Per-term detail and how fees are billed - The school publishes the tuition amounts above as the fee figures for each grade (annual amounts). The school's payment practice requires payment of the first-semester tuition to secure a place at acceptance and requires the remaining balance to be paid prior to the start of the academic year; the school does not publish a fixed per-term split of the annual tuition. Therefore a published per-term amount is not available. Billing schedule and payment terms - New applicants: the tuition for the first semester must be paid immediately to secure the student's place. - Current students: a deposit of SAR 5,000 is required to secure the student's spot; this deposit is credited against the first semester's tuition. The remaining tuition balance is due three weeks before the start of the academic year to receive books and uniforms. - Receipts and confirmations for virtual-account transfers are issued via the parent portal and in-app/SMS notifications within business days as described by the school.

The school requires an initial first‑semester payment to confirm a new student's place and a SAR 5,000 deposit (for returning students) credited to the first semester; however, the school does not publish a line‑by‑line term split of the annual tuition on its public fees pages, so a precise per‑term (e.g., semester 1 vs semester 2) numerical breakdown is not available from the published materials. - Additional optional costs (books, transport, activity fees) apply if those services are selected; uniforms (two sets) are included in the stated tuition.

These per‑grade totals are presented as the school's published annual fee levels for 2025/2026. Application / registration fees - No separate, fixed application or non‑refundable registration fee amount is listed on the school's published fee pages for the campuses above. The admissions and enrollment documentation references a Fees Policy and an Enrollment Contract that covers fee terms and withdrawal rules, but the site's public fee pages do not publish a distinct application fee amount. Billing schedule and payment terms - Published tuition figures are presented as annual amounts. The school's admission materials direct families to complete the online inquiry and begin the application/registration via a family Dome & GLA portal; the Enrollment Contract and Fees Policy govern billing and withdrawal terms. Public fee pages and the campus fee listings show annual totals and note that installment/booking options are made available through the school's admissions/finance arrangements, but a detailed term‑by‑term instalment table and exact due‑dates are not published in the public fee pages. Boarding fees - No boarding provision or boarding fees are listed in the school's published campus materials; the school operates as day campuses in its published information. No campus fee pages publish a separate boarding/dormitory charge. Other mandatory or one‑off costs - Transportation (Al‑Malqa example): published zone rates are shown as Zone 01 two‑way SAR 6,000 / one‑way SAR 3,500; Zone 02 two‑way SAR 7,000 / one‑way SAR 4,000. - Uniform (Al‑Malqa example): a uniform fee of SAR 500 is shown on the Malqa registration form. - Books, learning resources, activity charges and other miscellaneous fees: the school's published annual tuition schedules present tuition totals; separate costs for textbooks, workbooks, extra‑curricular activities, exam fees (IGCSE/AS/A2) or other consumables may be charged in addition to the published tuition but are not itemised in the general tuition tables on the public fee pages. Parents are contractually required to review the Enrollment Contract and Fees Policy for the full schedule of additional charges. VAT / tax note - The campus registration materials and fee pages specify that published campus fees are shown exclusive of VAT / taxes where noted (examples show “All Fees are Exclusive of VAT”). Expect any applicable VAT or government charges to be added where required. Refund and withdrawal information - The public fee pages do not publish a line‑by‑line refund table. The school's Admissions information confirms an Enrollment Contract that contains a Withdrawal Policy and Fees Policy which define refund and cancellation rules; specific refund calculations and eligibility are set out in those contractual documents rather than in the general fee listings. Payment options and how payments are handled - The admissions process is managed via the family Dome & GLA portal (families are directed to sign onto their portal during application), and the Enrollment Contract governs billing and instalments. Published public pages and campus fee listings indicate that instalment/booking arrangements are offered, but the school's public fee pages do not list a precise menu of accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, credit card or local payment services) in the fee tables. Payment method details and the available instalment plans are provided to families through admissions/finance at contract stage. Discounts and concessions - Sibling discounts and other concessions are indicated as available in summary fee listings and third‑party fee summaries; specific discount levels and eligibility conditions are set out in admissions/fees documentation rather than in the headline annual‑fee tables. Notes on interpreting these figures - The amounts above are the published annual tuition figures and the published transport/uniform charges that appear in the school's campus fee pages and affiliated registration pages for the 2025–2026 academic year. Individual families' billed amounts may differ once one‑time enrolment items, transport, uniforms, exam charges, VAT and any applicable discounts or sibling concessions are applied under the Enrollment Contract and Fees Policy.
