ST CHRISTOPHER'S SCHOOL, BAHRAIN
TUITION FEES STRUCTURE
St Christopher’s School, Bahrain is a not-for-profit organisation. This means it has no owners or shareholders making money from the School. All fee income is used to operate the School and any surpluses are applied to school development.
The School is governed by a Board of Governors. Board members, under the School’s constitution, may not hold any paid position in the School and receive no compensation for work they do for St Christopher’s.
It is very important that parents understand that tuition and other fees rise as children move up through the School. For example, Senior School fees are very significantly greater than those for younger children. Fees also increase regularly due to increased running costs.
Over the last 15 years or so the average rise has been about 4% per year. In the future, it is likely that in some years increases will be above this level, but in others, they may be lower. No guarantee can be given as to the year-to-year increase or the average increase over time. Parents are most strongly advised to bear this factor in mind when they enrol children in the School.

Should any parent not receive an invoice a week later than half term, then the Accounts Office should be contacted and a duplicate invoice obtained. Misplacement, non-receipt of the original invoice or late submission of an invoice to an employer for settlement will not be considered a valid reason for failure to pay the fees by the due date.
