Application fees
- The school requires a completed application form and submission of required documents as part of the admissions process. No specific monetary amount for an application or registration fee is published in the school's publicly available admissions or tuition material.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school operates the International Baccalaureate Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma programmes (PYP, MYP, DP) across its grade ranges. No published schedule of tuition charges by grade, year group, term, or annual total is provided in the school's public tuition or downloads pages for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. Consequently, exact per-term or per-year tuition figures are not available to list here.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Parents sign a school contract when admission is granted. Specific billing schedules (for example: number of instalments, monthly/termly due dates, late-payment penalties) and other payment terms are not published in the school's public admissions/tuition information.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Mehr-e-Taban functions as a day school; boarding is not listed as a provision of the International School. No boarding fees apply.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- A campus store and admissions-related administrative processes are part of the school; typical additional parent-borne costs commonly associated with enrolment include: school uniform purchases, textbooks and learning materials, exam fees (including IB examination or assessment fees where applicable), optional activity or trips fees, and any specialised course fees. No published price list for uniforms, books, extracurriculars, assessment or exam fees is available in the school's public downloads or tuition pages.

Refund information
- No public refund policy, refund schedule, or conditions for refund of tuition or other fees is published in the school's publicly available admissions/tuition materials. Refund rules are therefore not available to state here.

Fee payment options
- The school accepts online applications and uses a formal admissions and contracting process, but specific accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit/debit card, local payment channels) are not listed in the publicly available tuition or admissions material.

Summary of availability for database entry:
- The school's public admissions and tuition pages confirm the presence of an admissions/contract process, the grade structures (PYP, MYP, DP) and a campus store, but do not publish numerical amounts for application fees, tuition by grade or term, billing schedules, boarding fees, uniform or other itemised costs, refund terms, or permitted payment methods. For those fields in your database that require numeric values or specific payment terms, the school's publicly available material does not provide figures to populate those fields.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The PYP curriculum develops the whole child, fostering intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth. MIS teachers focus on developing respectful and responsible students. Inclusion and wellbeing are core to MIS, with environments that foster a sense of belonging and well-being. The IB-based approach emphasises inquiry-based, transdisciplinary learning that supports student voice and agency. The Inclusion Policy reinforces the importance of social-emotional development and equitable access to learning.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

SEN staff co-teach or push-in in grade-level and subject-area classes when needed. Students with learning differences receive tailored support, including individualized learning plans and accommodations. An ILP and accommodations framework is described, with regular monitoring of progress and exit processes when appropriate. Inclusion practices provide accessible environments, differentiated teaching, and ongoing professional development for staff.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

All students from KG to 12 study English and Persian. English is the primary language of instruction across all grades. English language and literature are studied throughout the IB programs; if support is needed, students are referred to the SEN department. French is provided in Grades 3–5 as an additional language, and between Grades 6–10 students may choose either German or French as their additional language. Language learning is supported by a multilingual library and by host language, mother tongue, and Language A programmes in PYP, MYP, and DP.

Mental Wellbeing

Inclusion emphasises creating supportive environments that foster belonging and well-being. The Counseling Department provides emotional and behavioral support and is a key part of safeguarding the school community.

Safeguarding

Counseling Department provides emotional and behavioral support and ensures safeguarding.

Admissions

1. Required documents & initial interview for registration. Parents can complete the registration process at MIS through the school website or in person. Grade KG or a single student must initially register online and then attend an interview with the school counsellors. The student's most recent report card or transcript must be submitted by the admission team. Complete the application forms. The head of the school or principal will interview the student's parents. After these requirements are met, an interview appointment will be scheduled.

2. Analyzing students' educational history. After reviewing the documents and forms, MIS assesses applicants: PYP students (KG–grade 5) are evaluated through oral and written components. Early PYP years (KG–grade 2) are evaluated orally by the curriculum director and the coordinator, while upper PYP years (grades 3–5) undergo two steps: an onscreen assessment and an oral interview with the curriculum director and coordinator. MYP & DP students are evaluated through multiple steps as part of a comprehensive review.

