Per-term detail and how fees are billed
- The school publishes the tuition amounts above as the fee figures for each grade (annual amounts). The school's payment practice requires payment of the first-semester tuition to secure a place at acceptance and requires the remaining balance to be paid prior to the start of the academic year; the school does not publish a fixed per-term split of the annual tuition. Therefore a published per-term amount is not available.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- New applicants: the tuition for the first semester must be paid immediately to secure the student's place.
- Current students: a deposit of SAR 5,000 is required to secure the student's spot; this deposit is credited against the first semester's tuition. The remaining tuition balance is due three weeks before the start of the academic year to receive books and uniforms.
- Receipts and confirmations for virtual-account transfers are issued via the parent portal and in-app/SMS notifications within business days as described by the school.
Boarding fees
- No boarding provision or boarding fees are published. The school operates daytime hours and provides day-school services; boarding is not listed as an offered service.

Tax and price notes

Refund information
- The school does not publish a detailed general tuition refund policy on its public admissions and fees pages. For specific programs (for example some co‑curricular courses), published information states those program fees are non‑refundable and not transferable. For tuition refunds or withdrawal refunds, no comprehensive public policy text is published on the school's fees or admissions pages.
Fee payment options

Notes and important points for parents
- The published tuition figures above are presented as the school's tuition amounts by grade band. The school requires an initial first‑semester payment to confirm a new student's place and a SAR 5,000 deposit (for returning students) credited to the first semester; however, the school does not publish a line‑by‑line term split of the annual tuition on its public fees pages, so a precise per‑term (e.g., semester 1 vs semester 2) numerical breakdown is not available from the published materials.
- Additional optional costs (books, transport, activity fees) apply if those services are selected; uniforms (two sets) are included in the stated tuition. Co‑curricular program fees are shown as non‑refundable where published.
The student body includes pupils from over 60 countries and ages 3 to 18. The exact local-to-international ratio and the most common nationality are not published.
