Tuition Fees

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 DIPS – G under the guidance of KHDA established School Fee Framework.

An application fee of AED 525 (Application – AED500/-, VAT- AED 25/-) is due at the time of application. This fee is:

• Refundable if the school does not offer the student a place. Unless the child’s registration is carried forward to the following academic year.
• Non-refundable if the school offers the student a place but the student chooses not to take it.
• Not deductible from the tuition fees if the student is offered and accepts a place.

This deposit is payable after the student has been offered a place and parents have accepted the offer. The registration deposit is 10% of the total tuition fees and is deductible from the total tuition fees for the academic year.  Please note, this is a non-refundable deposit.

• 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 the date when the student was absent.  Being on the school register counts as days in school.
• Monies will be refunded via cheque.

All students withdrawing from the school must submit notification of their withdrawal in writing to the Registrar office. A 30-day notification period is required to ensure all necessary documents are ready.

Parents should note that even if their employer does provide education benefits, the company may not be considered a “Company Pay” account for Dubai International School – Garhoud. Parents should check with the Registration Office to inquire about their employer’s status. Parents may have to pay the tuition first and then be reimbursed from their employer, which may have financial implications for families new to Dubai.

Parent Pay Accounts Payment invoices and receipts cannot be split between the parent and the sponsoring company. If a company’s policy does not provide for full payment of school fees, the student account will be shown as a parent pay in the school’s records. This requires parents to pay the registration fee, tuition for the current semester upon initial enrollment and before class attendance. Parents would then seek reimbursement from their company.

Companies and organizations that have a current account with Dubai International School – Garhoud is requested to provide parents of new students a letter stating that the company will be responsible for payment of tuition and fees. These companies are then required to pay the application fee, tuition for the current semester within 30 days of the date the new student is accepted for enrollment.
