The school has formally agreed to provide a tuition adjustment for this term. I am grateful to the 539 people who joined this effort to ensure our community was treated fairly during these volatile times.

Dear DAA Administration and management
Allow us to first start by thanking you and your team for what is sure to be tremendous effort trying to find alternate solutions to maintain education given the circumstances. We can attest that your teachers and support team are trying their absolute best to try and get our children engaged in virtual classes, and making themselves always available to support. Now with the announcement that learning beyond walls will continue till end of year, and for the sake of every parents' sanity at least acknowledge that what you are now offering is not the schooling that we agreed to pay for. As we are sure you can relate, parents are now working as full-time teachers, counsellors, in addition to trying to maintain their extremely demanding work schedules at times when all businesses are struggling, income is at risk, and future employment or business survival has never been more volatile.The entire world economy is struggling, and businesses are expected to stand by their communities, those who don't will regret that decision as social awareness is certainly on the rise. We are struggling to comprehend why the very highly paid, for-profit, private schools expect their business to remain undeterred when the entire world economy is facing an unprecedented slump. Even if you were not willing to take the revenue hit, it is appalling to issue a request for payment during these times.
As proud members of the DAA community we urge you to reconsider where your organization stands during these times, and consider what you want the school to be remembered for when life returns to whatever new norm. Thank you for you leadership and support and wish the best of luck navigating these unprecedented times.

Pls adjust the fees to reflect the current situation. School is essential but not at the cost of making profit in these times. Surely this situation is unique and calls for new policies.
As a divorced mother of 4 children, I can simply not pay full tuition fee as I got a salary cut from 30% at the moment and will maybe lose my job. Appreciate KHDA to take action on school fees. Thanks
The school doesn't deserve to be paid full fees because they are saving all the operating costs except for the salaries and we will not use any of the school's amenities or facilities also for the learning materials
I wish to get a discount for term 3 during home schooling. I’m a working mom and I’m working very hard with my boys to make sure they are completing home schooling. It’s not fair to pay full price when we are not using the school facilities
My son goes to school with an LSA. as a distant learning parent, i am also acting like an LSA, a teacher and a full time working mom in the oilfield which has taken the biggest hit. what is the DAA position on LSAs? we dont want them to be unemployed but at the same time is DAA ready to sponsor their salaries?
we need a discount on the school and paying the same amount is useless since he isn’t going and we can’t pay that amount in the panadamic
Request fee reduction

Some teachers are parents but not all parents are teacher ,it’s very hard for kids to just hearing voice and see some sentences without any movement,it’s really boring for adults how it will be for kids.it’s very hard work for parents who has more than two kids and to give them a suitable environment.
