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 currently bills below its approved fee in 12 of 12 year groups. See the KHDA record
The school publishes both the KHDA-approved fee and the lower amount it charges, and the lower figure is shown here. In its own words: "For the 2026-2027 Academic Year, we offer 5% off KHDA-approved fees for FS1 and FS2, 2.5% off KHDA-approved fees for Year 1 to Year 6, 5% KHDA approved fees for Year 7 to Year 9 and 10% off KHDA-approved fees for Year 10." That reduction carries no eligibility condition; bank-card and corporate reductions are offered separately and do have conditions. The school notes its tuition remains subject to KHDA approval and may be revised. New families pay a AED 2,500 admission fee and returning families a AED 2,500 re-registration fee, both non-transferable and refundable only under the regulator's refund policy. The school also runs a nursery for children aged 3 months to 3 years, which is priced by attendance pattern rather than by year group: a full year costs between AED 33,450 for three days a week finishing at 1pm and AED 42,150 for five days a week finishing at 2:30pm. Those nursery rates sit outside the school fee table above and outside the regulator-approved schedule, which begins at FS1.
