Fee details	Fee details Application fees - Application fee (International section): EGP 1,600. - Application fee (National section): EGP 800. Tuition fees (annual; by year group) - Foundation / KG1–KG2: EGP 70,000 per year. - Grades 1–12: EGP 70,000–75,000 per year (varies by grade). Per-term detail - A published per-term schedule for specific year groups is not publicly provided; tuition figures above are given as annual amounts. Parents should note that the school issues fee invoices at enrolment and at the start of the academic year and requires payment as described under Billing schedule and payment terms. Billing schedule and payment terms - Parents enrolling a child for the first year must pay the full school fees at the beginning of the school year to secure a place. - For returning students, fees may be paid in two installments in the school year. - The school requires payment of the first instalment (or full fee for new students) before the place is confirmed. Boarding fees - Boarding is not offered; there are no published boarding fees. Facilities and programme descriptions make no provision for residential/boarding pupils. Other costs and compulsory extras - Books and school activities: Included within the school fees where stated for the published annual figure. - School uniform: Sold through the official uniform supplier GELGELA; uniform costs are charged separately. - School transport (bus): Bus fees vary by route; published starting figure is EGP 15,000 per year (subject to annual change). - Any additional mandatory exam, registration, or activity charges beyond the tuition/books/activities package are not itemised in the publicly available fee summaries. Refund information - There is no detailed publicly posted refundable-deposit or full refund policy in the publicly available admissions/fees information. The first installment is required to secure the place; refunds or partial refunds for withdrawal are not specified in published materials. Parents should assume that the first instalment secures the student's place and that any refund terms must be confirmed in writing by the school at point of payment. Fee payment options - Specific payment methods (bank transfer, card payment, electronic payment gateways) are not listed in the publicly available admissions and fees notes. Parents should expect standard options to be offered by the school's finance office but should confirm available methods with the admissions or finance office at enrolment. Note on published figures and unavailable details - The numerical figures provided above are published annual fees and related charges available in public school listings and the school's admissions FAQ; a full itemised, grade-by-grade per-term fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year was not published in the publicly available admissions or fees notes at the time of review. Additional line-item charges (detailed bus rates by route, exam or assessment fees, transactional surcharges, and a formal written refund policy) were not publicly itemised and should be confirmed directly with the school's admissions or finance office when arranging enrolment.	Fee details Overview - English School Beverly Hills, Cairo does not publish a public, detailed fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year. The school's publicly accessible pages and major international school directories do not show a complete per-year or per-term fee table. Application / Registration Fee - No fixed application or one‑time registration fee amount is publicly published for the English School Beverly Hills. Directory listings and the school's public pages do not list an application or registration fee figure. Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group) - The school does not provide a public breakdown of tuition fees per term or per year group for 2026/27 (or for 2025/26). A third‑party school listing indicates only general indications that fees are charged (examples in third‑party summaries show varied figures for different grades), but a full, itemised per‑grade, per‑term or annual table is not available publicly. - One third‑party listing includes a single example figure for primary level (Primary 6 listed as EGP 40,000) and notes that some grade fees exceed EGP 20,000, but that listing does not provide a complete schedule covering all year groups or term instalments. Use that single example only as an indicative data point, not a full fee schedule. Billing schedule and payment terms - No publicly available statement of the school's billing schedule (for example: termly, quarterly, or annual invoicing dates), payment deadlines, late‑payment penalties, or required deposit amounts is published for the requested academic years. Boarding fees (if applicable) - The English School Beverly Hills operates as a day school; there is no published boarding programme or boarding fee schedule for this school. Boarding fees are therefore not applicable. Other costs or fees (uniform, transport, meals, exams, activities) - No public, itemised schedule for additional costs such as uniform fees, school bus/transport fees, meal plans, exam fees, or extracurricular activity charges is available. Third‑party directory entries mention the school's programmes but do not provide a comprehensive list of add‑on charges. Refund information - The school does not make a public statement of its refund or fee‑cancellation policy (for deposits, registration fees, or tuition) in the material available for 2026/27 or 2025/26. No published refund conditions or timelines are accessible. Fee payment options - Accepted payment methods (for example: credit card, bank transfer, cash, or online payment portal) are not published in a public fee schedule for the requested academic years. The school lists contact telephone numbers and an admissions/contact email for enquiries about admissions and administration. Summary of available facts and gaps - Key requested items (complete application fee figure; full tuition table listing all year groups and per‑term amounts; billing schedule and payment deadlines; itemised additional fees; refund policy; and accepted payment methods) are not published publicly for the English School Beverly Hills for 2026/27 or, where 2026/27 is not available, for 2025/26. The only specific numeric item found in public third‑party material was an isolated primary‑level figure (Primary 6: EGP 40,000) and an indication that some fees exceed EGP 20,000; these do not constitute a complete fee schedule.
