Fees are the KHDA-approved annual tuition for 2026/2027. The school's own fee table is still headed 2025/26, but KHDA's fact sheet for every year group carries the same figures under 2026-2027, and the school's table has been in force unchanged since 1 March 2024. KHDA registers no discount here, so the approved fee is the fee charged. Tuition includes textbooks, and excludes class trips, school outings, transport, uniform from Grade 1, canteen, the iPad required from Grade 1, and afternoon activities. German as a foreign or second language is a separate AED 4,800 a year and is offered in kindergarten only.
