Bus service

The school operates a bus service with established pickup and drop-off points; students must follow the directions of the bus monitor, stay in their seats and wear seat belts at all times.

Application & Registration Fees
- Application (application processing) fee: EGP 3,000 per application.
- Registration / re-enrollment fee: a one-time registration or re-enrollment payment is required to secure a place. A registration amount of EGP 4,000 has been reported in past school communications. The re-enrollment payment is treated as an advance against the following year's tuition and is refundable if the student withdraws before the school's published cutoff (see Refund information).

Tuition fees (by year group)
- Junior Kindergarten (JK) and SK (Early Years): EGP 190,000 per year.
- Grade 1 to Grade 6 (Primary): EGP 190,000 per year.
- Grade 7 to Grade 12 (Secondary): EGP 214,000 per year.

Per-term examples (when the annual tuition is divided into equal term instalments):
- If the annual fee is split into three equal term payments (common practice in many international schools), approximate per-term amounts would be:
- JK / SK / Grades 1–6: ~EGP 63,333 per term (EGP 190,000 ÷ 3).
- Grades 7–12: ~EGP 71,333 per term (EGP 214,000 ÷ 3).
These per-term figures are the arithmetic division of the published annual fee into three equal instalments for budgeting purposes; the school issues invoices and may offer specific instalment schedules.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Re-enrollment timing: the school requires payment of the re-enrollment fee during the re-enrollment window in spring (example dates in prior communications: mid-April to mid-May). The re-enrollment fee is treated as an advance and is applied to the following year's tuition. Outstanding tuition from the prior year must be settled before re-enrollment is accepted.
- Instalments and deadlines: the school issues tuition invoices and requires timely settlement; prior communications note that final instalments for a school year have been due in January in past years, and that individual payment plans can be arranged with the Accounts office. Exact instalment dates and options are published by the school each year.
- Late-payment and place-holding: the initial re-enrollment/registration payment is required in full to hold a place; failure to meet deadlines can result in loss of the reserved place and/or invoiced amounts remaining due.

Boarding / Accommodation
- No boarding programme is offered; the school operates as a day school and provides school bus transportation for commuting students.

Transportation (school bus) fees
- School bus fees are charged separately from tuition. Reported bus fees for the 2025–2026 listing are EGP 48,000 per year. Earlier listings have shown different amounts historically; the bus fee is billed in addition to tuition.

Other compulsory or optional costs
- School uniform and basic supplies: students must obtain the school uniform and the grade-specific supply items listed by the school; supply lists are published for each grade. The school supply lists identify required items but do not list fixed prices — uniform and supply costs are paid by parents through external retailers or school-designated suppliers.
- Optional/extra charges: charges may apply for optional services and activities, such as: lunches, paid after-school activities, some field trips, extracurricular programs, and occasional exam fees or external programme fees. These are billed separately when applicable.

Refund information
- Re-enrollment fee refund: the re-enrollment fee is deducted from the following year's tuition and is refundable in full if the student withdraws before the school's stated cutoff date (previously published examples indicate refunds if withdrawal occurs before July 31 in a prior year's re-enrollment communication). The re-enrollment payment is non-refundable after the school's published refund cutoff.
- General refunds and withdrawals: the re-enrollment portion is explicitly handled as above; other refunds (for example prorated tuition refunds after term start) are governed by the school's published finance policy and specific enrolment contract terms and therefore depend on the timing and reason for withdrawal. For planning, expect that initial advance instalments and registration payments are treated as conditions for securing a place and that refund eligibility is time-bound.

Fee payment options
- Accepted payment methods include: cash, cheques, bank transfer, bank deposit, and credit card. Parents are instructed to send payment receipts (with student name and grade) to the school's finance address when paying by bank transfer.
- Payment plans and financing: the school has offered partnerships with financial providers to enable instalment and financing options for families; individual payment plans may be arranged with the Accounts office.

Notes on annual adjustments
- Annual fee adjustments are applied in line with prevailing regulations and school policy; previous local listings and communications have referenced general increases (for example a 10% increase figure has been shown in prior public listings). Families should anticipate annual adjustments when budgeting.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

It encourages critical and independent thinking, values the diversity of its international community, and aims to create a climate of respect and acceptance for everyone.

(Annual tuition figures above are published fee levels for the 2025/2026 academic year; per‑term amounts are calculated by dividing the published annual fee by three, since the school issues reports and operates on three academic terms.)

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school accepts online payments through a secure payment portal that redirects to the Paymob payment gateway; a confirmation email is sent after a successful transaction.
- The published fee overview distinguishes one‑time assessment and registration fees (applied at assessment/registration) from recurring annual tuition; the first year's total for new entrants therefore typically includes those one‑time fees in addition to the annual tuition.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not listed among the school facilities; the school lists bus transport, cafeteria and other day‑school facilities but does not offer boarding. No boarding fees apply.

Other costs and additional charges

- Uniforms and school materials are required; the Parent & Student Handbook sets out the uniform policy and lists required school materials, but uniform prices are not published in the public fee tables. Additional charges (for items such as field trips, external examinations, books, transport, co‑curricular activities or other optional services) may apply and are not included in the published tuition figures.

Refund information

- The assessment (application) fee and the one‑time registration fee are non‑refundable.
- No publicly published, detailed refund policy for tuition instalments or withdrawals is available in the school's publicly posted fee materials; specific refund terms for tuition (for example, on mid‑year withdrawal or early departure) are not included in the published fee pages.

Fee payment options (methods)

- Online card and electronic payments: payments may be made through the school's online payment portal which directs transactions to Paymob's secure gateway. Paymob supports major card schemes and multiple electronic payment methods commonly used in Egypt and the region.
- A school invoice and the finance office are referenced for admissions and administration contacts; specific alternative methods (bank transfer details, in‑person payments, cheques) are not listed in the public fee summary but may be available through the school's Finance Office on request.

Brief note about data coverage and missing details

- The figures above reflect the school's published annual tuition levels for the 2025/2026 academic year and the school's stated non‑refundable assessment and registration fees. The school's public fees page contains a downloadable fee schedule link; however, the online public fee page shows the tuition table as the published amounts above while some school pages show ‘‘To Be Updated'' for a separate tuition table. Specific published instalment deadlines, an official term‑by‑term billing schedule, exact uniform prices, explicit tuition refund rules for mid‑year withdrawal, and any separate boarding fees (if introduced) are not publicly itemised in the school's posted fee documents that accompany the 2025/2026 fee listing. The school's online payment portal is active and uses Paymob for secure processing.

Curriculum
