Per‑term amounts (billing format commonly used by the school) - The Duhail fee schedule lists the tuition as an annual total. The school's published campus fee schedules are administered on a three‑term billing pattern (instalments normally due across the academic year in three amounts — the typical instalment months used across AGS campuses are July, November and March); applying that three‑term pattern to the Duhail annual tuition of QAR 25,400 produces a notional instalment of approximately QAR 8,466.67 per term (25,400 ÷ 3). The Duhail kindergarten fee sheet provides the annual totals and the seat‑reservation deduction; it does not itemise term‑by‑term invoice dates for Duhail in the fee document itself.

Admissions

Step 1: Visit by Parents/Guardians. Parents/guardians begin the admissions process by contacting the school secretary on 44980124 Admissions Office to arrange a tour of the school. This first visit is a required part of the admissions process as parents should have a good idea of the school, meet the staff and see other children and their workbooks. We then invite each prospective student to meet with a member of the school team for an assessment visit. Depending on the entry grade, this visit may be in a group or scheduled individually as an entrance assessment. Step 2: Registration. For Doha-based families, complete Registration Admission, with photograph of applicant attached and copies of passport, ID card and health/immunisation records. Pay the non refundable registration fee. Current and previous year's transcripts, as well as school records from current school sent directly from your child's current school. Step 3: Entrance Assessment. Students are invited to attend AGS to complete the entrance assessment for the appropriate year group. The assessment is carried out by the teacher responsible for that year group when possible. If relocation from outside Doha prevents an in-person visit, a phone or video conference assessment is possible, or placement may be offered on the basis of the application along with teacher evaluations and records. Final admissions decisions are at the discretion of the Principal and the school admissions committee. Parents are usually notified within 48 hours if successful; if so, health forms, bus forms if applicable, relevant documentation, and payment of the uniform, book, and tuition fees are required. Step 4: Non-Discrimination Policy. Awfaz Global School admits students on a non-discriminatory basis without regard to race, colour, nationality, family orientation, or ethnic origin; procedures are open and transparent and ensure that students capable of transferring to AGS are admitted.
