Application / Admission fee
- No publicly posted, itemised application or one-off admission fee amount was available in the school's published 2025–2026 enrollment materials. Parents should expect that a non‑refundable application or admission charge may exist and that payment is typically required at enrollment; the school's admissions materials and student handbook describe the admissions steps but do not list a specific fee amount.

Tuition fees by year group (annual amounts)
- Pre‑K (half‑day): USD 7,300.
- Pre‑K (full‑day): USD 8,800.
- Grades K–12 (annual): USD 25,000.

Note: per‑term (installment) breakdowns for these tuition figures were not published in the school materials accessible for 2025–2026; the annual figures above are the published annual amounts.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Lunch program: payments are made in advance on a monthly basis; lunch payments can be made in cash or by card (Visa, MasterCard) at the school office. Company payments for lunches may be paid by wire transfer for a minimum of five months at a time.
- Bus/transportation: the annual transportation fee is USD 2,200. The transportation fee may be paid for the whole year, by term, or by month (the school describes this service as flexible).
- Withdrawal and outstanding balances: families are required to give written notice when withdrawing a student (two weeks' notice is requested). Final school records, transcripts and diplomas will not be released while tuition or other school charges remain outstanding.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not offered. Almaty International School operates as a day school; no boarding fee schedule is published.

Other costs and recurring charges
- Lunch: KZT 2,400 per day (monthly payment required); snack (where offered) KZT 420 per day. Payments accepted in cash or by card (Visa, MasterCard) at the school office; company payments by wire transfer are accepted for multi‑month prepayment.
- Summer camp: Intensive English Camp KZT 75,000 per week (9:00–13:00); Summer Fun Camp KZT 70,000 per week (9:00–16:00) with an optional additional weekly KZT 22,000 to include snack and lunch.
- Transportation: annual fee USD 2,200 (see billing schedule entry above).
- Examination fees: externally graded exams (for example AP exams) incur additional exam fees charged to students.
- Items explicitly noted as not included in standard tuition: sports uniforms, books, voluntary trip fees (field trips), campus spirit shop and student centre charges, lunch (unless purchased), week‑without‑walls trips, and summer camp.
- Sibling discounts or other concessions: no specific public schedule for sibling discounts or fee waivers was published in the materials reviewed.

Refund information and early withdrawal
- Withdrawal procedure: the school requests two weeks' written notice of withdrawal. Credit for work and issuance of records follow the school's academic and administrative policy; families with outstanding tuition or other unpaid charges will not receive final documentation until accounts are cleared. The student handbook and admissions material set out withdrawal steps but do not publish a separate, detailed refundable / prorated tuition refund table in the publicly available 2025–2026 packet.

Fee payment options (methods explicitly stated)
- Lunch payments: cash or card (Visa, MasterCard) in the school office; company payments by wire transfer (in KZT) are accepted for multi‑month prepayments.
- Transportation payments: described as payable annually, by term, or by month; specific payment methods for the transportation fee are not itemised on the transportation page.
- General tuition and other school charges: the school's publicly available admissions and student handbook materials do not publish a full list of accepted payment methods for tuition (for example, card, bank transfer details or online payment portal). For payments related to the lunch program, the school accepts Visa and MasterCard; parents should coordinate directly with the school finance office for tuition payment methods and bank details.

Concise summary of findings and outstanding items
- Confirmed and published items (2025–2026 materials): annual tuition headline figures (Pre‑K and K–12), the annual transportation fee (USD 2,200), lunch pricing and payment methods, summer camp weekly fees, and the list of charges that are not included in tuition.
- Not published in the publicly available 2025–2026 enrollment materials reviewed: an itemised application/admission fee amount; a per‑term tuition breakdown (exact term instalment amounts derived from the annual fee); a detailed tuition payment policy listing all accepted payment channels for tuition (full bank details, online portal or card processing for tuition); and a formal, published refund/proration table for early withdrawal. These items were therefore not available to set out as fixed figures or formal policy text in this summary.

If you require the specific per‑term tuition instalments, an exact application/admission fee amount, or the school's bank details and formal refund/proration table for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 year, those items will need to be obtained from the school's admissions or finance office; the school's admissions page, student‑parent handbook and service pages are the documents consulted for this summary.
