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 for Special Services

As part of AISJ enrollment criteria, the school may require certain students to receive special services as a condition of their enrollment. Depending on the severity of needs, these services may include Learning Support (LS), English Language Learning (ELL), and Speech Language Pathology (SLP). AISJ will provide these services as necessary, for an additional fee. Access to these special programs may be based on seat availability and student need.

Mild/Moderate Service Level II 6,600

*In special circumstances when students require a one-to-one assistant, parents will pay the additional wage cost of the personnel required.
