Fees
Application / Registration fees
- Registration (one‑time): QAR 614. This registration charge is payable once at the time of admission and is non‑refundable.

Tuition fees by year group (Duhail campus - Kindergarten)
- KG1: Annual tuition QAR 25,400.
- KG2: Annual tuition QAR 25,400.
- Seat reservation / deposit: QAR 614 per student; this amount is deducted from the annual tuition.

Per‑term amounts (billing format commonly used by the school)
- The Duhail fee schedule lists the tuition as an annual total. The school's published campus fee schedules are administered on a three‑term billing pattern (instalments normally due across the academic year in three amounts — the typical instalment months used across AGS campuses are July, November and March); applying that three‑term pattern to the Duhail annual tuition of QAR 25,400 produces a notional instalment of approximately QAR 8,466.67 per term (25,400 ÷ 3). The Duhail kindergarten fee sheet provides the annual totals and the seat‑reservation deduction; it does not itemise term‑by‑term invoice dates for Duhail in the fee document itself.

- Books (annual): KG1 QAR 392; KG2 QAR 426.
- Registration (one‑time, listed above): QAR 614 (charged once).

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable to the Duhail Kindergarten campus (no boarding charges listed).

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The Duhail fee schedule provides annual amounts and shows the seat reservation deduction and one‑time charges. The school operates a three‑term instalment structure across its campuses (typical instalment months used by AGS campuses are July, November and March); when parents are invoiced the annual tuition will generally be split into those term instalments or as otherwise shown on the invoice. The seat reservation amount (QAR 614) is deducted from the annual tuition. Specific invoice dates, late‑payment terms and any discounts or penalties are set out on the school invoice and in the school's administrative billing communications.

Refund information
- The registration fee is non‑refundable. The Duhail kindergarten fee document does not publish a separate general tuition‑refund table in the fee sheet; published fee lines show annual tuition, one‑time registration, seat reservation (deducted from tuition) and optional service charges.

Fee payment options
- The Duhail fee schedule lists amounts and charges; specific payment channels (for example bank transfer, card payment or in‑person payment) and the school's payment portal arrangements are managed by the school's administration and appear on invoices and administrative correspondence. Parents complete payment according to the invoice terms and the administration's published payment procedures.

Other costs or notes parents should expect
- Health/medical form: a completed health file is required for KG1 and KG2 as part of admissions (this is an administrative requirement that may involve separate medical/insurance costs).
- Any additional optional activities (extracurricular trips, specialist programs, assessment fees or examination charges) would be invoiced separately when applicable and are not included in the annual tuition lines shown above.

Please note: the fees and charges listed above are shown as QAR amounts and are provided as the published annual figures for the Duhail Kindergarten campus for the referenced academic fee schedule. The schedule lists annual totals and the specific additional charges above; instalment dates, payment channels and detailed invoice terms are set on school invoices and administrative billing documentation.

Admissions

Admissions
Admission Requirements: The school requires the following documents for admission: photograph (1 copy); copy of Birth Certificate; copy of child's passport & resident visa (QID); copy of parent's passport and QID (Father & Mother); copy of Vaccination Certificate; Health File only for KG1-KG2 and Year 1; school report (transcript) for the last academic year; Recommendation letter from the previous school (Optional); an employment certificate of the parents. Step 1: Visit by Parents/Guardians. Parents/guardians begin the admissions process by contacting the school secretary on 44980124 Admissions Office to arrange a tour of the school. This first visit is a required part of the admissions process as parents should have a good idea of the school, meet the staff and see other children and their workbooks. We then invite each prospective student to meet with a member of the school team for an assessment visit. Depending on the entry grade, this visit may be in a group or scheduled individually as an entrance assessment. Step 2: Registration. For Doha-based families, complete Registration Admission, with photograph of applicant attached and copies of passport, ID card and health/immunisation records. Pay the non refundable registration fee. Current and previous year's transcripts, as well as school records from current school sent directly from your child's current school. Step 3: Entrance Assessment. Students are invited to attend AGS to complete the entrance assessment for the appropriate year group. The assessment is carried out by the teacher responsible for that year group when possible. If relocation from outside Doha prevents an in-person visit, a phone or video conference assessment is possible, or placement may be offered on the basis of the application along with teacher evaluations and records. Final admissions decisions are at the discretion of the Principal and the school admissions committee. Parents are usually notified within 48 hours if successful; if so, health forms, bus forms if applicable, relevant documentation, and payment of the uniform, book, and tuition fees are required. Step 4: Non-Discrimination Policy. Awfaz Global School admits students on a non-discriminatory basis without regard to race, colour, nationality, family orientation, or ethnic origin; procedures are open and transparent and ensure that students capable of transferring to AGS are admitted.
