Fees

Annual tuition at Asten College ranges from EGP 92,625 for 2026/27.

Application fee

- Application fee: EGP 1,500 (one‑time).

Tuition fees by school year (annual / per-term detail)

- A full, official fee schedule broken down by year group and by term for the 2026/27 academic year is not published in the school's public materials. Public school directories list only indicative annual figures rather than a complete per‑year, per‑term schedule.

- Indicative annual figures reported by independent Egyptian school directories:
- “Fees start from EGP 134,000” (indicative starting annual tuition reported).
- An alternate public listing reports a starting tuition figure of EGP 92,625 (reported as a starting annual tuition).

- Because the school has not published a detailed per‑grade / per‑term breakdown in its public documents, no accurate statement of exact tuition by specific school year or exact per‑term instalments can be provided here.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school's publicly available Admissions / Essential Resources pages do not publish a formal billing schedule or the precise payment terms (number and due dates of instalments, penalties for late payment, or discounts for advance payment). Parents should be aware that such details are not available in the school's public materials.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- No boarding provision or boarding fees are listed in the school's public descriptions. Transport is offered via a school bus service; public listings report an annual transportation fee of approximately EGP 25,000. There is no public indication that on‑campus boarding is provided.

Other costs and additional charges

- Book / learning‑materials fees: a public listing reports book fees of about EGP 20,000 (reported as a separate charge).

- Uniforms: uniform costs are not listed as specific amounts in public materials; directories note that uniform costs may be charged separately or are excluded from the published tuition figures.

- Supply lists and year‑group stationery lists are available as essential resources but do not show consolidated prices; families can expect usual additional outlays for stationery, school kit, and optional activities.

- One‑time registration / acceptance charges beyond the application fee (for example a separate registration deposit) are not detailed in the publicly available materials.

Refund information

- No detailed refund policy for tuition, registration, or ancillary fees is published in the school's publicly accessible materials. The single reported application fee is listed as a standard application charge by directories, but an explicit published statement about whether it (or other fees) is refundable was not found.

Fee payment options

- Specific payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, online payment portal, cheque acceptance) are not listed in the school's public pages. Contact details (telephone and admissions email) are published for payment and admissions enquiries.

Summary / important note on completeness

- Publicly available listings and school directory entries provide only indicative headline figures (application fee, an indicative range/starting annual tuition, a reported transport charge, and reported book charge). The school's own public pages do not publish a full, grade‑by‑grade, per‑term fee schedule nor formal billing dates, payment terms, or a detailed refund policy in the materials accessible online. The figures above are the principal fees reported publicly; a full per‑year and per‑term breakdown for the 2026/27 academic year was not found in the school's published resources.