3. Step 1–3: Entrance exam and interviews. Step 1: Students take an onscreen entrance exam; subjects include English Language & Literature, Persian Language & Literature, French, Mathematics, and Sciences. Step 2: Students have an interview with the program curriculum director. Step 3: Students have an interview with the IB coordinator of the related program. Notes: Entrance exam and interview results are recorded on Form A.1; the final decision is reported to the parents. If interviews or exams cannot be conducted in person, they may be held online. If a student does not meet curriculum standards, a two-week trial or referral to the SEN department may be offered.

4. Final decision and waitlist. Admissions may be granted or denied, or a student may be placed on a waiting list; the director has ultimate approval. MIS requires applicants to present actual report cards for the previous two academic years. MIS currently accepts applicants aged 6–11.

Waitlist

Admission may be granted or denied or placed on a waiting list; final acceptance is at the director's discretion. MIS currently accepts applicants aged 6–11, and final decisions may involve reviewing whether the school can accommodate the student's needs.

Soodeh Educational Complex

I don't have verified details for Soodeh Educational Complex in the input provided. To create an accurate, fact-based school profile, please share a link or paste key information from the school's materials (location, curriculum, language of instruction, notable facilities, and distinctive programs). If you provide these, I will craft a 150-word description suitable for international families, and select up to three clearly evidenced strengths and up to three clubs from the allowed categories.

Overview

I attempted to obtain the Soodeh Educational Complex official fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year (or 2025/26 if 2026/27 is not published). The school's public website (soodeh.com) could not be accessed to retrieve an official fee schedule. Because the official fee schedule could not be obtained, the detailed fee items requested (application fees; tuition by year and per term; billing schedule and payment terms; boarding fees; uniforms and other mandatory charges; refund rules; and payment methods) are not available from the school's published materials that I could retrieve. As a result, exact amounts and term-by-term breakdowns cannot be provided here.

Current confirmed facts

- The school operates as an IB-authorized, private, female-only school and lists boarding facilities.

Requested fee items and their availability

- Application fees: Not available — no accessible official figure could be retrieved from the school's publicly reachable materials.

- Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year): Not available — no accessible official per-term or per-grade tuition schedule could be retrieved.

- Billing schedule and payment terms (due dates, installment options, penalties): Not available — no accessible official billing schedule or payment-terms documentation could be retrieved.

- Boarding fees: Presence of boarding facilities is confirmed, but specific boarding fee amounts and inclusions (meals, laundry, supervision) were not accessible.

- Other costs (uniform, transport, meals, extra-curricular fees, entrance deposit): Not available — no accessible official list of other mandatory fees could be retrieved.

- Refund information (withdrawal / cancellation / unused services): Not available — no accessible official refund or withdrawal policy could be retrieved.

- Fee payment options (card, bank transfer, cheque, online portal): Not available — no accessible official payment-method list could be retrieved.

What was found and why it is insufficient

- The International Baccalaureate (IB) school page for Soodeh Educational Complex confirms the school's IB status, contact points, and that boarding is offered, but it does not publish fee amounts or a fee schedule.

- Several third-party mentions, news items, or social posts discuss or quote historical/private fee figures for Soodeh, but these are not official school-published fee schedules and therefore were not used to produce specific fee amounts here. Examples of third-party coverage mentioning fees exist in news and social posts. Relying on such sources for precise, up-to-date fee figures risks inaccuracy.

Summary — what this means for a parent

- Exact application fees, term-by-term tuition figures by year group, the billing schedule, boarding charge details, uniform and other mandatory costs, refund rules, and accepted payment methods are not available from the school's publicly retrievable official materials at this time. The only concrete item confirmed from authoritative directories is that the school provides boarding.

How to obtain an official, up-to-date fee schedule

- Request the official 2026/27 (or 2025/26 if applicable) fee schedule and the school's payment policy directly from the school's admissions or coordinator contact points listed in authoritative directories. The IB school listing provides the coordinator name and contact pathways.

Final note

- Because the school's official fee schedule could not be retrieved, no specific monetary amounts are provided here. This response records which fee items are unavailable and confirms the presence of boarding; it does not present estimated or third-party fee numbers.
