Fees
Annual tuition at Port Said International Schools ranges from EGP 10 to EGP 11 for 2026/27.
Application fees - No separate, current application or registration fee schedule was published on the school's public admission pages for the 2026/27 academic year.
Tuition fees (annual figures and by year group) - Most recent public, school-specific line-item tuition figures located in third‑party school directory records are older/historical and should be treated as indicative. A directory listing captured a grade-by-grade annual schedule for the language (national) section that showed (2017/2018 figures): - KG1: EGP 10,866. - KG2: EGP 10,736. - Primary 1–3: approx. EGP 11,313 each (Primary 4–6 and preparatory ranged ~EGP 11,779–12,361 depending on grade). - Transportation (language system): EGP 1,600 (annual). - A separate independent school directory lists a current ‘‘fees start from'' figure for Port Said International School of EGP 14,857 (this is a single summary figure indicating the lower bound shown by that directory and does not give a full grade-by-grade breakdown). - No official 2026/27 per‑grade or per‑term tuition schedule was published on the school's tuition pages for either the National (language) or the American sections. The school's published tuition pages are shown as “Coming Soon.”
Tuition per term / term breakdown - The school has not published an official per‑term breakdown for 2026/27. Where only annual sums are available in public records, parents commonly divide the annual total into three term payments for budgeting, but any per‑term invoice amounts and due dates must be taken from the school's official fee statement for the relevant year. (No per‑term schedule was found on the school's tuition pages.)
Billing schedule and payment terms - The school's public pages do not include a published billing schedule, installment plan, or late‑payment penalty schedule for 2026/27. Parents should expect standard private‑school practice in the local market where schools issue invoices for the full year and/or by term and may require a deposit or the first installment to secure a place; however, no Port Said International Schools (PIS)–specific billing timetable or installment percentages were publicly posted for 2026/27.
Boarding fees (if applicable) - No boarding program or boarding fees are listed on the school's published pages. Port Said International Schools is presented as a day‑school provision (National and American sections) in the school materials accessed. No boarding fee schedule was found.
Other costs and fees (uniform, transport, exams, etc.) - Transport (historical / language system): EGP 1,600 (annual) in available directory records; the American system transport figure was listed at EGP 2,100 in the same record set. These transport figures were part of an older public directory listing and should be treated as historical/indicative. - Uniform: the school has a «School Uniform» page in its campus life menu, but no public uniform price list for 2026/27 was published on the school pages accessed. - Exam and miscellaneous fees: no current itemised schedule for exam fees, book fees, insurance, or extracurricular charge items for 2026/27 was published on the school's tuition pages.
Refund information - No PIS‑specific refund or withdrawal policy for the 2026/27 academic year was published on the school's tuition or admissions pages. As a general point, private and international schools in Egypt commonly apply deductions depending on the timing of withdrawal (for example, many institutions publish a sliding refund scale linked to whether withdrawal occurs before the academic year commences, within the first month, etc.), but no Port Said International Schools policy text for 2026/27 was posted on the school pages that were inspected.
Fee payment options - The school's public tuition and admissions pages inspected did not publish a detailed list of accepted payment methods (bank account details, card acceptance, or online payment gateway) for 2026/27. The school lists contact telephone numbers for enquiries which parents can use to confirm payment channels and obtain bank details or invoice information.
Context on permitted annual increases - Egyptian Ministry of Education guidance and recent national measures determine the permitted annual percentage increases for private and international school fees by fee band; this affects likely year‑to‑year increases. That national guidance sets graduated caps on permitted increases depending on the fee level. Use the Ministry's published banding as context when estimating possible 2026/27 changes to prior published fees.
Summary of available figures for database entry (use factual labels and citation references) - Indicative/summary annual tuition lower bound (directory summary): EGP 14,857 (directory summary figure). - Historical grade‑level annual figures from a public directory (grade examples): KG1 EGP 10,866; KG2 EGP 10,736; Primary 1–3 approx. EGP 11,313; Primary/Prep grades up to approx. EGP 12,361; Transport (language) EGP 1,600; Transport (American) EGP 2,100. These figures are from a publicly archived directory listing and are not an official 2026/27 fee schedule.
Important note on data currency and next steps (brief) - The school's own tuition and admissions pages for both the National and American sections are marked “Coming Soon” for tuition/bus details and do not display an official 2026/27 fee schedule; the items above reflect the most recent publicly available directory or historical figures located during the search and relevant national guidance on permitted increases. For any formal database record that requires an official 2026/27 fee schedule (per‑grade and per‑term amounts, official payment methods, and refund terms), the school's published fee schedule or finance office invoice is the authoritative statement.
