- If the second installment is not paid before the first day of term, the child will not be accepted until fees are paid; in the event of non-payment after one week the child's seat and fees already paid will be forfeited. If the final installment is not paid by December 31, the child will not be accepted until fees are fully settled.

Refund policy and conditions for partial refunds
- Fees are generally non‑refundable. The Guarantee Form sets out limited refund conditions when parents remove a child before a term starts:
- If written notice is given at least 30 days before the first term starts, the paid amount is refunded less QR 1,000 (tuition charge) and QR 200 (bus charge) where applicable.
- If notice is given at least 30 days before the second term starts, the amount paid is refunded less one term's fees and the charge described above.
- If notice is given at least 30 days before the third term starts, the amount paid is refunded less the two previous payments and the bus charge stated above.
- Under no other circumstances will fees be refunded. These refund rules are applied as written in the school's Guarantee Form.
Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / other)
- The school's published fee documents and terms do not specify the accepted payment methods (for example, credit card, bank transfer, cheque, or in‑person POS). Parents should note that specific accepted payment channels are not listed in the published tuition and terms documents.
Consequences and administrative points
- Registration of each child is treated individually; no sibling discounts or fee transfers between siblings are applied. Fees are expected on schedule and the school is not obliged to remind parents of due dates. Failure to comply with payment deadlines can result in forfeiture of the student's seat.
