Tuition is unchanged for 2026/2027, but two grades are cheaper than the headline: KHDA registers a discount of AED 1,500 on Grade 11 and AED 2,500 on Grade 12 for every student in those years, new this year, so the figures shown for them are what families pay. A separate sibling discount of 5% of tuition applies for each additional child, taken against the lowest grade. Tuition is paid by three post-dated cheques of 40%, 30% and 30% dated 25 August 2026, 7 December 2026 and 7 March 2027. New families pay a 10% deposit of annual tuition within seven days of an offer; returning families pay 5% or AED 500, whichever is higher, at re-registration, and both are deducted from tuition. Registration costs AED 500 and a bounced cheque is charged at AED 250. Books run from AED 579 in KG1 to AED 5,356 in Grade 12, uniform AED 254 to 362, and the school adds a learning-platform charge of AED 400 to 525, a clinic fee of AED 200 and assessment fees of AED 200 to 475 in Grades 1 to 10. Transport is AED 6,500 to 8,500.
