- Grade 1–6: EGP 143,500 per year.
- Grade 7–10: EGP 173,366 per year.

Per-term illustration (school instalment structure is not published publicly; the figures below show equal divisions of the annual fee for parents who wish to view a per-term equivalent):

- KG 1–2: EGP 114,000 per year — equivalent to EGP 38,000 per term if split evenly into 3 terms.
- Grade 1–6: EGP 143,500 per year — equivalent to EGP 47,833 per term if split evenly into 3 terms.
- Grade 7–10: EGP 173,366 per year — equivalent to EGP 57,789 per term if split evenly into 3 terms.

(These per-term figures are simple equal-division examples; no official public schedule of terms/instalments is published on the school's public documents.)

Billing schedule and payment terms

- A place is reserved once the required fees for admission/registration are paid at acceptance. Specific published billing schedules (number of instalments, exact due dates, late-payment penalties and re-enrolment fee amounts) are not available in the school's public documents.

Boarding fees

- The International School of Choueifat – Cairo is a day school; no boarding programme or boarding fees apply.

Other costs and typical additional fees

- Bus / transportation: reported range EGP 24,000–34,000 per year depending on route/distance.
- Books and learning materials: reported primary-stage book fees range roughly EGP 8,000–21,200 (varies by grade and programme).
- Uniforms, school supplies, extracurricular activities and examination fees (IGCSE/AS/A-Level/AP/standardised tests) are charged in addition to tuition; specific uniform and activity-price lists are not published in public downloads.
- Example breakdowns published by third-party school directories also record bus and registration fees reported in USD (e.g., bus ≈ US$1,050 and registration ≈ US$750 in directory listings). These figures have been reported by independent directories and listings.

Refunds and cancellations

- No detailed, publicly posted refund policy for tuition, registration or bus fees was found in the school's public documents. The school's admissions notes indicate that a place is reserved only after required fees have been paid; the formal terms and conditions document states the school may update terms and that information on the site is subject to change, but it does not publish a specific tuition-refund schedule in available public documents. Parents should be aware that a paid seat is considered reserved upon payment.

Fee payment options

- The school's public pages and downloadable documents do not publish a detailed list of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit/debit card, online payment gateway). The terms and admissions pages provide contact addresses for the school's administration and accounting enquiries but do not list explicit payment channel options in publicly available downloads.

For this reason, per-term amounts above are presented as equal-division illustrations only (the school's official instalment counts and dates were not located in public materials).
