- The school's academic calendar lists the 2026–2027 key dates and term breaks; no per-term tuition schedule or fixed number of billing installments is published. As a result, no official per-term tuition amounts (for example, per semester or per term) are available in the public materials.

After‑school / extended day fees
- After‑School Program: USD 3,500 per year. This program includes a 7:30 am drop-off option and runs until 6:00 pm.

Boarding
- Boarding fees: Not applicable. Hiba Academy Bay Area operates as a day school (published school hours and an after‑school program are provided; no boarding program or boarding fees are published).

Other recurring or likely additional costs
- Uniform: Students are required to wear a uniform; no uniform price list or mandatory uniform fee is published.
- Lunch: Most children bring packed lunches; an outside lunch option will be available (no published price).
- Incidental, optional and program fees (examples that are not listed with amounts in public materials): field trips, specialty classes, extra-curricular clubs beyond the included After‑School Program, supplies, and any optional vendor-provided services. No fixed public pricing for these items is published.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The publicly posted information specifies a USD 4,000 tuition deposit due at enrollment and that families confirm enrollment by signing a contract and submitting the deposit (families are given a short confirmation window once an offer is made). The school does not publish a detailed billing schedule (for example, number of installments per year, exact due dates for term payments, late-payment penalties, or finance charges) in the publicly posted tuition and admissions materials.

Refund information
- The published materials indicate the tuition deposit is credited toward tuition. No complete refund policy, pro‑rata tuition refund schedule, or explicit statements about which fees (application fee, enrollment fee, deposit) are refundable or non-refundable under specific withdrawal or dismissal scenarios are published in the publicly available tuition and admissions pages.

Fee payment options
- The publicly available materials do not list accepted payment methods (for example, credit card, ACH/bank transfer, check, or wire). No published details about transaction fees, online payment portals, or payment plan providers appear in the posted tuition and admissions pages.
