Tuition Fees

Payment Policies

The tuition fees are due prior to the start of the academic year and payable in advance of attendance, at the start of each term. Tuition fees will be invoiced from the time of admission to ensure that payments can be processed before the start of the term. If your circumstances change, it is essential that you contact us in advance of the deadline so that we can guide you on available options. Please note, all tuition fees are in accordance with the fee structure established by GEMS Education under the guidance of KHDA established School Fee Framework.

These fees are subject to change in accordance with Article 51, Bylaw of Federal Law No. (28) of 1999 Concerning Private Education and applicable regulations.

Payment of Fees

The Application Fee (525 AED including VAT) is payable at the time of the online registration, and is charged to process the application of new students.

If new students enrol at a school during the course of the academic year, the school can charge tuition fees starting from the beginning of the month of enrolment.

Schools can collect annual tuition fees in three instalments, due at the beginning of each term. The first term’s payment will be 40%, the second 30% and the third term30% of annual tuition fees.

Refunds

In the cases of both existing and new students, the registration and re-registration deposit will not be refunded unless there are extenuating circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to relocation to another country/Emirate or any other unforeseen circumstances.

In the case of refund, the school fees will be calculated as follows:

Tuition fees paid prior to the beginning of the academic year are refundable and only the registration / re-registration fees will be deducted.
If the student was enrolled in the school for two weeks or less, a month’s fees will be deducted.
If the student was enrolled in the school for a period ranging between two weeks and one month, two months’ fees will be deducted.
If the student was enrolled in the school for more than a month, the full terms fees will be deducted.
The refund will be calculated from the start of the term and the date of the official request by the parent stating the intent of withdrawal and not from the date when the student was absent. Being on the school register counts as days in school.
All refunds will be processed through cheque only.
