Application / Registration fees

- A registration (application) fee is required to secure a place; payment of the registration fee is necessary within 10 working days after a successful assessment and parent conference.

Tuition fees (summary and example)

- Tuition fees vary by year group and are billed as instalments. The school issues student-specific invoices showing the tuition amount and splits the annual tuition into instalments (example below).

- Example (actual invoice for a Year 4 pupil, invoice dated 01/12/2025):
- Tuition (annual total): EGP 130,216.00.
- Tuition 1st instalment: EGP 64,433.00.
- Tuition 2nd instalment: EGP 65,783.00.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school requires instalment payments. The first tuition instalment is scheduled for payment into the school account between 1 May and 15 May (as an example of the school's published payment window for the first instalment). Additional fee payment deadlines appear on the school calendar (the calendar records fee-payment windows such as periods in early December). Late payment is subject to the school's contract terms.

- Invoices show explicit due dates per invoice (for example, the Year 4 invoice carried a due date of 15/12/2025). Instalment amounts and due dates are stated on each pupil's invoice.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not listed or referenced in the school's parent-facing materials reviewed; the available materials and invoices indicate day-school tuition and associated services rather than boarding charges. (No boarding fee schedule was located in the documents consulted.)

Other costs and recurring extras

- Transport (school bus): bus services are charged separately; the school's behaviour/transport rules note that suspension from the bus may be enforced without refund of bus fees in specific circumstances. Specific bus-price amounts were not found in the materials reviewed.

- Uniform: a school uniform programme / online uniform store is in operation and uniforms are sold via the school's uniform portal. Uniform purchases are a separate, additional cost.

- Examination and external assessment fees, activity / ECA charges, trips, and other pupil-specific charges are typically billed separately on student invoices or as additional items; specific price lines for these items were not provided in the sample invoice reviewed.

Refunds and withdrawal

- The school's policies and invoices state that late payment and contract terms govern refunds; the behaviour/transport policy explicitly notes there may be no refund of bus fees where suspension is enforced. A formal, itemised refund schedule (amounts and conditions) was not present in the public materials examined; refunds and deposit/withdrawal conditions are documented in the school's contract and individual invoices.

Fee payment options

- Bank deposit and online bank transfer are accepted. Invoices list the school bank (example shown on a pupil invoice: Banque Misr with the school account number and IBAN for transfers). Parents are instructed to include the child's name and year group on payment slips and to provide a copy of the payment receipt to the accounts office or to bsefinance@bse.edu.eg.

- The school provides an Online Payments portal for convenience; individual invoices identify the school bank details for direct deposit and IBAN/SWIFT for international transfers.

Summary of what is included above and availability of figures

- The overview above gives the school's required payment steps, instalment method and an actual invoiced example (Year 4, annual tuition EGP 130,216 split into two instalments). The school issues pupil-specific invoices that list the instalment amounts, due dates and bank transfer details for each enrolled student.

Notes on availability and completeness

- A full, published public fee schedule listing tuition amounts for every year group and a dedicated 2026/27 fee-table was not located in the publicly accessible materials reviewed. The figures supplied above are taken from the school's admission/payment guidance and a representative pupil invoice dated December 2025. For a complete, year-group breakdown of tuition by term or instalment for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year, the school issues individual invoices and formal fee schedules to applicants and enrolling families; the materials examined did not include a single consolidated public table listing every year group's published amounts.
