How the per‑term and per‑year figures above were calculated
- The school publishes tuition as monthly charges. The annual figures above are the published monthly rate multiplied by 12. Per‑term figures shown are simple divisions of the annual figure by 3 to provide a common per‑term equivalent for database use; the school bills on a monthly basis in advance.

Sibling concessions / multiple‑child charges
- Published admission/tuition payment percentages for multiple children from the same family are: 1st child = 100% (full), 2nd child = 100% for Bangladeshi / 66.66% for foreign, 3rd child = 75% for Bangladeshi / 50% for foreign, 4th child = 25% for Bangladeshi / 33.33% for foreign. Staff children receive 50% concession. These percentages apply to the tuition/admission charge policy as published.

Lab, transport and other recurring ancillary charges
- Lab charges (applied from Grade XI onwards): SAR 15 per lab type (Physics SAR 15, Chemistry SAR 15, Biology SAR 15, Computer SAR 15) as a published monthly lab charge.
- Transportation: transportation charges are applied and must be paid in advance alongside school fees; the published materials instruct that school fee and transportation charges be paid in advance by the 20th of the current month. Specific route/seat transportation tariff amounts are not published in the publicly available fee chart.
- Uniforms, books, examination entry fees, and activity/extra‑curricular charges are additional costs that are applied to families; specific published monetary values for these items are not shown in the public fee chart. Lab charges for higher grades (see above) and any exam registration charges for Cambridge/IGCSE/A‑level years are charged in addition to tuition where applicable.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition and transportation charges are payable in advance — within the 20th of the current month — and the Accounts Office issues and manages fee collection. A late fee of SAR 1 per day is charged for overdue payments after the 20th; the maximum late fine published is SAR 100. Non‑payment for three successive calendar months may result in the student's name being deleted from the class register and the need to seek readmission, subject to the readmission fee. Fees, once paid, are stated as non‑refundable.

Refunds and cancellations
- The admission fee is explicitly non‑refundable. Published policy states that fees once paid are not refundable. Readmission and related charges apply if a student is removed for non‑payment or withdrawn and later seeks re‑entry.

Boarding / residential provision
- No published boarding or residential provision or boarding fees are listed in the school's public fee materials. No separate boarding fee schedule is published.

Fee payment options (how payments are handled in practice)
- The school's Accounts/Admissions Office handles invoicing and fee collection; published notices and administrative memos refer parents to the Accounts Office for payment details and fee‑clearance queries. The school's public fee chart does not list a specific public menu of accepted payment channels (for example, a published bank account number, a named payment gateway, or explicit credit‑card instructions) in the fee document made available for parents. Parents use the Accounts Office to arrange payment according to the school's billing notices.

Other notes required for accurate billing in your database
- Promotion fee, readmission fee, lab charges (Grade XI+), processing fee, and transportation charges are separate to the monthly tuition and should be recorded as distinct fee lines. The admission fee is a single up‑front, non‑refundable charge and must be recorded per student on first admission. Sibling concession percentages are applied as published and should be modelled into multi‑student family invoicing rules.

Brief note on gaps in public fee materials (for completeness of your database entry)
- The publicly available fee documents publish monthly tuition rates, one‑time admission/processing fees, lab monthly charges for higher grades, sibling concession percentages, and the school's billing timing and late‑fee policy. The public materials do not publish explicit transport fares by route, itemized uniform/book prices, or a set list of accepted payment channels (bank account details, payment gateway links or on‑site card acceptance policy). For those specific line‑items (transport tariff per route, uniform cost, and exact accepted payment methods), the school's Accounts/Admissions Office provides the operative figures on invoicing.
