Refund information
- A school-specific, detailed refund policy is not provided within the published fee schedule or the admissions policy documents. General refund practice in the UAE/Dubai education context typically treats book and uniform charges as non-refundable and calculates refundable tuition/transport on a pro-rata or attendance-based basis under local regulatory frameworks; KHDA/MOE guidance addresses common refund calculation approaches used by private schools in the UAE. The fee schedule for the school makes no separate, detailed refund rules visible in its published admission/fee documents.

Fee payment options
- The published fee schedule and admissions documents for the school do not list specific accepted payment channels (for example: bank transfer, credit card, cheque) within the fee sheet itself. Typical payment channels used by private schools in the UAE include bank transfer, credit/debit card and cheque, but no specific payment-method instructions or bank account details are shown on the fee schedule document. Parents/guardians should plan for the commonly used UAE payment methods when preparing payment.

Notes and clarifications
