Aljazari International School of Science and Technology

Instructs in English, Turkish

Ages 3 - 18 years

Type Co-educational

Aljazari International School of Science and Technology offers a multi-curriculum programme designed to support diverse student pathways. The primary-year program follows the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), encouraging inquiry-based learning that connects subjects through real-world questions. For older students, the Australian Curriculum provides a standards-based framework across core subjects, ensuring consistency with widely recognised national expectations. In addition, Advanced Placement (AP) courses are available to provide opportunities for college-level study and to challenge high-achieving learners. This blended approach enables students to experience international-mindedness through IB concepts while also engaging with rigorous standards and assessment patterns common in Australian education and AP offerings. The school's name and focus reflect an emphasis on science and technology, preparing students for further study in STEM fields and related disciplines through structured, inquiry-driven learning experiences and pathways.

Application fees

The application fee itself is non‑refundable.

- The school advertises periodic discounts that affect the payable tuition (examples shown historically include early registration, sibling and early/full‑payment discounts); discount levels have varied and are applied according to the school's published discount program at the time of registration. Example discount figures previously published include early‑registration, sibling and early‑payment discounts (examples shown: 15% early registration; 8% sibling; 4% early payment; in some communications temporary COVID‑period and full‑payment discounts have also been offered).

- A student debit card and other routine items (extracurricular activities, stationery kits, exam materials or special project costs) have been listed as parts of or adjacent to the school's fee planning in past fee descriptions; whether any of these are charged as additional optional items or included in a specific year's published annual fee statement is determined by the school's annual fee statement for that intake.

Refund information

- The application fee is non‑refundable. If placement/tuition payment is made before admission confirmation and admission is not granted, payments (other than the non‑refundable application fee) will be returned in full less bank service charges. More detailed refund rules (for withdrawals after enrollment, term‑end refunds, or special circumstances) are handled under the school's admissions and financial policy as provided to enrolled families.

Fee payment options

- The school does not publish a public list of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, instalment plans) on its general public fee pages. Payment method options, instalment availability and any bank‑related charges are communicated directly by the school during the registration and enrollment process. Contact details for the school's admissions/finance office are provided by the school for families to confirm payment arrangements.
