Fees
Application & admission fees
- An application process requires payment of an admission fee of L.E. 2,500; this fee is required after submitting the application form and before sitting the admittance exam. The admission/application fees are non‑refundable unless the school declines the application.

Tuition fees (by year group / per term)
- The school's publicly available IGCSE pages do not publish a detailed per‑grade, per‑term tuition schedule for the 2026/27 academic year (nor a complete 2025/26 fee table) on the IGCSE/Agouza pages. Tuition is stated to vary by grade level and program, but specific amounts per term or per school year are not posted on the IGCSE information pages.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- After acceptance following testing and interview, parents are asked to pay the remainder of the first installment to secure the place; beyond that, no public, itemized trimester/term or installment schedule (dates, number of installments, or penalty terms) is published on the school's IGCSE pages.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding is not described as part of the IGCSE Agouza offering; the school operates with daily attendance and provides an organised school bus service for students, which indicates no boarding programme is offered for the Agouza IGCSE campus. Therefore, boarding fees are not applicable for the Agouza IGCSE campus.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- Transportation: A supervised school bus service is offered and separate transportation charges apply; specific bus routes are listed but bus fares are not published on the IGCSE pages.
- Uniform: Wearing the official school uniform is mandatory; uniform costs are not published on the IGCSE pages.
- External exam/registration fees: Board exam registration (IGCSE/A‑level) and associated registration/entry fees are set by the external examining authorities (British Council / Cambridge / exam boards) and are handled according to their schedules and rules; those external exam registration fees are not refundable through the exam body.
- Additional possible charges (not publicly itemised on the IGCSE pages): textbooks and course materials, excursion/trip fees, activity/club fees, and student insurance or material contributions are commonly charged by schools; specific amounts and which of these apply at Agouza are not published on the IGCSE pages.

Refund information
- The admission fee is non‑refundable unless the school declines the application. The British Council (exam body) does not issue refunds for exam registrations. No publicly available, itemised tuition refund policy for the Agouza IGCSE campus (for example, prorated tuition refunds, withdrawal deadlines, or bank/administrative refund charges) is published on the IGCSE pages.

Fee payment options
- The IGCSE/Agouza pages do not list specific payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, cheques, or online payment portals) or detailed installment options. Payment method details and accepted channels are handled by the admissions/finance office and are not published on the IGCSE information pages.

Brief summary of findings and gaps
- Confirmed and itemised: admission fee L.E. 2,500 (non‑refundable unless the school declines) and that application/admission fees are required before testing and interview; the school runs a supervised bus service and enforces a mandatory uniform; exam registration and policies are controlled by the external exam bodies.
- Not published on the IGCSE/Agouza pages: a complete numeric tuition schedule by year group for 2026/27 (or 2025/26) broken down per term or per year, detailed billing calendar (due dates / installment plan / late penalties), boarding fees (not applicable), uniform pricing, transport fares, refundable tuition policy details, and accepted payment methods. For those items, the school's admissions/finance office holds the definitive figures and schedules.

If you need this entry for a database, the confirmed items above can be entered directly (admission fee and non‑refundability; day‑school with bus service; uniform mandatory; exam registration handled by external exam bodies). The school's admissions or finance office can provide the missing numeric tuition breakdowns, transport fares, uniform prices, installment calendar, refund rules for tuition, and accepted payment methods for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years.
