Payment Policy

The capital fund assessment, tuition and transportation fee, if applicable, shall be due no later than the first day the student starts school. Payment after this date shall result in a penalty calculated at 1% per month compounded interest for the period from the student's first day of school. In the event that full payment is not received within thirty (30) days of the student's first day of school, the student(s) may face suspension until the amount due is received. The Superintendent may determine which cases might warrant exception to the policy.

Students accepted for admission must pay a USD1500 non-refundable registration fee per student or USD2250 per family, which will be credited toward the student's tuition for the current or next school year. Newly admitted students will be assessed at the time of acceptance with payment due immediately. The school will not guarantee admission to any student who has not paid the registration fee.

Students accepted on the waiting list must pay USD1500 registration fee per student or $2250 per family to remain on the waiting list. This registration fee will be credited toward the student's tuition upon starting school. This fee is only refundable prior to being accepted from the waiting list and during the one week registration payment notice.

Payment Plan: Parents may opt to pay the Capital Fund Assessment fee over 2 or 3 years and the tuition and other school fees in three equal installments without incurring penalties. New families paying the tuition in installment must notify the school and make the first payment by April 15 or the end of the school year, whichever comes first after their acceptance. Subsequent payments will be invoiced on September 1 and January 15. All payments are due by the deadline, after which a penalty will apply as above. In the event a student does not enroll, the school will refund prepayments less the non-refundable registration fee.

REFUND OF TUITION AND FEES

If a student is withdrawn before the end of the first quarter of a semester and the parents have paid for the entire semester (two quarters), a refund of tuition will be given only for the second quarter of that semester. If a student is enrolled for one day in any of the quarters, the parents are liable for paying the entire quarter's tuition and fees. A refund of the transportation fee and capital fund assessment, when appropriate, will be made on the same basis as tuition.

In the event one of the conditions below causes any student or students to be withdrawn from the school the tuition already paid in full for the school year may not be refunded, or, if unpaid, may be due. These conditions include, but are not limited to the following, as determined by the Superintendent, in consultation with the School Board:

  1. The parent or guardian of a student is declared persona non grata;
  2. The company/industry where the parent or guardian is employed is expropriated;
  3. The U.S. Department of State declares that, due to a deteriorating political and/or military situation or natural disaster, that U.S. nationals are advised to leave Jordan;
  4. Other embassies or international organizations declare that due to a deteriorating political or military situation or natural disaster, that their nationals/employees are advised to leave Jordan;
  5. The school is closed due to fire, earthquake, or other natural or man-made disaster.
