Sibling discounts

We are pleased to offer a discount on tuition fees for the third sibling and subsequent child in each family that is paying full fees for the academic year in either DESS Primary Oud Metha, DESS Primary Academic City or DESS College.
  • A family enrolled with three siblings will receive 5% discount for child number 3, i.e. the youngest sibling
  • A family enrolled with four siblings will receive 10% discount for child number 4, i.e. the youngest sibling and 5% discount for the 2nd youngest child
  • A family enrolled with five or more siblings will receive discount mentioned above and 10% discount for any child after child number 4
The sibling discount for the whole year is calculated and applied in the Term 2 tuition fee invoice. Therefore the Term 1 and Term 3 invoice will be as published above.
