- Bus fees for the full year: one-way SAR 3,450; two-way (round trip) SAR 4,600. Bus fees can be paid in three installments. Transport fees are charged for the full year and VAT treatment is noted in the school financial policy.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is billed in two installments (first term and second term). First-term fees must be paid in full before students receive books, uniforms, or access to classes; failure to pay by the due date can result in suspension of services, withholding of reports, and cancellation of discounts. Second-term charges for newly enrolled students may differ because of seat-preparation, books, and uniform costs. Parents must complete financial clearance and submit the full student file to reserve a seat.

What is included in tuition and other mandatory items
- Tuition includes school textbooks and one set of school uniform pieces according to grade-level policy. The school provides electronic versions of textbooks and workbooks; printing optional extra materials is the parent's responsibility. There is no separate uniform charge included in addition to tuition; however, if parents purchase uniforms outside the designated channel, there will be no reimbursement.

Other costs, discounts, and special offers
- A special opening discount of SAR 2,000 is available at the Jeddah branch only (applies to all grades).
- Sibling discounts: a 5% discount applies for the second through fourth youngest sibling and a 10% discount applies for the fifth sibling, subject to the school's discount conditions (payment timing requirements). To qualify, payment must be made before the end of the first week of the term.

Refunds and withdrawal charges
- The SAR 3,000 seat reservation deposit is refundable until the day before the start of the academic term. No tuition refunds are issued beginning the third week of the term. If a student is withdrawn within the first week of the school start date, the tuition refund will be processed after deducting SAR 3,000 plus an additional SAR 2,500 for books and uniforms. If a student is withdrawn at the beginning of the second week, 20% of the total tuition will be deducted plus the SAR 3,000 reservation fee and an additional SAR 2,500 for books and uniforms. Transportation fees are non-refundable after the first week of subscription. School uniforms and books are not refundable. Fees for a full term will apply when a student fails to attend without submitting an official withdrawal request via the parent portal or the admissions email.

Fee payment options and bank details
- Accepted payment methods: cash at the school financial department; credit card (Visa or MasterCard); debit card (MADA); personal cheques payable to Ajialuna Educational Company; and bank/wire transfer to campus-specific bank accounts. For wire transfers, a copy of the wire transfer and the student ID must be emailed to the finance contact for the campus. Bank account details are provided by the school for each campus (Arab National Bank for Al Izdihar; Saudi Investment Bank for Al Rakkah; Riyad Bank for Al Qirawan and Jeddah campus) and the school instructs parents to send transfer confirmations to the campus payment email addresses.

Boarding
- Boarding is not listed or charged; the school provides day schooling with optional transport services but no boarding fees are published.

Payment-related conditions and consequences
- Students who have not settled tuition for the previous year will be removed from rosters and will not advance to the next level. The school may suspend access to report cards, electronic services, and records until tuition is paid. Not paying the seat reservation fee does not constitute an official withdrawal; outstanding fees will remain due and the student's file will not be released until all fees are cleared.
