Billing schedule and payment terms
- The academic year is organised in three terms (term 1 late August–mid December; term 2 early January–late March; term 3 early April–late June). Typical term dates are published as: Term 1 26 August–15 December; Term 2 4 January–23 March; Term 3 5 April–27 June.
- Payment may be offered as annual lump-sum or as termly instalments; the school's publicly available fee material does not publish a single fixed instalment schedule or a definitive list of accepted payment channels, so schools commonly use either three equal term payments or a 50% / 25% / 25% instalment pattern in practice. Exact instalment percentages, due dates and accepted channels are handled by the school finance office.
Boarding fees
- Boarding / residential accommodation is not listed as part of the school's fee schedule; the school operates as a day school (no boarding fees applicable).
Other costs and optional charges
- Books and uniform: separate charges are published per grade (examples above show the school's published book and uniform amounts; these are billed in addition to—or shown as part of—the total package).
- Transportation: published annual transport fees are region-based: Ajman routes AED 3,000; Sharjah AED 3,500; Umm Al Quwain AED 3,500 (transport services billed separately).
- Extracurricular / activity / exam / trip fees: participation costs for some activities, external exam fees and some trips are charged separately and are not included in the standard tuition/package totals.
Refund information
- The registration fee (AED 500) is shown as non-refundable in the school's published fee materials. Other refund rules for tuition, books, transport or activity charges are not published in detail; the school's finance and admissions materials handle specific refund and withdrawal calculations and timing.
Fee payment options (typical channels and practice)
- The school accepts online registration and issues fee statements via its admissions/finance office; the school's public fee listings do not contain a definitive list of accepted payment channels. Practices commonly used across Ajman private schools include bank transfer, credit/debit card payment and the use of post‑dated cheques for instalments; the specific channels and any merchant/card processing arrangements are confirmed by the school's finance office when paying.
Discounts and concessions
- Sibling discount schedule is published as follows: 2nd child 10%; 3rd child 10%; 4th child 5%; 5th child 5%; 6th child 5%.
Note: The fee table and ancillary charges above reflect the school's published per-grade fee rows (annual tuition, books and uniform, transport bands, registration fee and sibling discounts). Where the school's public materials do not specify a single, mandatory instalment pattern or an exhaustive list of payment channels, two common instalment patterns are shown above (three equal terms or 50/25/25) and per-term amounts have been calculated from the published annual tuition to provide clear per-term figures for each year group.
