American School of Creative Science - Nad Al Sheba
The American School of Creative Science (ASCS) Nad Al Sheba is a private co-educational American curriculum school located in Nad Al Sheba 2, Dubai. Part of the BEAM Education network founded by Salah Bukhatir, the school delivers the US California Common Core Curriculum alongside Next Generation Science Standards, integrated with Arabic, Islamic Studies, and UAE Social Studies. Originally established in Al Barsha in 2016, the school relocated to its current Nad Al Sheba campus in 2020 where it shares the site with the International School of Creative Science under separate leadership. ASCS serves over 728 students from 55+ nationalities, with UAE nationals representing over 55% of the student body. The school holds NEASC accreditation and operates as a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) school from Grade 1. Guided by its motto "Excellence Rooted in Values," ASCS combines rigorous academic instruction with a strong Islamic ethos, including a dedicated Quran memorisation programme. Gender-separate classes begin from Grade 4. The school received a KHDA rating of Good for 2023-2024, with Health and Safety rated Outstanding.
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
The school publishes both a KHDA-approved fee and the lower amount it actually charges, and the lower figure is shown here: it runs from AED 35,000 in Pre-KG to AED 71,000 in Grade 12, against approved fees of AED 35,822 to AED 72,669. The reduction applies to every year group with no conditions attached. Tuition is paid in three instalments of about 40, 30 and 30 per cent. A registration deposit of AED 2,000 is paid on enrolment and set against the first term, and returning families pay a re-registration fee of AED 1,000 collected after the spring break, also deducted from the first term; the AED 525 application fee is non-refundable and is NOT deducted from tuition. Note the school's admission policy page instead describes a non-refundable AED 1,000 admission fee at registration, so the two pages disagree and both are recorded here. Further reductions are available on top: 5 per cent for a second child and 10 per cent from a third, 20 per cent for ESAAD cardholders, 10 per cent for DEWA staff and for police and armed forces, and 15 to 25 per cent for Quran memorisation. Books and resources, a medical fee, an assessment fee and a canteen deposit are charged separately.
