Admissions 1. Submit the admissions form to begin enrollment. Guardians complete the form with details such as Guardian Name, Email, Phone number, Nationality, Child's name, and Date of birth; the form also asks how you heard about BHCR. The admissions team will contact you shortly after submission. 2. An offer of a place is followed by payment of the Registration Fee. The Registration Fee is 5,000 SAR excluding VAT (5,750 SAR including VAT) and is payable after an offer of a place has been made; the Registration Fee is waived for founding families. 3. Pay the Deposit. A deposit equal to 20% of the annual tuition is payable within 15 days of the date of the offer letter (this deposit secures the child's place). The policy shows the 20% deposit as part of the payment structure. 4. Follow the Payment Schedule for tuition.

In-term joiners and related fees. Fees for children who enroll after the start of Term 1 or Term 2 are calculated pro-rata according to weeks remaining, with a minimum charge of 50% of the term's fees; enrollments before the term start but non-attendance can affect pro-rating.
