Tuition fees — illustrative per‑term breakdown (example)
- Tuition is stated on an annual basis; the school requires an initial installment before the first day of the academic year and permits payment in installments. If the annual tuition above is divided into three equal term payments (illustrative split), the per‑term amounts would be approximately:
- KG1 / KG2: KWD 547.667 per term (KWD 1,643 ÷ 3).
- Grades 1–4: KWD 696.667 per term (KWD 2,090 ÷ 3).
- Grades 5–8: KWD 845.000 per term (KWD 2,535 ÷ 3).
- Grades 9–12: KWD 994.667 per term (KWD 2,984 ÷ 3).
(These per‑term figures are illustrative examples derived from equal three‑way splits of the annual tuition; the school's published billing practice requires the first installment before term start and collects remaining instalments according to its schedule.)

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Reservation and first payment: the registration/re‑registration payment must be made at registration; to keep a place if the student is not present on the first day the parent must notify the school in writing and pay the first tuition installment before the first day of the academic year.
- Installments: the school permits tuition to be paid in installments; parents commonly pay an initial installment up front with the balance collected in later instalments according to the school's billing calendar.
- Late payment policy / specific instalment dates and penalties: specific instalment dates, late‑payment penalties and detailed schedule are set by the school (not published in the available fee summary).

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable: the school operates as a day school and does not provide boarding facilities.

Other costs and recurring charges
- School bus / transportation: a school bus service is offered; transport is charged separately from tuition. Specific bus routes and fees are set by the transport office and are not published in the general fee table.
- Uniforms: uniforms are required and available; the uniform purchase cost is charged separately (price not published in the fee table).
- Textbooks, workbooks and learning materials: textbooks and required learning materials are charged separately where applicable. Specific textbook or resource charges are not listed in the annual tuition table.
- Canteen / lunches: a lunch/canteen service is available; lunch charges are handled separately.
- Extracurricular / optional fees: fees for optional activities (after‑school clubs, private music lessons, instrument rental, field trips, exam charges) are charged in addition to tuition when applicable. Specific sums are not published in the annual fee table.

Refund information
- The registration / re‑registration fee of KWD 100 is non‑refundable if the student does not attend or does not complete the academic year. Other refund rules (for tuition, transport, or incidental charges) are managed under the school's payment and refund policy; specific public statements about other refundable amounts were not published in the general fee summary.

Fee payment options
- Accepted payment methods include cash, cheque, credit/debit card and bank transfer. Parents may use the school's accounts office or approved payment gateway / bank transfer arrangements to settle fees.

Summary (practical points for parents)
- Annual tuition amounts by grade are shown above in KWD; budget for separate charges for transport, uniforms, textbooks, lunches and optional activities.
- Expect to pay the registration/re‑registration fee of KWD 100 at the time of enrolment; this fee is non‑refundable.

3. After reviewing the documents for eligibility, the registrar calls the parents and arranges an interview with the Vice Principal and Counselor.

4. The student meets with the Vice Principal and Counselor; if the criteria are met, the student is required to take and pass the Admission Academic test, and if passed, enrollment proceeds.

5. If the student fails the interview, the Counselor informs the parents that they will be notified later about the decision.

6. If the student passes the interview, the registrar provides the Certificate of Conduct form to be filed and stamped by the previous school; a No Objection Certificate is issued to continue the registration process on return to DUSK.
