Refund calculations are performed on the basis of KHDA rules and the school's parent‑school contract.
Fee payment options
- Online payments are accepted; schools commonly accept bank transfer and card (credit/debit) payment and may offer online portals for invoice settlement. Refunds made to card or online payments are usually returned to the original payment method where applicable.
