Enrolment and application-related fees
- Application fee: an application fee is payable at the time of online registration (amount not stated here). The application fee is refundable only if a place is not offered; it is non-refundable if a place is offered and declined.
- Registration deposit (new students): a registration deposit equal to 10% of the total tuition fee is due on acceptance of the offer. This admission/registration deposit is non-refundable but is adjustable against the total tuition fee for the academic year.
- Re-registration deposit (current students): a re-registration deposit equal to 5% of the total tuition fee is payable at re-enrolment to guarantee a place for the next academic year. This deposit is non-refundable but deductible from the tuition fees for the academic year.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is collected in three instalments and is payable in advance of attendance at the start of each term. The standard instalment split is: 40% of the annual tuition (first term), 30% (second term), and 30% (third term). Tuition is invoiced from the time of admission. Failure to pay fees may result in loss of place, withholding of reports/references/examination results, or exclusion.
- Tuition and other fees are payable in the currency stated on invoices (AED). Additional invoicing may occur for items charged separately (see “Other costs” below).
Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable; the school operates as a day school. No boarding fees apply.
Other costs and additional fees
- Uniforms: full uniform is compulsory and is purchased separately (available through designated suppliers and the school's approved uniform supplier). Uniform costs are additional to tuition and are paid outside the tuition invoice.
- Educational visits, examinations, transport and learning-support costs: these items are invoiced separately in addition to tuition where relevant (for example, transport fees, examination entry fees, educational trip costs, and individual learning support where identified). Extra-curricular activity or specialist provision fees may also apply depending on participation.
Refund policy and withdrawals
- Registration and re-registration deposits are not refunded except in extenuating circumstances (for example relocation to another emirate/country or other exceptional reasons). The application fee is refundable only if no place is offered; it is non-refundable if a place is offered but not taken. Refunds for tuition already paid are calculated on the basis set out by the school: tuition paid prior to the start of a term may be refundable subject to deductions (application / re-registration fees), and deductions apply depending on the length of attendance if withdrawal occurs after term start (for example, a month's fee or two months' fee deductions depending on length of enrolment; full term fees may be deducted if enrolled for more than a month). The refund is calculated from the start of the term and the date of the official written withdrawal request. If paid by card or online, refunds are returned to the card; cash payments are refunded by cheque. A 30-day written notification of withdrawal is required.
Fee payment options and methods
- Accepted payment methods include payments in person at the accounts office, bank transfer to the College bank account, and online payment via the College's online payment system. Credit card payments are accepted through the online/payment channels; the school also participates in a FAB GEMS World Credit Card promotion for advance annual fee payment. Payment and refund methods follow the school's stated processes.
Notes
- Tuition is payable termly and in advance; instalment amounts for each term are shown above. Additional fees (uniform, transport, exam entries, educational visits, learning support) are charged separately when applicable.
