Fees
Application / Registration Fees

- The school requires a registration/application fee at the time of enrolment; specific monetary amounts for application or registration are not published by the school.

Tuition fees by school year (per-term / per-year details)

- School levels covered: Kindergarten, Primary (grades 1–6), Lower Secondary, and High School (grades 7–12). Tuition is organised by grade level, but no public schedule listing specific per-term or per-year tuition amounts by year group for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years is available.

- Because the school publishes registration and contribution/tuition payment procedures tied to semester registration windows, tuition is billed as contribution/tuition payments at registration/semester points rather than only once per year; the school lists final registration dates and contribution/tuition payment transactions in the academic calendar. Exact per-term or per-year sums are not published.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing is aligned with the academic calendar and registration windows: the school posts final registration dates and corresponding contribution/tuition fee payment transaction periods for each semester. Parents are expected to complete required fee payments during the registration/payment windows for each semester. Specific payment deadlines, late-payment penalties, instalment options, or detailed payment-term language are not published on the school's publicly available pages.

Boarding fees (where applicable)

- The Harar campus operates a dormitory facility (capacity 72 students). A boarding option exists at the campus, but specific boarding fees (weekly/monthly/termly/yearly rates), boarding inclusions (meals, laundry, supervision) and boarding billing schedules are not published.

Other costs and additional charges

- The school maintains registration forms and related administrative procedures, but it does not publish a public itemised schedule of additional charges. No published fee amounts were found for the following commonly charged items: school uniform, textbooks and learning materials, transport (bus), meals/cafeteria, examination or external exam fees, laboratory/subject fees, activity or sports fees, insurance, security deposits or refundable deposits. Where such items are charged, the school has not provided a public price list.

Refund information

- No publicly available policy or schedule showing refund rules (for example refundable deposits, refund percentages by withdrawal date, or administrative deductions) was found on the school's published pages. Specific refund terms and conditions are not publicly listed.

Fee payment options

- The school's publicly accessible pages list registration/payment procedures in the academic calendar and provide contact details for the Harar campus, but they do not publish a definitive list of accepted payment methods (bank transfer, credit card, cash, mobile or third-party providers). No public statement of accepted currencies or online payment portals was found.

Practical notes for parents (factual, fee-focused)

- School level (KG / Primary / Lower Secondary / High School) determines the tuition category; exact fees by grade are not published.

- The Harar campus offers boarding (dormitory capacity 72) and therefore boarding charges will apply to boarding students; published boarding rates are not available.

Brief summary of search outcome and missing details

- Publicly available pages for International Maarif Schools of Ethiopia (Harar campus), the school's registration forms, and the academic calendar indicate that the school charges registration and tuition/contribution fees and that payments are scheduled around registration/semester windows. However, no itemised fee schedule, no published monetary amounts for application, tuition (per-term or per-year by grade), boarding, uniform, transport, or refund policy for the 2026/27 academic year (and none for 2025/26) could be found on the school's publicly accessible pages. The Harar campus page confirms the levels taught and the presence of a dormitory but contains no fee amounts.
