Amman - School Report Question and Answers

Aside from school fees, are there required expenses such as uniforms, laptops/tablets, musical instruments, or field trips that parents are expected to cover? What are the approximate costs?

I haven't had any but once again, due to COVID, there haven't been any school trips or very many activities. - Jul 2022


Just school supplies and special trips. - Feb 2021


We buy uniforms (no big deal), pay for some of the after-school activities, and some field trips. - Sep 2019


One uniform comes with the tuition of the school, but you need to provide your child with khakis and white button-down shirts. You should provide your high schooler with a laptop, but the middle school loans them to the students. Musical instruments can be on loan, and field trips are included. We haven't had any abroad experiences yet with King's, but there might be some traveling involved with sports teams and Model UN. I'm just not sure. - Nov 2018


Uniforms. We love uniforms!! I think a uniform costs about 30 USD and we purchased a few. - Feb 2018


Uniforms, laptop deposit and some extra-curriculars but much is included, such as lunch and dinner even for day students who stay late. Kings does not put as much emphasis on extravagant international trips or sports tournaments. - Apr 2017


There are some small additional costs, such as occasional field trips and voluntary contributions towards class parties/ gifts for teachers/ etc. - Aug 2016


Not really, just the basics, uniforms and extra activities. - Sep 2015


Laptops, activities (paying to participate in Arabic culture night), yearbooks (mandatory), field trips, choir, school plays, ad infinitum. - Aug 2015


Hot lunch is extra as it is most anywhere. After-school activities are extra. - Jan 2015
