Per-term detail and how to interpret the annual figures

- The figures published for each campus are presented as annual tuition amounts. The school publishes annual tuition by campus and stage; per-term amounts are not listed explicitly in the public campus listings and depend on the billing structure the school applies for a given academic year (number of instalments/terms and whether the annual amount is split). To calculate a per-term figure you must divide the stated annual tuition by the number of terms/installments used by that campus in the relevant year.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Published campus listings show annual tuition amounts; payment timing and instalment options are arranged with the school. Accepted payment channels reported across campus listings include bank transfer to the school account, electronic payment, credit card and cash. Financing or monthly instalment services are offered through third-party financing platforms on the school booking channels. Parents are required to complete registration and provide proof of tuition payment as part of finalising enrollment. Specific billing deadlines, instalment plans and penalties for late payment are set by each campus and are applied at the time of registration/contract.

Boarding and accommodation fees

- Al Motaqadimah International Schools campuses operate as day schools; no boarding accommodation or boarding fees are listed for the campuses reviewed. Transportation (school bus) is provided as a separate service where available and carries an additional charge determined per route.

Other costs and additional charges

- Transport: School transport is offered at campuses that list it; transport fees are charged separately and vary by route and campus. Parents are advised that transport is an additional cost on top of tuition.

- Books, learning materials and activities: Listings indicate that books, consumable learning materials, and some extracurricular activities are normally charged in addition to the published tuition; the campus cost calculator tools referenced on campus pages treat transport, books and activities as additional items. Exact prices for textbooks, workbooks, activity fees and optional clubs are set by each campus at registration.

- Uniforms and supplies: Uniform prices and supply lists are handled at campus level; uniform purchase is typically a separate cost charged at or before the start of term. (No uniform price schedule is published in the campus listings reviewed.)

- Examination, assessment or external accreditation fees: If applicable (for example for external examination or international programme fees), these are charged separately by campus as required; no single, campus-wide amount is publicly listed.

Refund information

- No campus-level refundable/repayable fee schedule (for registration deposits, seat-holding payments or tuition refunds upon withdrawal) is publicly published in the listings and registration portal documents reviewed. Refund eligibility, the timing and the amounts (for example whether any registration or seat-holding fee is non-refundable, or whether a prorated refund is applied if a student withdraws before the term ends) are determined by policy at the campus at the time of enrollment. Parents must obtain the campus refund/withdrawal terms in writing when completing registration.

Fee payment options

- Reported payment methods across campuses include: bank transfer to the school's account, electronic payments via the school's payment systems, credit card payments and cash payments at the school office. Third-party financing/installment services are available through booking platforms that work with the school. Payment method availability and any associated processing fees are managed per campus and per academic year.

Short note on available public data and next steps

- Public campus listings provide annual tuition amounts by campus and stage (examples above). Application/registration fee amounts, explicit per-term billing schedules, published refund rules and detailed itemised charges for uniforms, books and transport are not posted as fixed figures on the public listings or the school registration portal for the campuses reviewed. For a definitive, itemised fee schedule by campus and for the 2026/27 academic year (or the latest available academic year), obtain the campus-specific fee schedule and the written financial policy that will be issued at registration.
