Documentation
Brighton College Dubai can only accept your son/daughter’s application with all of the required supporting documentation. We will not be able to process incomplete applications.
New pupils to Brighton College Dubai who are unable to be registered with the KHDA due to incomplete documentation could be fined by the KHDA. Brighton College Dubai will not be responsible for any such fines imposed by the KHDA. Should there be a delay in providing documentation, please advise our Admissions Office.
Admissions
Submitting an application form via the College’s iSAMS application system does not oblige the College to accept your child. However, once you have received a formal offer and in turn returned and signed the acceptance along with submission of the required deposits/tuition fees, a contract is deemed to exist between the College and the parents/guardians, provided that the College’s regulations are observed.
Year Group Placement
The College reserves the right to place your son/daughter in a class deemed to be the most appropriate, within the KHDA guidelines.
Tuition Fee Refund
In accordance with the KHDA framework, both existing and new pupil deposits will not be refunded if the pupil decides not to return to College or accept the place offered for the next academic year due to selection of another school in Dubai. However, the school may choose to refund the deposit under special circumstances.
If you are relocating outside of Dubai, under the KHDA Framework the deposit paid would be refunded. The College will ask for evidence of the move and this will need to be submitted to the Finance Office when requesting a refund.
In the case of refund and recovery, the school fees will be calculated as follows as per Ministry of Education Bylaws:
- If the pupil attends school for two weeks or less, a month’s school fees will be charged.
- If the pupil attends school more than two weeks and less than one month, two months’ school fees will be charged.
- If the pupil attends school for two weeks or less, a month’s school fees will be charged.
- If the pupil attends for more than a month, three months’ school fees will be charged.
- In case the term is greater than 3 months then the above cycle will restart at the end of every 3 months.
The value of the fee per month is calculated by dividing the total tuition fees by 10.
New Pupils/Registration Fee
Notwithstanding the conditions mentioned in the Parent-School contract, the registration and admission fees are regulated as follows:
A school may charge up to 10% of the pupil's annual tuition fees as an admission fee to confirm that selected pupils will opt to take up the offered places. This fee should be deducted from the total tuition fees for the academic year in which the admission is being sought.
Existing Pupils/Re-registration Fee
A school may charge up to 5% of the pupil's annual tuition fees as a re-registration deposit to confirm the return of existing pupils in the new academic year. This deposit will be deducted from the total tuition fees for the academic year in which the admission is being sought. The College will advise of the amount and due date. Re-registration for continuing pupils will not be accepted unless all outstanding fees due have been paid in full.
Registration/Seat Guarantee
To register your child, you are required to pay the balance of the first term fees at least one month before the beginning of the academic year and hand in post-dated cheques/credit card authorisation form for the subsequent term.
Term One Fees
A pupil may not start the academic year unless the first term fees have been paid in full. Payments will be only accepted via cash, credit card or cheque payable to Brighton College Dubai.
The College is only able to accept personal cheques for Term 1 tuition fees and 5 working days should be allowed for this to clear.
Non-Payment of Fees
Pupils may not be permitted to appear for the school examination if their fees are not paid in full. Failure to pay tuition fees may also result in:
- Withholding of the pupils school reports, references, and/or examination results.
