Fees
Annual tuition at Advanced Generations International Schools ranges from SAR 29,000 to SAR 56,500 for 2026/27.
Application / Registration fees - No separately itemised "application fee" amount is published in the school's public fee summary; the published fee materials reference one‑time first‑year charges that are additional to the annual tuition but do not list a single labelled application fee amount in the publicly-available summary.
Tuition fees by year group (annual and per‑term) - The school publishes annual tuition totals by grade for the 2025/2026 academic year as follows (amounts shown in Saudi Riyals, SAR): - KG1 (Age 3): SAR 29,000. - KG2 (Age 4): SAR 32,000. - KG3 (Age 5): SAR 33,500. - Grade 1 (Age 6): SAR 40,000. - Grade 2: SAR 40,000. - Grade 3: SAR 40,000. - Grade 4: SAR 42,000. - Grade 5: SAR 42,000. - Grade 6: SAR 43,000. - Grade 7: SAR 45,000. - Grade 8: SAR 48,000. - Grade 9: SAR 51,300. - Grade 10: SAR 55,000. - Grade 11: SAR 56,500. - Grade 12: SAR 56,500.
- Per‑term presentation: the school's admissions form and calendar reference three academic semesters; dividing the published annual tuition by three yields the following per‑term figures (these per‑term numbers are a direct arithmetical breakdown of the published annual totals and an inference based on the three‑semester academic structure): - KG1: SAR 9,667 per term (SAR 29,000 ÷ 3). - KG2: SAR 10,667 per term (SAR 32,000 ÷ 3). - KG3: SAR 11,167 per term (SAR 33,500 ÷ 3). - Grade 1–3: SAR 13,333 per term (SAR 40,000 ÷ 3). - Grade 4–5: SAR 14,000 per term (SAR 42,000 ÷ 3). - Grade 6: SAR 14,333 per term (SAR 43,000 ÷ 3). - Grade 7: SAR 15,000 per term (SAR 45,000 ÷ 3). - Grade 8: SAR 16,000 per term (SAR 48,000 ÷ 3). - Grade 9: SAR 17,100 per term (SAR 51,300 ÷ 3). - Grade 10: SAR 18,333 per term (SAR 55,000 ÷ 3). - Grade 11–12: SAR 18,833 per term (SAR 56,500 ÷ 3).
Notes about the tuition figures - The published annual figures above are the school's stated tuition totals for each grade for 2025/2026. Some published summaries note that first‑year one‑time charges (for example registration/enrolment processing, capital or placement fees) are separate from the annual tuition figure; those one‑time first‑year charges were referenced in the school's fee materials but were not itemised with a single, labelled ‘‘application fee'' amount in the public summary I accessed.
Billing schedule and payment terms - The school operates on a three‑semester academic structure; billing is presented against the academic year and the school's fee materials and registration interface treat the academic year in terms/semesters. The per‑term figures above are an arithmetic division of the published annual totals into three equal parts (this equal‑third per‑term breakdown is an inferred presentation consistent with the three‑semester academic structure). - Public summaries and third‑party listings indicate that flexible installment arrangements and multi‑installment billing are offered; accepted payment methods cited in public materials include bank transfer, cash and an electronic/online payment service; specific invoice dates, instalment deadlines, late‑payment penalties and exact instalment options are set out in the school's detailed fee schedule.
Boarding fees (if applicable) - No boarding provision or boarding fees are listed in the school's public materials or in public school summaries; AGS is represented as a day school provision for kindergarten through Grade 12 in the accessible school descriptions, therefore boarding fees do not apply.
Other costs and additional fees - The school's fee documentation and public summaries identify additional chargeable items that are commonly billed on top of tuition; examples found in public materials include: one‑time first‑year charges/placement or registration items, book and learning‑materials fees, digital device/Chromebook or technology charges, examination fees, activity or extracurricular charges and school transport (bus) fees. Where amounts for these extras were published in ancillary documents, they appeared as separate line items. - Sibling discounts and family discounts are mentioned in public summaries (discount examples found in published summaries indicate tiered sibling reductions). Payment plans and the possibility of instalment arrangements are also mentioned in public summaries.
Refund information - The school's formal fee schedule and registration terms define refund and cancellation conditions for admissions and fee payments. Public overviews and the fee summary available in public listings do not provide a single consolidated refund formula in the summary extracts reviewed; specific refund/cancellation conditions, deadlines and any administrative deductions are set out in the school's detailed registration/fee policy documents.
Fee payment options - Publicly cited payment options and practices include: - Bank transfer to the school account. - Electronic / online payment portal (secure payment gateway). - Cash payments (acceptance of cash is cited in public summaries). - Instalment / flexible payment plans (multi‑installment billing is cited in public summaries).
Key factual points (summary) - Annual tuition totals by grade for 2025/2026 are published and are shown above. - The school's admission/registration materials use a three‑semester academic year; the per‑term amounts presented above are a one‑third arithmetic division of the published annual tuition (an inferred per‑term presentation consistent with the three‑semester structure). - No boarding provision or boarding fees are listed; additional fees (books, devices, transport, first‑year one‑time charges) are billed separately.
