Readmission (returning students) payment profile

- For returning students the published readmission schedule shows the readmission payment excludes the Admission form and Registration fee; the published readmission totals are Session fee + one month tuition. Example: Reception II readmission total OMR 57.000 and readmission incl. books OMR 74.5. Equivalent readmission totals for all grades follow the same pattern in the published readmission table.

Sibling discounts

- Published monthly sibling fee waivers: 2nd child OMR 5.000 off monthly fee; 3rd child OMR 10.000 off monthly fee; 4th child OMR 15.000 off monthly fee.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Payment plans offered: annual, semester, or monthly installments. Families may choose any of these installment options.
- Bank payments procedure: bank transfers are accepted; parents must include Student Name, Grade & Registration Number in the bank payment remarks for verification. Bank receipt without the required reference may not be accepted for payment verification. The accounts office publishes a contact/WhatsApp number for payment queries.
- New‑admission first payment requirement (published format): Admission form + Registration fee + Session charge + one month's tuition are collected at admission; Books & notes are charged as a separate item (listed per grade).

Boarding

- No boarding or residential boarding fees are listed in the published school facility and admissions material; no boarding fee schedule applies.

Other costs and mandatory items

- Books & notebooks: published charge shown per grade (see grade list above).
- Uniform: official uniform is required; detailed style by year group is published but no uniform price schedule is published. Parents should budget separately for uniform purchase.
- IGCSE and IAL registration and exam charges: these apply for eligible candidates but specific amounts for IGCSE and IAL registration/exam charges are not published in the accessible fee table.

Refunds and withdrawal / transfer (T/C) procedures

- No separate refund policy is published in the fee schedule. The published withdrawal/transfer procedure requires a written withdrawal request, completion of school clearance, settlement of any outstanding fees or dues, return of school property, payment of any T/C fees, and then issue of the Transfer Certificate once dues are cleared. Any refunds (if applicable) are therefore subject to clearance and accounts verification as part of the withdrawal process.

Fee payment methods (published / documented options)

- Bank transfer is documented as an accepted and verifiable payment route; parents are instructed to include Student Name, Grade & Reg. No. in bank remarks for verification. The accounts office/Admissions contact details (email, phone, WhatsApp) are provided for fee enquiries and payment verification. No published statement specifies acceptance of credit‑card payments or online card processing.

Brief note on items not published as numeric values

- The published schedule provides the monthly tuition, session charge components, registration/admission charges, books & notes and readmission totals for Academic Year 2026–27; it does not publish per‑term or per‑academic‑year lump sums explicitly, uniform prices, or exact IGCSE/IAL registration/exam fee amounts in the accessible fee documents. Per‑term or annual totals are calculated according to the payment plan chosen (annual/semester/monthly) and by multiplying the monthly tuition by the number of tuition months covered in that plan.
