Uniform charges (annual, by grade)
- KG1 – Grade 5: AED 450 per student per year.
- Grade 6 – Grade 12: AED 600 per student per year.

Application / registration fee
- A one‑time registration / seat‑reservation charge is required at admission; no fixed, published single amount is provided in the school's publicly posted fee schedule. The registration charge is treated as a separate one‑off payment at the point of acceptance.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school's fees are administered on the Sharjah private‑school term structure and are invoiced on a termly basis (three instalments across the academic year). Per‑term invoicing and standard term deadlines are commonly used across Sharjah private schools. Per‑term instalments are therefore the normal billing units for tuition.
- Practical instalment practice in the local market varies: many schools use a three‑term model and either split the annual fee into three equal instalments or apply a 40% / 30% / 30% split (first term larger). Parents should expect termly invoices and typical mid‑year and end‑year due dates.

Boarding / residential provision and related fees
- Emirates National School – Al Nakheelat operates as a day school; there is no published boarding or hostel fee schedule. Where transport is required, a paid bus service is provided to serve Sharjah, Ajman and Dubai routes.

Transport (school bus) fees and other recurring extras
- School bus service is available; transport fees are charged separately from tuition and vary by route and service (zone). The number of buses and route coverage are published as part of the school's services, but specific per‑route fees are not published in the SPEA fee sheet. Expect transport to be an additional annual charge billed separately.
- Other typical recurring charges (charged separately) may include: examination entry fees (CBSE board fees for Grade 10 and Grade 12), optional extracurricular activity fees, meals/canteen charges where used, and any specialist resources or field trips. These items are billed in addition to the tuition+book figure.

Refunds and withdrawal (summary of policy practice)
- Registration/seat‑reservation fees are commonly non‑refundable except in narrowly defined early cancellation windows. Tuition refunds after the academic year begins are normally calculated on a pro‑rata or stepped basis according to the school's refund/withdrawal schedule; books, uniforms and some one‑off items are commonly non‑refundable once issued. Exact refund percentages, notice periods and conditions are set by the school's formal refund and withdrawal policy.

Fee payment options and methods
- Accepted methods commonly used for fee payments include bank transfer, cheque and in‑campus cash or card payments; some schools also provide an online parent‑payment portal or card gateway. For Emirates National School – Al Nakheelat the commonly listed methods are cheque and bank transfer, with online / card options to be confirmed with the school accounts office.

Other practical items and typical ancillary charges
- Textbooks: the published tuition figures are shown as covering tuition plus books (the line item on the approved fee schedule is “Tuition + Book”). Additional resource levies or subject‑specific consumables may still be charged separately.
- Uniform: annual charge shown above; families should budget for the uniform purchase in the admission year and for replacement items thereafter.
- Examination fees: CBSE board exam entry and related administration fees apply for Grades 10 and 12 and are charged in addition to the tuition figures.

Brief note on items not published as fixed amounts
- The SPEA‑approved fee schedule for Emirates National School – Al Nakheelat publishes the grade‑by‑grade “School Fees (Tuition + Book)” and uniform charges shown above. The school does not publish a single fixed application/registration amount, nor fixed transport‑by‑route fees or a detailed per‑term instalment table in the publicly posted fee sheet; those items are billed separately and vary by family choice (for example choice of transport route) or by administrative policy (registration/re‑registration). Parents should expect registration / seat‑reservation charges, variable annual transport fees, exam fees and optional service charges in addition to the tuition+book and uniform amounts listed.

Key citation summary (most directly supporting the figures above)
- Published grade‑by‑grade tuition (labelled “School Fees (Tuition + Book)”) and the uniform charges are listed on the SPEA fee schedule for the school.
- The school's SPEA profile and independent school listings confirm the school's Sharjah (Al Nakheelat) campus, curriculum and that transport is provided and that fees are administered under the local term structure.
- Standard local practice for termly billing, instalment models and typical payment methods in Sharjah private schools is described in independent school‑market guides and fee summaries; these are the basis for the per‑term instalment explanation above.
