Boarding fees
- Boarding: Not applicable. Capital International Schools is presented as a day school; no boarding fees or boarding provision are published.
Other costs and typical ancillary fees
- Books: The published tuition figures are noted to include book costs in the school's published fee summary. - School bus / transportation: Annual bus fees shown in published material (example amounts published): EGP 39,000 (main campus summary). Separate campus listings show similar bus fees (examples: EGP 35,000 on Lotus campus listings). Parents should expect an annual bus charge if using school transport. - Uniforms, lunch, extra‑curricular activities, examination fees and some assessed tests: these items are commonly charged in addition to tuition at comparable international schools; the school's Lotus campus listings show separate book/resource amounts for particular grades. Where a separate charge is published for a grade (for example book or resource lists), that amount is listed alongside the tuition on campus‑specific notices. Parents should budget for optional services (lunch, extra activities) where applicable.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Academic structure and instalments: The admissions/registration system lists three academic terms (Term 1, Term 2, Term 3). Per‑term amounts above are shown as the annual tuition divided into three equal instalments to reflect the school's three‑term billing framework; the school's online admission form references the three terms. (Per‑term amounts in this summary are calculated from the published annual tuition divided by three.) - Timing and immediate charges: Application and assessment fees are payable at application/registration. Transport and other optional services are typically charged on an annual basis or per term depending on the service; parents selecting transport will incur the annual bus fee.
Refund information
- No published, detailed refund policy for application, registration, tuition or transport charges was located in the school's publicly posted fee summaries for the 2025/2026 academic year. Where a school does publish a refundable deposit or specific refund rules those are normally called out in the terms and conditions or fee schedule; no such itemised refund clause was found in the fee information available for 2025/2026. Parents should treat application and assessment charges as one‑off payments unless otherwise advised in formal acceptance paperwork.
Fee payment options
- Publicly listed payment methods are not itemised in the published fee listings found for 2025/2026. The school operates an online admissions/parent portal (Engage) which indicates an electronic payment and invoicing workflow is in use for applications and registrations; expect standard options such as bank transfer and card payments to be available through the school's finance office or online portal, but the school's published materials do not provide a definitive, itemised list of accepted payment channels. Contact the school's admissions/finance office for confirmed payment methods when completing registration.
Practical notes (brief)
- The figures provided above are the published annual tuition amounts for the 2025/2026 academic year and the one‑off application/evaluation charges shown in the school's published fee summaries. Per‑term amounts shown are calculated by dividing the published annual tuition by three because the school's admissions form lists three academic terms; that calculation is an arithmetic division to present per‑term instalments consistent with the school's three‑term billing framework.
What was not found in the public fee materials
- The publicly available fee information for 2025/2026 did not include a clear, itemised refund policy, detailed payment‑method list (bank account numbers or card merchant details), explicit per‑term invoices/dates, or published late‑payment penalties tied specifically to Capital International Schools. The school's admissions/finance office or formal contract at acceptance normally supplies these operational details; they were not present in the fee summaries located for 2025/2026.
