Payment Policies

The tuition fees are due prior to the start of the academic year and payable in advance of attendance, at the start of each term. Tuition fees will be invoiced from the time of admission to ensure that payments can be processed before the start of the term. If your circumstances change, it is essential that you contact us in advance of the deadline so that we can guide you on available options. Please note, all tuition fees are in accordance with the fee structure established by GEMS Education under the guidance of KHDA established School Fee Framework.

We want all of our GEMS parents to feel informed about academic fees and be able to plan their academic year. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact our team for more information. We are always happy to help at any stage.

In the cases of both existing and new students, the registration and re-registration deposit will not be refunded unless there are extenuating circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to relocation to another country/Emirate or any other unforeseen circumstances.

In the case of refund, the academic fees will be calculated as follows:

Tuition fees paid prior to the beginning of the academic year are refundable and only the registration / re-registration fees will be deducted.
If the student was enroled in the Academy for two weeks or less, a month’s fees will be deducted.
If the student was enroled in the Academy for a period ranging between two weeks and one month, two months’ fees will be deducted.
If the student was enroled in the Academy for more than a month, the full terms fees will be deducted.

The refund will be calculated from the start of the term and the date of the official request by the parent stating the intent of withdrawal and not from the date when the student was absent. Being on the academic register counts as days in the Academy.
