Arab Unity School

Founded in 1974, Arab Unity School is one of Dubai's longest-established international schools, offering the UK National Curriculum from FS2 through Year 13 with Cambridge IGCSE and A Level qualifications. Located in Al Mizhar 1, the school serves over 3,500 students from more than 40 nationalities and is recognised as one of the most affordable full British-curriculum schools in Dubai. Post-16 students achieve notably strong results with Mathematics and Science attainment rated Very Good, and Personal and Social Development rated Outstanding. IGCSE preparation begins in Year 9 with a three-year programme. Health and Safety is rated Very Good across all phases.
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
The figures shown are Arab Unity School's KHDA-approved annual tuition for 2026-27, from AED 6,462 in Foundation Stage 2 to AED 10,808 in Year 13, and the school confirms no increase for the year. Tuition is only part of what a family pays: the school adds a mandatory book and resources fee rising from AED 900 in Foundation Stage 2 to AED 3,170 in Year 13, a mandated medical fee of AED 350, an extra-curricular charge of AED 500 in every year group, graduation costs in Foundation Stage 2, Year 11 and Year 13, and a set of national assessment charges from Year 2 upward. None of those carries an opt-out, so the school's own advertised all-in total runs from AED 8,512 to AED 15,528. A registration fee of AED 300 applies to new students, and fees are paid in three instalments due before 1 September, 1 January and 1 April. The school does not publish any sibling, early-payment or scholarship discount. Tuition covers a stationery starter pack, notebooks, consumables and e-resources, but not uniform, canteen meals, transport or trips; IGCSE, AS, A Level and Pearson Diploma entry fees are charged separately and the school says they are confirmed each August. School transport is run by a third-party operator and ranges from AED 3,450 to AED 8,050 a year by area. The school teaches Foundation Stage 2 to Year 13 and does not offer a Foundation Stage 1 year, although the regulator licenses one.
