KHDA Approved is the maximum tuition KHDA has approved this school to charge for 2026-2027. School Fee is what the school itself publishes. This school bills at its approved fee. See the KHDA record
The figures shown are tuition, as both KHDA and the school label them for 2026-2027. They are not the whole bill. Students from K2 to Grade 12 who do not hold a corporate seat also pay an annual facility fee of AED 12,984, and new non-corporate students pay a one-off capital fee of AED 22,000, which the school allows to be spread over three annual instalments of AED 7,333. KHDA's "Total Fees" column adds both, so it describes a new student rather than a returning one. KHDA records that the school requested no increase for 2026-2027. ASD is not-for-profit and states that all tuition is reinvested in student learning.
