Notes on how annual, monthly and per‑term figures relate

Per‑term figures above are calculated using a three‑term academic structure (the school runs exams and reporting by term), and therefore per‑term amounts were derived by dividing the published annual fee by three. These per‑term figures are computed for convenience and billing may be issued monthly, termly or via instalment plans offered through the school's payment platform.

- New admissions: expect to pay the registration/application fee (AED 500) plus the first three months of tuition at admission; enrolment deposits (up to 10% of tuition) may be charged and are non‑refundable as described.
- Payment channels: bank transfer (share deposit slip via WhatsApp for confirmation), card payments and online instalments via Zenda. Receipts are issued after confirmation of payment.
