Introduction

The British School, Alexandria is an independent, English‑language day school in Alexandria (Kafr Abdo/Roushdy), Egypt, that follows the National Curriculum for England. It caters for pupils from the Early Years/Foundation Stage through Sixth Form (ages 3–18) and prepares students for IGCSE and AS/A‑level examinations. Instruction is in English; Arabic and French are taught as additional languages. The school operates across several campus buildings (including Abou Ela Villa, the Wilson Building and the Stables) and provides specialist facilities such as music and art rooms, a children's kitchen, interactive whiteboards in classrooms and at least two IT suites (one used for music technology and composition). Classes are described as small and often supported by teaching assistants; the school offers a broad programme of after‑school activities and has run regional citizenship initiatives such as Young Arab Voices.

The Essentials
Fees
Application and Registration Fees

- The school requires a completed registration/application process and charges a registration payment when a place is accepted. Students returning within one calendar year do not pay registration again; returning within two years pay half the registration; after three years the full registration is due.

Tuition fees (by year group and per term)

- Tuition is charged by year group and invoiced for the academic year. Fees may be paid termly by arrangement; the school issues invoices showing the specific annual and per-term tuition for each year group. Specific numerical tuition amounts per year group and per term are not published in the publicly accessible registration materials.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- School fees are payable prior to commencement of the academic year (normally before the first week in September). Fees must be paid prior to the beginning of each term; otherwise a pupil may not be admitted. Fees may be paid termly by arrangement.

Boarding fees (where applicable)

- The British School, Alexandria operates as a day school; boarding provision is not applicable. No boarding fee schedule applies.

Other costs and typical additional charges

- The school requires adherence to a school uniform policy and references costs associated with uniform in its admissions documentation. Short educational visits may incur nominal costs. Parents are responsible for examination entry costs where applicable and for any optional services (for example transport, lunches, extra-curricular activities) that the school bills separately. Detailed amounts for these additional items are provided on the school's fee invoices/fee schedule.

Refund information

- Refunds of tuition fees may be made subject to the school's terms: a written application for refund must be received at least 10 working days before the date of departure and within one month after departure. Refunds, when made, are calculated only for whole or half terms (the school does not refund on a weekly basis). Year 11–13 students do not receive refunds for departures in term 3. Refunds are issued by cheque or by bank transfer; any bank charges incurred are met by the parent.

Fee payment options and practical notes on payments

- The school's admissions/registration documentation explicitly records that refunds are made by cheque or bank transfer; the documentation sets payment timing (prior to term start) and allows termly payment by arrangement. Specific accepted payment methods for regular tuition invoices (for example, whether the school accepts credit/debit card payments) are not specified in the publicly available registration form. Parents should follow the invoice instructions when they receive billing.

Summary of what was located during this review

- The school's published registration/ admissions form and related terms set out the existence of registration/application charges, the billing schedule (fees due before each term and normally before the first week of September), the ability to pay termly by arrangement, the refund rules (including the requirement for written notice, whole/half term refunds only and no term‑3 refunds for Year 11–13), and that refunds are made by cheque or bank transfer. The school is identified as a day school (no boarding). Specific numeric tuition figures by year group and per term were not present in the publicly accessible registration document reviewed here.
