Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Tuition for 2026-2027, matching the regulator-approved figures, though the school's own fee page carries no academic year label. The school prices in bands, so pairs and trios of year groups share one fee. It lists five charges it calls mandatory services, each billed once a year on top of tuition: a stationery fee of AED 200, an ICT fee of AED 150, a medical fee of AED 50, a CBSE fee of AED 400 and an admission fee of AED 500. The regulator records only the first three, so the school's own list is the fuller one. The admission fee is non-refundable, non-transferable and is not deducted from tuition. Tuition is collected in ten instalments with nothing charged in July or August, and can be paid online, or at the school counter by cash, card or cheque, though post-dated cheques are not accepted. Transport is optional and the school quotes it per month at AED 370 to AED 550, billed over the same ten months. Uniform runs AED 200 to AED 800 and books AED 400 to AED 1,000. Fees once paid are not refunded, and the school withholds reports and bars students from examinations while fees are outstanding. No discount of any kind is published on its fee page.
