If the application is successful and a place is available, a letter of offer will be issued. The offer will remain valid for 5 days. To secure the offered place, a deposit of 10% of the annual school fees for the relevant year group must be paid within 5 days.
To secure a place for the following academic year, parents will be required to pay a re-registration deposit of 5% of the annual school fees.

Required by law
Transfer Certificates and Withdrawals.
Parents wishing to transfer their child to another school or withdraw from the school must submit a formal Transfer Certificate (TC) or withdrawal request. In accordance with KHDA regulatory requirements, fee calculations are based on the date the formal withdrawal request is submitted rather than the student's last day of attendance. Where a future withdrawal date has been agreed and the student continues attending school, the applicable leaving date will be used for fee calculation purposes based on KHDA’s approved fee refund and prorate billing policy.
The Parents must give written notice to the Registrar of any withdrawal. The Registration Deposit is refundable if notice is provided at least sixty (60) calendar days before the year starts and non-refundable if less than sixty (60) calendar days’ notice is provided. School fees will be refunded in accordance with the applicable KHDA Registration and Refund Policy, available at: KHDA_Parent_Guide_School_ENG
