Note on first year total for new entrants: the first year's invoice for a new child includes the one‑time placement and registration fees in addition to the annual tuition and any book fees; for example, a 3‑year‑old's first year total is shown as SAR 23,460 (Placement SAR 500 + Registration SAR 2,500 + Annual tuition SAR 19,855 + Books SAR 605).

Per‑term figures (calculation assumption)

- The published fees above are shown as annual totals. If the annual tuition is billed in three equal termly instalments (a common billing pattern among Jeddah international schools), the per‑term amount can be estimated by dividing the annual tuition by three. This per‑term figure is an inference based on the annual fees and common local practice (termly billing) and is provided only for budgeting convenience; the school does not publish a specific termly timetable on the fee summary used here. Example (illustrative): Grade 1 SAR 23,380 per year → approximately SAR 7,793 per term (SAR 23,380 ÷ 3).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Published fees are presented as annual amounts for Academic Year 2025/2026; one‑time placement and registration fees are invoiced in the first year of enrolment.
- A 5% discount for full (pre‑)payment of fees is listed in fee summaries from regional school listings. Family sibling discounts are offered (examples: second‑child and third‑child discounts; typical structure includes a 5% discount for the second child and 10% for the third and subsequent children on tuition only).
- Value Added Tax (VAT) is applied in accordance with Saudi VAT law where applicable.
- No detailed public schedule of term due dates or a published instalment calendar for Jeddah International School was found in the fee summary used here; many local international schools operate on a 3‑term instalment system, so parents should expect termly invoicing unless otherwise specified by the school. The statement about termly instalments is an inference based on regional practice.

Boarding fees

- Jeddah International School is a day school; boarding facilities are not provided, so no boarding fees apply.

Other costs and mandatory extras

- Books / learning materials: a book fee is listed for early years examples (e.g., SAR 605 shown for a 3‑year‑old's first year). Additional book or materials fees may apply by grade and are typically invoiced separately or included in first‑year totals.
- Uniforms: the school supplies a uniform requirement; published listings indicate uniforms are required but do not list a universal uniform price in the public fee summary.
- Transport (school bus): school bus service is available; bus fees are normally charged separately and depend on route. Specific bus fares for Jeddah International School were not published in the fee summary reviewed.
- Optional activities and exam fees: supplementary fees (field trips, extracurricular activities, international trips, IB/AP/other exam fees, instrument hire and similar) may be charged in addition to tuition and are typically invoiced separately.

Refunds and non‑refundable items

- Placement (assessment) and registration (enrolment) fees are non‑refundable as published in fee listings.
- No comprehensive published tuition refund policy or detailed refund terms for withdrawn students was located in the public fee summary used; where published, typical practice in the region is to withhold non‑refundable application/registration fees and to apply pro‑rata or no refunds for tuition depending on withdrawal timing and the school's formal terms. The lack of a detailed public tuition refund policy in the fee summary means parents should confirm exact refund terms directly with the school.

Fee payment options

- The fee summaries consulted do not publish a definitive list of accepted payment instruments (for example, specific bank account details, card processor names, or on‑site POS acceptance) in the public fee table. A 5% discount for full payment is recorded in regional school listings. Third‑party financing platforms have been used by some parents to fund school fees for local schools, according to a regional school‑booking platform listing. Parents should expect standard methods used by Saudi schools (bank transfer, cash deposit, cheque, or card) to be available but those methods were not explicitly listed in the public fee summary reviewed here.

Quick budgeting summary (examples, annual SAR)

- K1 (Kindergarten 1): SAR 20,460 (annual total excluding optional extras). First‑year total including one‑time fees shown as SAR 23,460.
- Grade 1: SAR 23,380 (annual). Approx. SAR 7,793 per term if split into three equal instalments (inference).
- Grade 9: SAR 30,680 (annual).
- Grade 12: SAR 34,430–38,790 (annual, depending on published line); verify at enrolment.
