Books are charged separately at AED 1,300 to 2,490 depending on the grade, and uniform at AED 780 a year plus 5% VAT. The school publishes no academic year on the sheet, so no fee year is stamped here; this schedule replaced the previous one in June 2025 and was still the live version in August 2026. Registration is AED 500, collected after the entrance assessment. Optional transport is AED 3,800 two-way or 3,350 one-way within Sharjah, 4,500 / 4,050 to Ajman and 5,800 / 5,365 to Dubai.
