Annual tuition at Modern International School Al-Ahsa ranges from SAR 506 to SAR 575 for 2026/27.

Admission / Application fee

- Admission fee (one‑time, payable at the time of new admission): SAR 862.50 (SAR 750 + 15% VAT).

Tuition fees (by year group)

- Grades 1–5: SAR 529 (SAR 460 + 15% VAT).
- Grades 6–10: SAR 575 (SAR 500 + 15% VAT).

Note on frequency: the published fee schedule displays the amounts above without an explicit label (for example, "monthly" or "per term"). The published values are shown as a base amount plus 15% VAT (for example, 440 + 15% VAT = 506), which is consistent with how periodic tuition is commonly presented; the document itself does not state whether these figures are monthly, termly, or otherwise. Where the schedule does not state frequency, parents should treat the numeric amounts above as the figures published by the school for tuition and confirm billing frequency directly with the school.

Annual / recurring charges

- Annual fee (payable in April every year): SAR 345 (SAR 300 + 15% VAT).
- Sibling discount: 5% discount on tuition for siblings.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Admission fee is payable at the time of new admission. Annual fee is specified as payable in April each year. The published fee document does not specify a detailed semester/term installment schedule, due dates for tuition instalments, late‑payment penalties, or consequences for non‑payment beyond the timing indicated for the annual fee.

Boarding fees

- No boarding fees are listed in the published fee schedule. The school's published fee document lists tuition, the annual fee, and the admission fee only; there is no indication of boarding or residential charges.

Other costs and fees

- The published fee schedule does not itemize uniform costs, transport (bus) charges, books, examination fees, activity fees, or other ancillary charges. Parents should expect that separate charges may apply for uniforms, transport, trips, extra‑curricular activities, exams or learning materials although these are not shown in the available fee document.

Refund information

- The published fee document does not include a refund policy or conditions under which fees may be refunded or prorated. No explicit refund terms or withdrawal penalty information are listed in the available fee schedule.

Fee payment options

- The published fee schedule does not specify accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, credit/debit card, in‑person payment, or online portal). No payment‑method instructions are included in the available fee document.

Brief note on document year and availability of later schedules

- The fee schedule referenced above is published as the school's "New Tuition Fee for the Academic Year 2024–2025." A later academic‑year fee schedule for 2025–2026 or 2026–2027 was not available in the school's public fee disclosure documents accessible at the time of review. The numeric amounts, VAT breakdowns, the annual‑fee timing (April), the admission fee, and the 5% sibling discount are taken from that published fee schedule.
