Application & admission fees - An application process requires payment of an admission fee of L.E. 2,500; this fee is required after submitting the application form and before sitting the admittance exam. The admission/application fees are non‑refundable unless the school declines the application.
Tuition fees (by year group / per term) - The school's publicly available IGCSE pages do not publish a detailed per‑grade, per‑term tuition schedule for the 2026/27 academic year (nor a complete 2025/26 fee table) on the IGCSE/Agouza pages. Tuition is stated to vary by grade level and program, but specific amounts per term or per school year are not posted on the IGCSE information pages.
Billing schedule and payment terms - After acceptance following testing and interview, parents are asked to pay the remainder of the first installment to secure the place; beyond that, no public, itemized trimester/term or installment schedule (dates, number of installments, or penalty terms) is published on the school's IGCSE pages.
Boarding fees (if applicable) - Boarding is not described as part of the IGCSE Agouza offering; the school operates with daily attendance and provides an organised school bus service for students, which indicates no boarding programme is offered for the Agouza IGCSE campus. Therefore, boarding fees are not applicable for the Agouza IGCSE campus.

Refund information - The admission fee is non‑refundable unless the school declines the application. The British Council (exam body) does not issue refunds for exam registrations.
