Per‑term amounts (inferred example)
- The school's fees are published as annual amounts. For parents who require a per‑term figure, an equal three‑term split of the published annual fee gives an approximate per‑term amount (this is an arithmetic inference, not a separate published figure): for example, Grade 1 annual BHD 3,760 ≈ BHD 1,253 per term (3 equal terms). I am presenting these per‑term numbers as inferred values derived by dividing the published annual fees by three.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- The published fees are displayed as annual tuition for each year group; application and admission charges are identified as one‑time fees and are payable at application/admission. - The school provides invoice management and supports secure online payments through its official IKNS parent mobile app (invoice viewing and online settlement of fees are available through the app). Parents use the school's payment portal to settle invoices.

Uniform purchases should be expected in addition to published tuition. - The published annual tuition figures do not itemise separate costs for books, transport, meals, extracurricular activities or exam fees; families commonly budget additionally for textbooks, school trips, transport and activity fees beyond the tuition figure. The published fee tables list the annual tuition and the one‑time admission/application amounts; separate ancillary charges are managed and invoiced by the school.
Refund information
- Application and admission charges are presented as one‑time fees in the published fee listings. The publicly available fee listings show those charges as one‑time items; a specific, itemised public refund schedule for withdrawal or term‑time refunds is not published alongside the fee table in the cited listings. Refunds or any refundable deposits and the conditions for refund are handled under the school's finance and withdrawal policy.
