Application / Seat reservation fee

- A non‑refundable‑until‑start reservation deposit of SAR 2,000 is required to reserve a place; this amount is deducted from the annual tuition after registration. Refund rules for the reservation deposit and tuition are specified under the school's refund policy.

Tuition fees (annual) by year group

- KG 1 & KG 2: SAR 20,000 per year.
- KG 3: SAR 21,000 per year.
- Grade 1–3: SAR 22,000 per year.
- Grade 4–6: SAR 24,000 per year.
- Grade 7–9: SAR 25,000 per year.

Per‑term / installment amounts

- The school states that tuition is paid in two installments. Dividing the stated annual tuition into two equal installments produces the following installment amounts (this equal split is an inferred calculation based on the school stating payment is "on two installments"; the school page does not show explicit installment amounts).
- KG 1 & KG 2: SAR 10,000 per installment (two installments).
- KG 3: SAR 10,500 per installment (two installments).
- Grade 1–3: SAR 11,000 per installment (two installments).
- Grade 4–6: SAR 12,000 per installment (two installments).
- Grade 7–9: SAR 12,500 per installment (two installments).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- A SAR 2,000 reservation deposit is payable at the time of booking the place and is deducted from the tuition after registration. The deposit is refundable subject to the school's refund policy (refundable only until before the first day of the first term, with additional rules for withdrawals during weeks 1 and 2).
- Tuition is payable in two installments (referred to as first and second installments). The school explicitly states payment on two installments but does not publish exact due dates or whether installments are equal; the per‑installment amounts above are equal‑split inferences.
- Published fees exclude value‑added tax (VAT).

Transport (school bus) fees

- Two‑way school transport: SAR 5,000 per year.
- One‑way school transport: SAR 3,500 per year.
- Transport fees are for the full academic year, exclude VAT, and may be paid in two installments.

Boarding / residential fees

- No boarding or residential provision is listed. Boarding fees are not applicable.

Other costs and fees

- Books and school uniform: there is inconsistent information on the site. The main published fee page states that tuition does not include books and uniform.
- A separate page on uniforms and books states that books and the school uniform are included within the school fees (it notes that one piece of the uniform is included and that payment of the full first‑term fees is required to receive the uniform coupon; books are also described as included and collected from the administration building). This presents a contradiction with the main fee page.
- Any additional optional fees (extracurricular activities, excursions, exams, or special programmes) are not itemised on the published fee page.

Refund information and withdrawal deductions

- If a student withdraws before the academic year starts, the SAR 2,000 reservation deposit is refundable.
- Withdrawal during the first week of term: school tuition is refundable after deducting the SAR 2,000 reservation fee and an additional SAR 3,000 for books and uniform.
- Withdrawal during the beginning of the second week of term: 30% of total tuition is deducted, plus SAR 3,000 for books and uniform.
- No tuition refunds are provided from the third week after the start of classes. Books and uniforms are non‑refundable.

Fee payment options

- Cash payments at the school finance office (Mada bank card accepted).
- Personal cheque payable to Dream International (the company name appears on the fees page).
- Direct bank transfer to the school's bank account (bank details are referenced on the school page).
- The school also publishes that electronic payment options are available through its school platform (Classera) for tuition and other payments.

Notes about sources and currency

- The published fee schedule on the school's site is labelled for the 2024/2025 academic year. No separately published fee schedule for a subsequent academic year (for example 2025/2026) was found on the school site at the time of checking. The amounts above are shown in Saudi Riyals (SAR).

Summary of what was found and limitations: the school's published pages provide clear annual tuition amounts by year group, the SAR 2,000 reservation deposit requirement, transport fees and permitted payment methods, and a separate published refund policy with exact withdrawal deductions. The school states tuition is paid in two installments but does not publish explicit installment due dates or the exact split; the per‑installment figures above are equal‑split calculations based on two installments. The school's fee page and the uniforms/books page contain inconsistent statements about whether books and uniforms are included in tuition; both statements are reported above.

The school describes an international student body with diverse nationalities; a precise breakdown of nationalities and the local-to-international ratio is not publicly disclosed.
