Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
The school publishes an "Approved Tuition Fee" and a "Discounted Tuition Fee" side by side under the heading "Fee Structure AY 2026-2027", and both are shown here. The two are IDENTICAL from Pre-School to Year 5 - there is no reduction on those year groups - and the discount begins at Year 6, widening from about 5 per cent there to 13 per cent by Year 12. The prices shown are the discounted ones parents actually pay, and the three term instalments are calculated on them, with no eligibility condition attached. Tuition includes textbooks but NOT examination fees, which the school lists separately and which become substantial at the top of the school: IGCSE at AED 800 a subject in Year 11 and AS and A Level at AED 950 a subject in Years 12 and 13. Uniform is charged at AED 600 (Pre-School to Year 1), 750 (Years 2 to 10) and 850 (Years 11 to 13), plus 5 per cent VAT. Registration is AED 500, credited against the first term and not refunded if the child does not join.
