Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Fees are the school's own published tuition for 2026/27 and are tuition alone. The school bills books, stationery, assessments, a skills programme, medical, activities and trips as separate lines, and publishes a "full package" total that runs from AED 24,901 in KG1 to AED 39,669 in Grade 12 with uniform - that package figure is not tuition and is not what is shown here. Billed in three terms at 40%, 30% and 30%, or up to ten post-dated cheques from August to May. Savings of 3% to 5% are offered on the full package for paying up front, and sibling savings from the second child, both calculated on the package rather than on tuition. This is the Al Garhoud campus; the Al Quoz branch is separate and priced differently.
