Fees

Annual tuition at Riyadh Najed Schools ranges from SAR 26,000 to SAR 40,000 for 2026/27.

Fees overview for academic year 2025/2026

Application / registration fees
- New students are required to pay an upfront refundable deposit of SAR 4,000 collected at registration toward the second semester; this SAR 4,000 is refundable if the student withdraws during the second semester under the school's refund rules.
- No separate non‑refundable “capital” or additional application fee is published as a distinct line item alongside the refundable SAR 4,000 deposit in the school's published admissions/fees material.

Tuition fees by year group (annual total) and per‑semester amounts
Note: The school requires payment at the start of each semester. The per‑semester figures given below are the annual fee divided by two to match the school's semester billing practice. Annual totals follow the school's published fee schedule for the National (general) track and the American Diploma track for 2025/2026.

- National (General) program — annual total and implied per‑semester amount:
- Kindergarten (KG1–KG2 / Kindergarten & Pre‑KG): Annual SAR 23,000 → Per semester SAR 11,500.
- Preparatory (Tamheedi/Reception): Annual SAR 23,000 → Per semester SAR 11,500.
- Primary (Grades 1–3): Annual SAR 25,000 → Per semester SAR 12,500.
- Upper primary (Grades 4–6): Annual SAR 27,000 → Per semester SAR 13,500.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is due at the start of each semester; guardians of currently registered students pay tuition in the first week of each semester. New students pay at registration (including the SAR 4,000 deposit noted above).
- Kindergarten, preparatory and Grade 1 guardians are required to pay the full annual fee as specified by the school's registration rules.
- The school requires re‑registration when a student moves between stages. Failure to pay by the specified dates may result in de‑registration, the student's place being given to another child, the guardian's name being registered with credit‑reporting (SIMAH), and withholding of the student file until financial obligations are settled.

Boarding fees
- Riyadh Najed Schools operate as day schools; no boarding program or boarding fees are published.

Other costs and recurring extras
- Parents pay the actual cost (no markup) for meals, field trips, and the purchase of other school supplies (bags, stationery, specific tools) in addition to tuition. The school supplies government curricula, in‑school activities, and health care during the school day.
- Uniforms and personal school supplies are additional costs borne by families; a specific uniform price list is not published as a fixed fee in the school's public fee statements.
- The school does not publish separate capital fees or large one‑time seat reservation fees beyond the refundable SAR 4,000 deposit noted above; third‑party summaries sometimes list line‑by‑line splits, but the school's published materials identify the SAR 4,000 registration/second‑semester deposit as the primary upfront amount.

Refunds and withdrawal deductions
- Tuition for the semester is due on the first day of school; if a student withdraws the applicable deduction or refund is handled according to the financial contract between the school and the guardian. The SAR 4,000 deposit for the second semester is explicitly described as refundable if the student withdraws in the second semester, subject to the school's contract terms. The school also states that student files and administrative records will not be released until financial obligations are fully settled.

Sibling discounts
- Tiered sibling discounts are offered. The school's published FAQ lists discounted percentages for multiple enrolled siblings (examples shown in the FAQ include 5% for the second child, 10% for the third, and up to 20% for additional children; the FAQ contains tiered values in more than one place). Guardians should refer to the school's financial office for exact application of the sibling discount to their case.

Fee payment options
- Published payment methods include: cash payment at the school's finance office; bank transfer to published school accounts (account numbers and IBANs for specific banks appear in published fee summaries); and card / online network payments via Mada, Visa, MasterCard, Apple Pay, and American Express.

Important notes on published numbers
- The annual tuition totals above are taken from the school's published 2025/2026 fees schedule as presented in school and locally published fee summaries and third‑party fee aggregators; per‑semester amounts shown are computed by dividing the annual total by two because the school invoices by semester. Where third‑party aggregators present alternate per‑term breakdowns, those reflect different installment conventions; the school's published billing instruction is semester‑based.

Admissions

Admissions
Step 1: Schedule a Tour. To arrange a tour, contact the admissions office at 0112491616 ext. 917. Touring experiences the school's modern facilities and allows families to meet the admissions team. The tour provides information to help families decide whether to pursue an application.

Step 2: Understand age-based eligibility. The admissions policies specify age criteria for each stage: KG1 requires children over 3, KG2 over 4, Pre-Primary (KG3) over 5, Grade 1 requires children who are 5 years 9 months or older by the first day of school, and Grade 2 and above require completion of the previous grade with official documentation. Enrollment for intermediate and secondary stages follows the Kingdom's regulations, with specific grade progression rules.

Step 3: Complete diagnostic tests, interviews, and English placement. Applicants undergo diagnostic tests and personal interviews, and must pass the English language placement test. This evaluation informs eligibility for the appropriate grade level.

Step 4: Prepare required documents. A birth certificate or certified copy, a copy of the valid civil status or residence card, a certificate of passing the previous stage for Grade 2 and above, a medical certificate indicating no contagious diseases, a vaccination record, four photos, a medical record, and a comprehensive information record are required.

Step 5: Enroll and consider grade progression details. Enrollment for intermediate and secondary stages requires prior completion of Grade 6 (intermediate) or Grade 9 (secondary). Students who studied outside the Kingdom must present an authenticated equivalent certificate and pass the diagnostic tests and interviews. The student must be re-registered when moving from one stage to another with the stage administration.

Step 6: Pay tuition and fees; understand discounts and payments. Tuition and fees for National and American Diploma are published for 2025/2026 and updated for the upcoming year. A discount applies when two or more siblings enroll, with the eldest paying full fees and discounts applying to other siblings per rates set by the financial department. Payment is due in the first week of each semester, with a refundable 4000 riyals amount provided for the second semester. Re-registration is required when moving between stages, and meals, field trips, and other supplies are charged separately.

Step 7: Withdrawal and financial obligations. The school requires fulfillment of financial obligations before releasing student records or statements; withdrawal rules follow the contract terms. Tuition for the full semester is due at the start of the school year, and deductions apply per the contract if withdrawal occurs.

Scholarships
A sibling discount on tuition is available. When two or more siblings enroll, the eldest in the family pays full tuition, and the discount rate is applied to the other siblings according to percentages set by the financial department.
