Annual tuition fees
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Fees are the school's own published annual tuition for 2026/27, which matches KHDA's approved figure exactly on every year group - the school requested no increase for 2026-2027, so the amounts are unchanged from last year. KHDA records no discount of any kind, and the school publishes no sibling, staff or early-payment scheme. Books, e-books and stationery are charged separately at AED 1,056 to 2,700 by year group, and from Grade 10 that bundle excludes stationery. Uniform is not included. Grades 9 to 12 run Science and Arts streams at the same tuition. New families pay 10% of the annual fee on registration, then 30% in mid-August and 30% before each of the second and third terms. Transport is AED 8,940 a year.
