Other costs and mandatory charges

- Additional mandatory or one‑off charges commonly applied across GEMS schools include: school ID card, school diary, annual activity fees (KG and Years 1–5 examples), examination fees where relevant, and a re‑registration deposit for returning students (commonly 5% of the annual fee when re‑enrolling). Specific items and amounts vary by school and year group.
- Typical extras that families should budget for include: school uniform, transport (bus) services, optional extracurricular clubs, specialist equipment or materials for certain subjects, and examination or external assessment fees. Exact charges for uniform, transport routes and extracurricular activities are set separately and applied in addition to tuition.

Refunds and withdrawal terms

- Refunds and the calculation of refundable amounts follow published GEMS fee policies: application fees are refundable if the school does not offer a place (unless the application is carried forward); registration deposits are normally non‑refundable except in extenuating circumstances such as relocation; tuition refunds for withdrawals are calculated according to the length of enrolment with staged deductions (examples used across GEMS: tuition paid prior to the academic year may be refundable less registration/re‑registration fees; shorter enrolments incur deductions of one or more months' fees depending on time on roll). Refund rules and the required written withdrawal notice period are applied in line with KHDA and GEMS payment policies.

Fee payment options

- Accepted payment methods across GEMS schools include in‑person payments at the school accounts office, bank/wire transfer, cheque and card payments. Credit card payment facilities are commonly available; some GEMS partner cards or promotions (for example, GEMS World/FAB card offers) may provide payment benefits.
