Per-term amounts (billing frequency and how per-term figures are derived) - The school's published communications refer to semester billing (re-enrolment amounts are deducted from the first-semester invoice and the school refers to first and second semester payments). Based on that semester structure, the per-semester amount can be calculated by dividing the annual tuition above by two; the per-semester figures below are therefore calculated estimates, not separately published line items. - Example (calculated): Kindergarten 1 QAR 27,450 per year → QAR 13,725 per semester (annual ÷ 2). - Use the annual figures above as the official published annual amounts; the per-semester numbers shown in this section are derived by splitting those annual amounts across two semesters because school correspondence and re‑enrolment procedures reference two semesters.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Re-enrolment (seat reservation) is charged and will be deducted from the first-semester invoice for the approved academic year; re-enrolment is not accepted unless prior semester payments are cleared. Invoices for semester fees are enforced in accordance with that semester timetable. Late or outstanding prior-semester accounts must be cleared before re-enrolment is accepted. - The school provides an online card payment facility (QNB / Fatora) that issues an invoice link by SMS/email; payments by Visa and MasterCard (credit or debit) can be processed via that platform. Confirmation of payment is sent by SMS/email. Cash payments can be made at the Accounts office during school working hours. The school also supports the Ta'allum mobile app for fee payment and re-enrolment. Contact for the finance team: paygirls@amag.com.qa and the Accounts phone numbers listed in school communications. - The school's published documents require that outstanding fees for prior semesters be cleared before a seat is confirmed for the next academic year and indicate that the re-enrolment amount is deducted from the first-semester invoice.
Boarding fees - No boarding provision or boarding fees are listed for Al Maha Academy for Girls; the academy operates as a day school for Early Years, Primary and Secondary levels. There is no published boarding fee schedule.
Other costs and typical additional charges - Uniform: The school operates an on‑campus uniform shop (open daily except Friday); uniform payment may be accepted by card at the shop and cash payments are accepted via the Accounts office during school hours. Specific uniform pricing is not published in the school's public notices. - Consumables / books / resource fees: the school publishes a fees policy document that covers tuition and associated charges; some year groups commonly incur book, resources or consumables charges in addition to tuition. Specific resource/book fees for each year group were not listed in the publicly visible pages accessed; those charges are typically shown on the official tuition/fees policy or the student invoice. - Examination, external exam, or exam-board fees (where applicable for IGCSE/A-level/IAS) may be charged separately for Years 10–12; such exam fees are normally invoiced in addition to tuition where relevant to a student's programme. Specific exam-fee amounts are not listed on the public pages reviewed.
Refund information - Re‑enrolment amounts are applied against the first-semester invoice; the school's formal tuition and refund rules are set out in its Tuition Fee Policies document. The re-enrolment communication confirms deduction from the first-semester fee but does not publish a full refund schedule in the public notices accessed. The school's downloadable fees policy and related documents provide the detailed refund and cancellation terms.
Fee payment options and channels - Online card payments via the QNB / Fatora payment platform (Visa and MasterCard credit and debit cards). Payment links are issued by SMS/email for invoice settlement and confirmation messages are sent on completion. - Cash payments at the Accounts office during school working hours. - Payments and re‑enrolment can also be handled through the Ta'allum Group mobile app referenced in school communications. Contact emails and phone numbers for the Accounts/Finance team are provided in school letters.
Notes and important points for parents - The annual tuition amounts listed above are the published annual charges for the 2025–2026 academic year; re-enrolment and registration administration charges are additional one-off items for new and returning students. - Per‑semester figures shown in this overview are calculated by dividing the published annual tuition by two because school communications reference first and second semester billing; those per‑semester figures are therefore estimates derived from the published annual totals. - For invoice follow-up and fee-payment queries contact the school's finance/accounts team (emails and phone numbers are provided in the school's parent letters and payment communications).
