Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- Detailed tuition amounts by year group and per term are not published in the school's publicly available fee pages; a full, itemised tuition schedule per year group and per term for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26) is not available in the school's published materials. Therefore specific numeric tuition figures per grade/term cannot be provided here.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Annual tuition is billed in two instalments: the first instalment is due on 1 September and the second instalment is due on 1 January.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Dar El Tarbiah IGCSE Zamalek does not publish any boarding provision or boarding fee schedule in its public materials; boarding fees are therefore not applicable based on the available information. The school offers day schooling and an organised bus (transportation) service.
Other costs or fees
- Transportation: bus fees (payment due 1 September) apply for families using the school bus service.

Fee payment options
- The school's publicly available pages and fee notices do not list specific accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit card, cheque, or cash). No definitive, published statement of accepted payment channels was found in the school's fee pages.
Availability of full tuition schedule
