Introduction

I can help with a concise, prospective-parent oriented overview, focusing on the curricula you provided for American School Dhahran. Please confirm the current offerings before I finalize the text. If ASD indeed provides the American Curriculum, the IB Diploma Programme, and AP courses, I will craft the 150-word description to highlight how these pathways are integrated, the progression from early years through graduation, and how students access college admissions support. I will also note any distinctive program or initiative that ASD publicly emphasizes, once confirmed.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Families may pay the full annual tuition in one payment or use the school's installment option that issues separate invoices aligned to the school terms (commonly three invoices). An installment‑plan administration fee applies when selecting the installment option. Installment invoices are payable in advance of each term.
- VAT (15%) is applied to tuition and applicable fees for non‑Saudi families; Saudi nationals are not charged VAT on tuition.
- Installment invoices remain payable in full according to the invoicing schedule even if a student withdraws mid‑year (the installment plan is not pro‑rata for mid‑year withdrawal). A seat reservation/re‑enrolment deposit is required to hold a place for the following year and is typically deducted from the first invoice.

Boarding fees

- No boarding provision is listed for American School Dhahran. There are no published boarding or residential fees. Students attend as day pupils.

Other costs and recurring charges

- School uniform: Uniform is mandatory and purchased separately from the school's authorized vendor. Uniform costs are charged by the vendor and are not included in the tuition figures.
- Transport (school bus): School transport is charged separately when offered; families should budget separately for bus service (amounts vary by route and provider).
- Meals, textbooks, resources and co‑curricular charges: Catering, exam registration fees (IB/AP/other external examinations), certain trips, and some extracurricular activities are charged in addition to tuition where applicable. These extras are billed separately.
- Acceptance / development contributions and deposits: A non‑refundable acceptance/enrolment deposit and occasional development or capital charges may apply at admission or re‑enrolment and are deducted from initial fees or first invoice as stated by the finance office.

Refund information

- The application fee is non‑refundable. Other one‑time admission/enrolment fees and the seat reservation deposit are typically non‑refundable. Installment invoices remain payable according to the published invoicing schedule; selecting the installment option does not convert invoices to a pro‑rata refund if a student leaves mid‑term. Specific prorating and formal refund policies are administered by the school finance office.

Fee payment options

- Bank transfer to the school's Saudi bank account is the standard payment route; the school issues official invoice and bank details for transfers. In some cases cash or card payments may be accepted at the finance office but bank transfer is the typical method used for tuition payments. For installment plans there is an administration fee (charged once when choosing the plan).
