Emirates International School - Jumeirah

Established in 1991 as a community service of the Al Habtoor Group, Emirates International School Jumeirah is one of Dubai's longest-running IB World Schools and the first in the city to offer the IB Diploma Programme (authorized 1992). A full IB Continuum school offering PYP, MYP, DP, and the Career-related Programme across a 12-acre campus in Umm Suqeim. Over 2,260 students from 70+ nationalities are taught by 182 qualified educators. Facilities include 11 science laboratories, a 568-seat theatre, 25-metre swimming pool, three libraries, and a robotics lab.
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
The school's own 2026-27 fee policy prices its year groups in six bands, and Early Years 1, Early Years 2 and Year 1 genuinely share one price of AED 38,636. Fees are annual and may be settled in three termly payments due in August, November and February, or in full once the KHDA parent contract is signed. A one-off application fee of AED 525 including VAT applies to new admissions and is not refundable, and a deposit of 10 per cent of tuition reserves a seat within seven days of an offer, or 5 per cent to re-register, both deducted from the year's fees. There is no general discount: siblings attract nothing for the first two children, then 10 per cent for the third and fourth and 20 per cent from the fifth, and a merit scholarship programme offers up to 25 per cent by competitive application. Tuition covers textbooks, workbooks, standard equipment, learning subscriptions and routine in-house medical treatment. Charged separately: IB and MYP examination entry, English-as-an-additional-language support at AED 5,000, the Early Years extended-hours programme at AED 4,000, KHDA attestation at AED 120, trips, uniform, meals, paid activities and transport.
