Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Tuition is unchanged for 2026/2027: KHDA records that the school requested no increase, which is why the figures match the schedules the school still publishes under earlier year labels. The school teaches FS1 to Year 6. New students pay an application fee of AED 500 including assessment, plus an enrolment fee of up to 10% of tuition, non-refundable and deducted from the first term; returning students pay up to 5% of tuition or AED 500, whichever is higher, on the same terms. Sibling discounts are 10% for the second child and 15% for the third. Uniform is AED 600 and a laptop or digital device AED 1,350; transport is AED 8,000 and school trips AED 50 to 100. Fees may be paid by cheque, card, cash, bank transfer or online link. Refunds follow the Ministry of Education bylaws: withdrawal within two weeks is charged one month, within a month two months, and beyond a month a full term.
