Reported annual fee tables are the basis for the figures above. Per‑term detail - Published fee information is presented as annual fees. The school's public fee pages and available published fee tables do not show a standardized per‑term charge or the number of instalments used for billing; therefore per‑term amounts are not published. Parents should note the fees above are annual totals. Billing schedule and payment terms - All fees are subject to VAT in accordance with Saudi Arabian regulations. - Payment methods published for fee collection: STC Pay QR code, cheque payable to "Maarif for Education", Mada Card, and the school's Direct Payment Service (online payment portal/payment dashboard).

Other costs and miscellaneous charges - Tuition is stated to include textbooks, all materials, services and student activities (these items are covered within the published tuition). - Uniforms: uniforms are mandatory from kindergarten through high school and are provided to parents “at cost”; an online ordering service is available, but specific uniform price lists are not published on the public uniform page. Any uniform purchase cost is invoiced separately from tuition. - Transportation, lunch, specialized program fees, exam fees, or other ancillary charges are not itemized in the school's publicly posted fee summary.

If a separate charge for transport or meals applies it is not shown in the school's public fee summary. Refund information - The school's publicly available fee and policy pages do not include a detailed refund policy or explicit rules on refunds/proration for late withdrawal or mid‑year leaving in the fee summary accessible to the public.

The public fee summary and policy pages do not publish separate application/registration fees, a term‑by‑term billing schedule, detailed ancillary charges (transport, lunch, exam or activity fees), a boarding fee schedule, or a public refund/proration table. Where annual tuition numbers are required by grade, publicly accessible fee aggregators have published annual figures that match the banding shown in the school's public fee summary and related listings.

These amounts are presented as campus‑specific annual tuition totals. Per‑term amounts and billing frequency - Published figures are shown as annual tuition amounts. A campus‑level “Founding fee (year 1)” is published for the King Abdullah campus as a discounted first‑year amount; the standard fees are presented as annual totals. No definitive per‑term (termly) fee breakdown with term dates or exact due dates is published in the available admissions materials. Installment/financing options are offered for spreading the annual amount. Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is published as an annual fee; the school offers payment by instalment/financing (example: 12‑month installment services and multiple payment partners are used on published school listings).

Specific invoice dates, term due dates, late‑payment penalties or exact installment deadlines are not published in the accessible admissions summary. Boarding fees - No boarding program or boarding fees are published for the Riyadh (King Abdullah) or Yanbu campuses; school locations are presented as day campuses with regular school hours (Sun–Thu 7:30am–3:30pm). No separate boarding charges are listed. Other costs and what is included - The King Abdullah campus states that the standard annual fee includes books, booklets and uniform. Published annual totals for other campuses are presented as overall tuition amounts; separate published line items for uniform, textbooks, examination fees or transport are not consistently listed alongside the published annual tuition totals. Expect additional optional or ancillary charges (transport, certain extracurricular activities, external exam fees) in practice, although separate line items are not shown in the available public fee summaries. Refunds and withdrawal - The admissions form process references an Enrollment & Payment Policies agreement that students/parents accept at enrollment, indicating formal refund/withdrawal terms are governed by those policies. A publicly accessible, detailed refund table or a full refund policy is not presented in the admissions summary materials available alongside the fee tables; specific refund percentages, notice periods or settlement procedures are therefore not published in the same admissions summaries. Fee payment options - Payment and financing options shown on the school's public listings include installment/finance partners and online payment platforms (examples of payment partners displayed on published listings include Tamara, Amwal, Baseta, Jeel Pay and other payment‑service providers). The school's campus fee pages show that installment financing over multiple months is an available option for families. Standard payment routes such as bank transfer or card payment are customarily used by schools in this market, and multiple online payment partners are presented on published fee listings. Summary notes for data entry - All published amounts above are presented as annual tuition totals by campus and grade. The King Abdullah campus publishes both a discounted first‑year ‘‘founding'' amount and a standard annual fee (the standard fee is stated to include books, booklets and uniform). The Yanbu and other campus listings show differing annual totals; instalment financing is offered as a payment method. Exact term‑by‑term invoices, specific due dates, and a detailed public refund schedule are not included in the campus admission summaries available alongside the published fee amounts.
