Annual tuition fees
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Fees shown are the school's published 2026-27 payable rates: its own fee table prints "Annual KHDA Fee", "Annual Discount" and "Discounted Annual Fee" for every grade, with no eligibility condition attached, and the three term instalments are calculated from the discounted figure. The academic year runs April to March (Term 1 April to June, Term 2 September to December, Term 3 January to March). Two mandatory annual charges sit on top of tuition and account for KHDA's recorded gap of AED 1,298 on every grade: books AED 649 and uniform AED 649 plus VAT. Grade 12's approved fee genuinely sits below Grade 11's on the official list. Transport is charged separately per term by zone. Fees exclude transport, books and uniforms.
