parent app supports secure online payment and invoice management; parents can view and pay invoices through the app.
- Uniform and supplier purchases: uniform retailers selling IKNS items accept standard retail payment methods (online/instore card payments on retailer listings). Example: the IKNS uniform retailer page lists card/online checkout options for uniform items.

Notes:
- The amounts above are taken from the school's published fee listings for the current academic cycle as presented on school directories and listings; the annual tuition figures and the one‑time fees listed above are the published values and are stated in Bahraini Dinars (BHD).
