A Guide to our School Fees


Admissions Application Fee

There is a non-refundable application fee of QAR 450 for each student wishing to make a formal application to our school. This fee should be paid prior to any Soft or Formal Assessment taking place. This fee is for all students from FS1 to Year 13. Soft Assessments take place for students from FS1 to Year 2 and we use CAT4 Assessments for students applying to Year 3 and above.

Registration Fee

Upon successful completion of the Admissions Process and once in receipt of an Offer Letter from the school, parents are requested to sign their Enrolment Agreement and pay the non-refundable registration fee of QAR 3,190 This is a one-off payment to block your child's school place once it has been approved and your child is first enrolled.

Seat Reservation Fee

Each year, parents are asked to confirm their intention to re-enrol their child(ren) for the forthcoming academic year. As part of this process, families will complete an online form and be requested to pay an annual seat reservation fee of QAR 2,000, which is deducted from the first term's tuition fees of the forthcoming academic year.

Please Note

  • Tuition fees are invoiced termly, the school reserves the right to apply a 10% surcharge to late payments. No reduction in fees is made for temporary absence or illness, or early withdrawal. Where the school fees are more than the Education Allowance, the parent (employee) is responsible for paying the difference.
  • Parents are responsible for paying the fees directly to the school. Qatar Airways staff, who receive the education allowance, can submit the application, registration and tuition fees for reimbursement via the GEMS system.
  • When a student joins the school during the first half of a term the full term fee is payable. When the student joins in the second half of the term, a 50% fee is charged for that period no matter which week the student joins.

Withdrawal Requirements


One term’s notice in writing is required for the withdrawal of a student during the academic year. Please email admissions@oryxschool.qa to inform the admissions office of your intent and fill in the Withdrawal Form. If your child has not started the academic term, no fees will be charged.

Bring your own device to school policy (BYOD)

Primary

Primary students are not permitted to bring any devices into school.

Secondary

Secondary students are required to bring their own personal laptop into school for use in some lessons. This will be advantageous, as it will allow students to access, store and share their work with teachers and fellow students, access learning at home and subsequently make more efficient and greater progress with their learning, acquiring ICT skills at the same time. Once setup, students will automatically be logged into the school network and will therefore not have to log in and out making the device readily available in every lesson.

Students will be required to sign a BYOD Agreement Form.
