Company Accounts
Companies and organizations with a current account with GEMS World Academy, Abu Dhabi, are requested to provide parents of new students with a letter stating that they will be responsible for the payment of tuition and fees.
The company is then required to pay the registration fee and tuition for the current semester, within 30 days of the date the new student is accepted for enrollment.

Parent Pay Accounts
Payment invoices and receipts cannot be split between the parent and a sponsoring company.
If a company’s policy does not provide for full payment of school fees, the student account will be shown as a parent pay in the school’s records. This requires parents to pay the registration fee and tuition fee for the current semester upon initial enrollment and before class attendance.
Parents should then seek reimbursement from their company.
Refunds
The school may retain a certain amount of the tuition fees in any of the following:
- If a student attends any part of week one of the term or fails to show up at all without the Parent/Guardian notifying the school in writing sufficiently in advance before the beginning of a term. In such a case, the school may retain the value of the registration or re-registration fees.
- If a student attends from one week and up to three weeks in a term, the school may retain the value of one full month of tuition fees.
- If a student attends over three weeks and up to six weeks in a term, the school may retain the value of two full months of tuition fees.
