The school publishes book and uniform charges as separate 'other fees' where applicable; the listed book charge for each grade above is payable with the first instalment. Uniform prices vary by item and are purchased directly from the supplier.
Refund and withdrawal (refund) policy
- Withdrawal and refund rules are applied as follows:
- Withdrawal before the start of the academic year: terms for refund apply to both new and continuing students; the registration/re‑registration fee is retained unless the school is notified of withdrawal by the specified deadline (notification deadlines apply).
- Withdrawal at or after the start of the academic year:
- If the student joined for any part of the first week (or did not join and the parent did not inform the school in writing sufficiently in advance) the school retains the registration/re‑registration fee.
- If the student attended between one and three weeks of term, the school may retain the equivalent of one month's tuition.
- If the student attended more than three weeks up to six weeks, the school may retain the equivalent of two months' tuition.
- If the student attended more than six weeks, the school may retain the full term's tuition.
- The value of one month's tuition is calculated as one‑tenth of the annual tuition. These withdrawal and refund conditions are applied consistently for both returning and new students.
Late payment and enforcement
- If parents are late in paying fees according to the instalment schedule, after three written warnings (each one week apart) the school may: withhold the student's results, temporarily suspend the student from study (for up to three days renewable as necessary), and refuse to issue a transfer certificate until outstanding amounts are settled. Returned cheques incur AED 100 per cheque.
Fee payment options
- Accepted payment methods: cash, bank cheque, or credit card. Employer‑paid arrangements are accepted if the employer completes the school's employer payment approval form. Returned cheques are subject to a AED 100 fee.
Other notes about additional charges
- Book charges are shown above per grade and are payable with the first instalment.
- Extracurricular activity fees, examination fees for external exams, school trips, and optional services are charged separately when applicable. These additional charges (where they apply) are billed in accordance with the school's policies and the instalment schedule.
