Billing schedule and payment terms

- Payment deadlines: each instalment must be paid at least seven (7) days before the start of the relevant term.
- Invoices: the school will provide invoices and receipts. Families who require an annual invoice in the first semester must pay the full annual tuition in the first semester.
- Registration/re‑registration timing: the registration deposit for new students must be paid within seven days of receiving an offer to secure the place; the re‑registration deposit for returning students is payable in the second semester when requested.
Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. The school operates as a day school; no boarding fees apply.
Other costs and optional charges
- School uniform: charged separately; cost set and communicated by the school at time of enrolment or when required.
- Transport (school bus): optional and charged separately; transport is offered and typical annual ranges reported for similar services are AED 6,000–9,000 (actual route pricing depends on pick‑up/drop‑off points).
- Lunch / nutritional meals: optional and charged separately.
- Supplementary learning materials, textbooks, teaching aids and certain activities: charged separately as required.
Note: these items are not included in the tuition and are billed in addition to tuition and deposits.
Refund information
- Tuition paid prior to the start of the academic year is refundable after deduction of the registration or re‑registration deposit.
- If a student withdraws after enrolment, refunds are calculated from the start of the term and the date of the official withdrawal request submitted by the parent (not from the date of absence). The deduction schedule is:
- Enrolled two weeks or less: registration/re‑registration deposit plus one month's tuition is deducted.
- Enrolled more than two weeks and up to one month: registration/re‑registration deposit plus two months' tuition are deducted.
- Enrolled for more than one month: the full term tuition for that term is deducted (no term refund).
- Registration and re‑registration deposits are not refundable except in circumstances outlined under applicable regulatory provisions (for example relocation under regulatory criteria); families should contact Admissions to discuss exceptional cases.
Fee payment options and instructions
- Accepted payment methods: bank transfer (online) or cash deposit into the school's bank account; cheques and cash payments made at the school office are not accepted.
- Bank details and transfer instructions are provided by the school; payments must include the student's name and grade/class in the transfer reference. Proof of payment (transfer screenshot or deposit slip) must be emailed to the school accountant at account@csd.ae.
- When parents request an annual invoice in the first semester, the annual tuition must be paid in full to receive that invoice.
Specific bank details published for school payments include the account name, account number, IBAN and SWIFT code for transfers to the school's Emirates NBD account; parents should use the provided transfer reference format when making payments.
