ADEK approved tuition for 2026/27 is unchanged from 2025/26, as published on the school's fee page. The school's own Fee Policy sets its charged fees out as a "discounted tuition fee" against the ADEK approved rate: ADEK's letter of 18 April 2026 caps fees at AED 43,330 for preschool rising to AED 64,910 for Years 10-13, and the school charges below that ceiling at every year group. Tuition excludes uniform, food services, transport, examination fees and extra-curricular activities outside school hours. Bus transport is AED 5,000 per year for a return journey, operated by Emirates Transport and subject to change pending ADEK approval. External examinations carry a 15% administration fee on top of the exam board fees. Most teacher-led extra-curricular activities are free and included in tuition; those led by external providers are paid to the provider directly. Uniforms are bought online or at Magrudy, Bawadi Mall.
