Application / Admission Fees
- Admission deposit on enrolment: AED 1,000 per child (payable at school entry).
Annual tuition fees by year group (per child)

Per-term / per half‑year indication (calculated)
- The school publishes annual tuition figures. For budgeting by semester/half‑year, divide the annual tuition by 2 to obtain an approximate half‑year amount (example: Kindergarten AED 36,610 ≈ AED 18,305 per half‑year). This is a straightforward division of the published annual fee to give a per‑half‑year figure.

Payment terms and billing schedule
- The school requires an admission deposit at enrolment and a separate advance payment corresponding to 5% of the next year's annual tuition (as noted above). The published fee information specifies surcharge rates for payment by instalments rather than a single payment:
- Instalment surcharge for 4–6 instalments: 2% of the billed amount.
- Instalment surcharge for 7–10 instalments: 3% of the billed amount.
- Where the school lists per‑half‑year charges (for some services), those amounts indicate a billing cadence that includes half‑year (semester) billing for those specific services; instalment plan options are published for tuition as noted above.
VAT / taxes
- All published fees are stated to include value‑added tax.
Uniforms, meals and school shop
- The school shop supplies required materials and embroidered uniform items (T‑shirts, polo shirts with the GISAD logo). Cash payments are not accepted at the shop; the published information indicates use of the Skiply app for shop payments. Costs for uniforms, materials and school meals vary by item/option and are charged separately.
Refunds and cancellations
- The published fee table lists deposits (admission deposit and book deposit) and other fees, but it does not include a detailed public refund schedule in the fee table document itself. Refunds, partial reimbursements and the specific handling of deposits on withdrawal or early leaving are governed by the school's fee policy and formal school fee guidelines. The fee table notes the book deposit and admission deposit amounts explicitly.
Other routine charges
- Single extracurricular activities, externally provided ECA and holiday course charges are set according to the specific offering and provider; the fee table lists baseline starting prices for school‑run AGs and daily care fees as above.
Accepted payment channels (published references)
- For school shop purchases the published material states that cash is not accepted and the Skiply app is to be used for payments. Instalment billing options for tuition are published (see instalment surcharges above). The fee table does not list an exhaustive set of tuition payment channels (bank transfer, card, etc.) in the fee table PDF; instalment plans and surcharges are explicitly published.
Notes
- The numerical amounts above are the school's published fees for the school year 2025/26 and the fee table is labelled with a publication/stand date. Where amounts are published as annual fees, a simple division by two can be used to estimate a half‑year (per term/semester) figure for budgeting; the school also publishes explicit per‑half‑year charges for several services (for example the full‑day package and supervision options).
