Dwight School Dubai
Dwight School Dubai is a premium co-educational IB World School located on a spacious 10-acre campus in Dubai Sports City. Part of the global Dwight Schools network, originally founded in New York in 1872, the Dubai campus opened in 2018 in Al Barsha before relocating to its purpose-built Sports City campus in September 2022. The school delivers the full International Baccalaureate continuum: Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), and Career-Related Programme (CP). Serving over 810 students from 75 nationalities, Dwight Dubai features a distinctive campus design with named buildings, Little Sparks (Early Years), Ignite (PYP), Momentum (MYP/DP), Infinity (DP), and the Innovation Hub. The school's signature Spark Tank programme is a student incubator nurturing entrepreneurship and innovation, with over 100 student-entrepreneurs to date. Dwight is NEASC accredited and holds a KHDA rating of Good for 2023-2024, with Very Good ratings across Health & Safety, Support, Self-Evaluation, Parents & Community, and Management. Approximately 25% of students receive additional learning support through the Quest inclusion programme.
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Fees are the KHDA-approved annual tuition for 2026/2027, published by the school under the heading "Annual Tuition Fees 2026-27" and matching KHDA's fact sheet for every year group. KHDA registers no discount on this school, so the approved fee is the fee charged. Dubai froze approved fees for 2026/2027, so these figures are unchanged from last year. Tuition excludes uniform, food, transport and after-school activities. A one-time application fee of AED 525 (VAT included) and a non-refundable AED 6,000 registration fee apply, the latter deductible from term 1. Returning families pay a re-registration deposit of up to 5% of tuition, also deductible.
