GEMS Founders School - Al Mizhar

Tuition approved by KHDA for 2026-2027, unchanged from last year because the school requested no increase: AED 24,877 for FS1 and 28,122 for FS2, then 30,285 for Years 1 to 6, 32,448 for Years 7 to 9, 35,694 for Years 10 and 11 and 37,856 for Years 12 and 13. There is no general discount at this school in any year, so the approved fee is the fee families pay. Tuition is paid in three terms at 40%, 30% and 30%, covering September to December, January to March and April to June. A new student pays an application fee of AED 525 including VAT and a registration deposit of 10% of annual tuition, which is not refunded but is set against the tuition bill; existing families re-register at up to 5%. Charged separately: uniform AED 650 to 2,900, books AED 400, stationery AED 630, an e-learning fee of AED 300, and optional transport at AED 6,700 to 10,500 a year. Eligibility-gated schemes include sibling relief from the fourth child, academic and humanitarian scholarships, a staff discount, and up to 3% for paying in advance by the group credit card; none of these is a general price reduction, and the school's own website still describes older sibling rates than the regulator now approves, so confirm the rate that applies to you.
