Fee Breakdown
Fees
Application and assessment fees - Assessment / application fee: QAR 200 (one-off at the time of assessment). - Registration / enrolment fee (one-off, payable on acceptance of a place): reported between QAR 625 and QAR 681 depending on the published schedule.
Tuition fees by year group (annual and per-term where published) - FS1 / KG1 (age 3): Annual tuition QAR 17,750. First-year charges including registration and resources/books are published as QAR 19,625 (breakdown: tuition QAR 17,750; registration QAR 625; resources/books QAR 1,250). - FS2 / KG2 (age 4): Annual tuition QAR 17,750. - Years 1–6 (Key Stage 1 and 2): Annual tuition commonly published as QAR 29,450 with a per-term split of QAR 9,817 (Term 1), QAR 9,817 (Term 2), QAR 9,816 (Term 3). An alternative published schedule lists annual tuition for primary year groups in the low-31,000 QAR range (e.g., QAR 31,630) in other fee lists; both figures appear in current publicly available fee schedules.
Per-term examples - Where a three-term instalment is shown, Years 1–6 are invoiced as approximately QAR 9,817 / QAR 9,817 / QAR 9,816 for the three terms (summing to QAR 29,450 annually). FS/KS1 term breakdowns follow the same three-term invoicing pattern when per-term figures are published.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is billed termly in three instalments (Autumn/Term 1, Spring/Term 2, Summer/Term 3). Term invoices correspond to the per-term figures above and are issued in advance of each term; termly invoices are payable at or before the start of the term. - Additional one-off first-year charges (registration, assessment, resources/books) are invoiced at enrolment and are payable when the place is accepted or at assessment/registration stages.
Boarding fees - There is no boarding provision listed for Cardiff International School (the school operates as a day school for ages FS to Year 6). No boarding fees apply.
Other costs and additional fees - Consumables, resources and book fees: a resources/books charge is published for early years (example: QAR 1,250 first year figure given for KG in one schedule) and higher consumables/book charges are shown for primary year groups (examples around QAR 2,180 in some published primary fee lines). These charges are invoiced in addition to tuition. - Uniform: uniform costs are not included in published tuition figures and are typically purchased separately by parents; uniform charges are invoiced or required separately where noted in school communications. - Examination / external assessment fees (where relevant), extra-curricular activity charges, school trips and some specialist resources are commonly invoiced separately as incidental charges and are not included in the headline tuition figures.
Refund information - No publicly available, definitive Cardiff-specific refund policy was located in the fee schedules reviewed. Multiple local-school fee policies in the same regulatory environment state that registration and certain advance fees are non-refundable and that full-term fees are chargeable once placement is confirmed; however, a Cardiff-specific statement on refundable vs non-refundable items was not found in the published fee lines that were available.
Fee payment options - Published practice across Doha international schools and the formats in which Cardiff publishes term figures indicate that standard payment methods accepted by peer schools include bank transfer, debit/credit card and cheque/cash at the school business office. Specific bank account details or the exact set of accepted card types for Cardiff were not found in the public fee lines reviewed.
Sibling discount and other concessions - A sibling discount is reported in some public fee summaries: 2nd child 15% and 3rd child 25% discounts on tuition (applied to tuition only) are shown in summaries of the school's fee structure. Confirmed availability and application rules should be checked with admissions when arranging enrolment.
