(These items are normally invoiced in addition to tuition where applicable.)

Refund and cancellation
- The registration deposit (KWD 100) is non-refundable. The first instalment is not refundable if the pupil has attended the school; the school reserves the right to claim the first instalment even if a pupil attended for only one day. For formal withdrawal, parents are required to complete the school's leaving/notification form.

Fee payment options
- The school provides an online instalments payment portal for paying fees. Parents should use the school's payment facilities or contact the school accounts office to arrange payment. Specific merchant/payment methods accepted by the portal (card, bank transfer or other) are processed through the school's payments system.
