Tuition and Fees
As a non-profit organization, the American International School of Jeddah (AISJ) is funded predominantly by tuition and fees. General tuition and fees ensure the continued quality of the school’s programs. All funds are used to operate the school, provide the best education and resources reasonably possible, and to prepare for the school’s future needs. Tuition amounts include textbooks, classroom assessments/reporting, and PSAT assessments.
Tuition is assessed on a full-year basis for scholars enrolling in the first semester. Tuition may be paid in two equal semester installments on the due dates listed below. Attendance of one week in a semester will make the scholar subject to pay a full semester tuition fee. For parents with 3 or more children attending AISJ, tuition payment can be made in four equal installments on the due dates listed below.
| GRADE LEVEL | TUITION (SAR) FULL TUITION DUE |

| Pre-K 2/3/4 | 40,400 |
