How the instalments and billing are scheduled (payment terms)
- Additional fees (mandatory extras such as book charges and similar additional fees) are billed first; this payment is due on 01/06/2024. The tuition itself is collected in three equal instalments.
- Instalment due dates: first tuition instalment due 01/09/2024; second instalment due 01/12/2024; third instalment due 01/02/2025. The school's published quarterly billing calendar lists these dates and specifies that the total tuition is divided into three equal payments.
- Late‑payment handling: reminders begin after a 10‑day delay; escalation and restrictions (including withholding reports and system access) apply for continued non‑payment; extended arrears trigger meetings with the accounting office and possible enrollment restrictions.

Mandatory and optional additional costs
- Mandatory additional fees include charges for books and curriculum consumables; these are invoiced as part of the first (additional fees) payment.
- Optional costs that may be charged separately include school uniform, transportation (school bus), and other optional services or extracurricular fees. Parents may opt in for these services and pay them in addition to tuition.
- The cashier desk is open Sunday–Thursday, 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM for in‑person payments and inquiries; the school's accounting contact is accounting@bhis-school.qa and phone +974 4012 3388 (extension 358).
