Fees
Application fees
- The school requires a completed application form and submission of required documents as part of the admissions process. No specific monetary amount for an application or registration fee is published in the school's publicly available admissions or tuition material.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school operates the International Baccalaureate Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma programmes (PYP, MYP, DP) across its grade ranges. No published schedule of tuition charges by grade, year group, term, or annual total is provided in the school's public tuition or downloads pages for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. Consequently, exact per-term or per-year tuition figures are not available to list here.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Parents sign a school contract when admission is granted. Specific billing schedules (for example: number of instalments, monthly/termly due dates, late-payment penalties) and other payment terms are not published in the school's public admissions/tuition information.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Mehr-e-Taban functions as a day school; boarding is not listed as a provision of the International School. No boarding fees apply.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- A campus store and admissions-related administrative processes are part of the school; typical additional parent-borne costs commonly associated with enrolment include: school uniform purchases, textbooks and learning materials, exam fees (including IB examination or assessment fees where applicable), optional activity or trips fees, and any specialised course fees. No published price list for uniforms, books, extracurriculars, assessment or exam fees is available in the school's public downloads or tuition pages.

Refund information
- No public refund policy, refund schedule, or conditions for refund of tuition or other fees is published in the school's publicly available admissions/tuition materials. Refund rules are therefore not available to state here.

Fee payment options
- The school accepts online applications and uses a formal admissions and contracting process, but specific accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit/debit card, local payment channels) are not listed in the publicly available tuition or admissions material.

Summary of availability for database entry:
- The school's public admissions and tuition pages confirm the presence of an admissions/contract process, the grade structures (PYP, MYP, DP) and a campus store, but do not publish numerical amounts for application fees, tuition by grade or term, billing schedules, boarding fees, uniform or other itemised costs, refund terms, or permitted payment methods. For those fields in your database that require numeric values or specific payment terms, the school's publicly available material does not provide figures to populate those fields.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Required documents & initial interview for registration. Parents can complete the registration process at MIS through the school website or in person. Grade KG or a single student must initially register online and then attend an interview with the school counsellors. The student's most recent report card or transcript must be submitted by the admission team. Complete the application forms. The head of the school or principal will interview the student's parents. After these requirements are met, an interview appointment will be scheduled.

2. Analyzing students' educational history. After reviewing the documents and forms, MIS assesses applicants: PYP students (KG–grade 5) are evaluated through oral and written components. Early PYP years (KG–grade 2) are evaluated orally by the curriculum director and the coordinator, while upper PYP years (grades 3–5) undergo two steps: an onscreen assessment and an oral interview with the curriculum director and coordinator. MYP & DP students are evaluated through multiple steps as part of a comprehensive review.

3. Step 1–3: Entrance exam and interviews. Step 1: Students take an onscreen entrance exam; subjects include English Language & Literature, Persian Language & Literature, French, Mathematics, and Sciences. Step 2: Students have an interview with the program curriculum director. Step 3: Students have an interview with the IB coordinator of the related program. Notes: Entrance exam and interview results are recorded on Form A.1; the final decision is reported to the parents. If interviews or exams cannot be conducted in person, they may be held online. If a student does not meet curriculum standards, a two-week trial or referral to the SEN department may be offered.

4. Final decision and waitlist. Admissions may be granted or denied, or a student may be placed on a waiting list; the director has ultimate approval. MIS requires applicants to present actual report cards for the previous two academic years. MIS currently accepts applicants aged 6–11.
