Termly amounts (calculated example)
- The school's published figures are presented as annual amounts. Where families are billed per school term, a simple calculation to estimate a per‑term figure is annual fee ÷ 3 (three typical school terms in the British system). The per‑term numbers below are calculated by dividing the published annual amount by three (this is an inference based on the annual figures and a three‑term year; the school's actual invoicing schedule and per‑term breakdown were not published). Example (calculated):
- Pre‑School: EGP 115,000 ÷ 3 ≈ EGP 38,333 per term (calculated).
Billing schedule and payment terms
- No full public billing schedule or detailed payment‑term calendar (specific invoice dates, deadlines, or official installment plan details) was published in the fee listings examined. Families should note that the published figures are presented as annual fees; no definitive per‑term invoice schedule or official installment policy was available in the published fee lists reviewed.
Boarding fees
- Boarding is not indicated as a provision for this school in the published listings; published information references day‑school services and bus transport rather than boarding accommodation. No boarding fee schedule was published.
Other costs and typical additional charges
- Bus transport: EGP 45,000 per year (bus fee listed in one published fee listing).
- Books and learning materials: approximately EGP 5,000–8,000 per year (published estimate range).
- Uniforms and other compulsory consumables: amounts were not published in the examined fee lists.
Refund information
- The registration deposit is described in published fee lists as refundable (reported amounts EGP 5,000 and EGP 6,000). No detailed published tuition‑refund policy (for mid‑year withdrawal, late arrival, or early withdrawal) was available in the fee lists reviewed.
Fee payment options
- Specific payment methods (for example: which bank accounts to use, ability to pay by credit card, online payment portal details, or accepted currencies) were not published in the fee listings reviewed.
Summary notes on the published fee information
- The available published listings present annual tuition figures by year group and list a refundable registration deposit, an application fee, bus charges, and an estimated books budget. The listings reviewed did not provide a full official termly invoice schedule, detailed installment/payment terms, a complete breakdown of compulsory additional charges (uniform cost), boarding fees, or a full tuition‑refund policy. Where per‑term estimates are given above they are explicitly calculated from the published annual figures (annual ÷ 3) and noted as inferred.
