Per‑term breakdown / billing schedule and payment terms
- No published per‑term fee breakdown or a detailed billing schedule (dates, number of instalments, penalties for late payment) was available in the sources reviewed. The tuition figures above are presented as annual totals.

Boarding / residential fees
- No boarding provision is listed; the school operates as a day school and only transportation (bus) services are referenced. Boarding fees are therefore not applicable.

Transport (bus) fees and other regular costs
- School bus (transport) fees: approximately EGP 30,000 for the nearest areas; for more distant routes the range reported is EGP 32,000–35,000. (Amounts are presented as annual bus fees.)

Uniforms, books and other incidental charges
- Uniforms are available for purchase via the school's administration / reception.
- For most year groups, textbook and many activity costs are included in the annual tuition; kindergarten (early years) is noted as not having book charges.

Refunds / cancellation and retention of fees
- No comprehensive publicly published refund policy (refunds on registration, tuition refunds for early withdrawal, or terms for partial refunds) was found in the material reviewed. Specific refund terms (if any) are not published in the available listings.

Fee payment options and invoicing
- No explicit, current listing of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit card, local currency / foreign currency arrangements) was published in the sources consulted. The available listings provide annual fee amounts and incidental charges but do not specify the school's accepted payment channels or invoice timing.

Other routine charges and concessions
- Reported concessions or sibling discounts were not published in the sources consulted. Additional occasional charges (special trips, optional extracurricular fees) may be levied separately; these were not itemised in the fee summaries located.

Summary of remaining gaps in published fee information
- The sources reviewed publish annual tuition by year group and list registration, assessment/exam and bus fees, but do not publish a per‑term fee split, a formal billing schedule (dates and instalment options), a detailed refund/cancellation policy, or the school's accepted payment methods. Where exact per‑term amounts, payment methods, or refund conditions are required, those items were not available in the public fee listings consulted.
