Per‑term breakdown
- The school publishes annual tuition amounts. A per‑term invoice structure is commonly used by schools in the region, but a fixed published per‑term tariff for Concordia was not available in the publicly accessible fee listings. The annual figures above should be used as the basis for calculating per‑term amounts if termly instalments are required.

Other compulsory fees and charges
- School transport (bus): commonly shown around EGP 13,500–30,000 depending on routing and source; a transport fee figure of EGP 30,000 is listed in the school directory summary, while other listings show bus charges from EGP 13,500 (amount varies by area). Parents should budget for a transport fee in this range if bus service is required.
- Books, activities and basic resources: noted as included within the published tuition in the fee summary.
- Uniforms, optional extracurriculars, school trips and lunch: these are typical additional costs billed separately by international schools; no single consolidated published amount for uniforms or meals was available in the accessible fee listings.

Boarding

Billing schedule and payment terms
- A clear, published billing schedule (exact instalment dates and payment deadlines) for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year was not present in the publicly accessible fee summaries. The amounts shown above are presented as annual tuition figures; invoices and instalment options are handled by the school at registration and by the school's financial office. Parents should expect to pay the one‑time registration deposit at enrolment and the remaining tuition according to the school's invoicing schedule.

Refunds and withdrawal
- No explicit, publicly posted refund schedule for fees or the registration deposit was found in the accessible fee summaries. Information about refund eligibility and withdrawal penalties is contained in the school's internal regulations (règlement intérieur) and the school's financial policy documents. Parents should expect that refund rules and any withdrawal penalties are governed by those formal policies.

Payment methods and options
- Public fee listings did not publish a detailed list of accepted payment methods (for example, credit card, bank transfer, cash, or local bank account details). Standard practice at similar international schools includes bank transfer and in‑person payment; specific accepted methods and bank account details are issued on school invoices.

Practical summary for parents
- Budget using the annual tuition figures above (EGP 95,000 for pre‑school; EGP 120,000 for KG; approximately EGP 150,000 for Grades 1–12), plus a one‑time registration fee of EGP 12,000 and an application fee of EGP 3,000. Allow additional funds for transport (EGP 13,500–30,000 depending on route), uniforms, meals and optional activities.

Where precise instalment dates, refund schedules, payment method details or separate uniform/meal prices were not published, those items are handled via the school's financial office and the school's internal regulations.
