Practical notes for budgeting

- The tuition figures above are the primary annual tuition totals; expect additional annual costs for books, uniform, transport (if used), school trips and certain assessment/exam items. Transport enrolment and some optional services require separate payments or down payments at re‑enrolment. Instalment due dates and amounts should be used to plan cash flow for the school year.

Brief note on currency and academic year used

- The amounts above are shown in Egyptian pounds (EGP). The figures are taken from the most recent published school fee schedule and transport documents available to public records for the school (schedules for the 2024–25 and transport/parent documents for 2025–26 were used where applicable).

Summary of what was checked and remaining gaps

- The published school fee schedule with a three‑instalment tuition billing table and the separate transport enrolment document were located and used to produce the figures and payment schedule above; these documents include the instalment dates, instalment amounts by year group, transport policies (including non‑refundability), and notes on additional costs and discounts.
