Per‑term fees / term breakdown

- The figures above are published as annual tuition totals. The school issues a Tuition Fees & Payment Calendar that sets the billing instalments and exact per‑term amounts; per‑term amounts are therefore determined by that calendar and by the payment option chosen on enrolment. The published fee summary itself shows annual totals rather than an explicit term‑by‑term table.

Sibling, corporate and high‑achiever rates

- The published fee grid includes discounted sibling rates, corporate rates and a separate “high achievers” band. The fee grid presents a Regular Fee column and lower amounts for Siblings and Corporate enrolments (for example, sibling and corporate rates are shown alongside the regular annual amounts in the school's fee table).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Payments must be made according to the school's published Tuition Fees & Payment Calendar; invoices and instalment deadlines are set in that calendar and parents are required to meet those deadlines. The school's published fee information states that payments are due by the calendar deadlines and that registration for the next academic year is conditional on clearing all current‑year dues.
- The school offers instalment arrangements for tuition (the school's public information notes that tuition may be booked into instalments). Exact instalment counts, deadlines and any administrative charges for instalments are set in the Tuition Fees & Payment Calendar.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not applicable. Waad Academy is listed as a co‑educational day school; no boarding/residential programme or boarding fee is published.

Other costs and recurring charges

- School uniform: purchased separately; uniform costs are not included in the annual tuition totals. The school provides a published uniform supplier listing.
- Device / technology: use of iPad devices is part of provision for upper grades; families should expect device‑related charges or requirements (the fee notes indicate iPad requirements for Grades 3–12 and an annual device management/enrolment charge is referenced separately).
- Textbooks, stationery and materials: some items are listed as separate or externally purchased; book and stationery lists are issued to parents.
- External examination fees: Cambridge IGCSE/A‑level (and other external examination) registration and exam fees are charged separately at the appropriate registration windows and are not included in the annual tuition totals.
- School trips and extra‑curricular activities: some trips and activities are optional and may carry separate charges billed in advance.

Refund information

- No specific, itemised refund policy for tuition, deposits or other fees is published in the school's publicly available fee summary. The school's admissions/registration documentation and the Tuition Fees & Payment Calendar set the billing deadlines; any refund eligibility, deadlines and administrative terms are addressed in those formal registration and admissions policies rather than in the headline fee table.

Fee payment options

- The school's fee information is administered through a formal Tuition Fees & Payment Calendar and billing process. The school's published billing materials include bank/payment instructions for parents as part of invoicing and the payment calendar; parents use the school's published payment channels (bank transfer / local payment arrangements) according to the invoice instructions and calendar. Specific payment channel availability (for example, credit‑card acceptance or online payment portal) and any service charges for particular payment methods are set out in the school's billing documents and payment calendar.

Short summary

- Annual tuition by grade is published (KG1 SAR 33,784 up to G11/G12 SAR 54,167). The school publishes sibling, corporate and high‑achiever discounted rates alongside the regular fees. Billing follows a published Tuition Fees & Payment Calendar; the annual totals above are billed according to that calendar and instalment options. Uniforms, device management, textbooks, external exam fees and optional trips are charged separately. The school is a day school and does not publish boarding fees.
