Sun of Knowledge British International School offers the British Curriculum to learners aged 2 to 18. The school follows a UK-aligned framework designed to provide consistent education from early years through to adolescence. With this curriculum, students experience a common set of educational aims and assessment expectations that support continuity as they move between age groups. The program aims to develop foundational skills in literacy and numeracy while expanding knowledge across subjects such as science, humanities, and the arts. The age range indicates a schooling pathway that begins in early years and continues into secondary levels, helping families plan for long-term academic progression within an internationally recognized system. For overseas families, this setup can provide familiar benchmarks and potential ease of transition. Details on facilities, specialists, and signature initiatives are not provided here.

Per-term amounts / how to derive termly payments - The amounts above are published as annual tuition. Per-term invoices are not published in full on the fee listings available; if a parent requires a per-term figure, divide the published annual tuition by the number of school terms used for billing (many Egyptian international schools use three school terms). This is an inferred calculation (annual ÷ number of terms) and not a published per-term schedule for this school.
Billing schedule and payment terms - No specific, itemised billing schedule (term dates for invoicing, due dates, or standard instalment deadlines) is published in the fee summaries reviewed. In practice, international schools in Cairo commonly issue tuition invoices on a per-term or annual basis and require payment by the invoiced due date; exact due dates, late‑payment penalties, and instalment options must be confirmed with the school accounts office. (Statement reflects the information reviewed and a general practice observed at comparable Cairo international schools.)
Transport (school bus) and other recurring non-tuition costs - School bus service: EGP 14,850 (indicative; may vary by route and distance). - Textbooks and uniforms: published fee summaries indicate that tuition figures may exclude textbooks and school uniforms; these are charged separately. Expect separate charges for booklists, uniform packs, and PE kit. - Additional possible costs (commonly charged by comparable schools): external exam fees (IGCSE/A‑Level where applicable), extracurricular activity fees, specialist subject levies, materials/consumables for art or technology, school trip costs, insurance, and medical/first‑aid charges. These are standard categories of extra costs at international schools and are not itemised in the fee listings reviewed for this school.
Boarding - No boarding provision or boarding fee is listed in the school's public fee summaries or directory entries reviewed; the school is presented as a day school with a bus service.
Refunds and deposits - No publicly published, itemised refund policy or refundable deposit schedule was located in the fee summaries reviewed. Where refund rules are not published, common practice at comparable schools is to apply specific conditions for refunds (for example: refundable deposits subject to rules, refunds pro‑rata for unused tuition when adequate written notice is given, and administrative conditions). The exact refund/withdrawal and deposit refund terms are not set out in the fee summaries consulted and should be confirmed with the school's finance office.
Payment options and how parents typically pay - The fee listings consulted do not specify a definitive list of accepted payment methods for this school. In Cairo, common payment channels used by international schools include bank transfer to the school account, in-person payment at the school's accounts office, and card payments; some schools also accept certified bank cheques. Confirmed bank-payment practices are used by other Cairo international schools as an example of common practice.
Other one-time or occasional charges - One‑time registration/enrolment items: application fee (EGP 2,000) and any entry/assessment fees charged at acceptance. - Uniform pack, booklist, exam fees, extracurricular/club fees, and trip costs are charged separately and are not included in the published annual tuition figures.
Short summary for budgeting - Budget lines to allow for: application fee (EGP 2,000 one‑time), annual tuition (per-grade amounts listed above), school bus (approx. EGP 14,850 if used), uniforms, textbooks and consumables (charged separately), exam fees and optional extracurriculars. Use the published annual tuition figures above as the primary tuition budget line.
