ADEK Approved is the maximum tuition ADEK has approved this school to charge for 2026-2027. School Fee is what the school itself publishes. This school currently bills below its approved fee in 9 of 12 year groups. See the ADEK record
The school bills three unequal termly instalments and publishes no annual total. For Grades 1 to 9 those are AED 12,720, 15,900 and 9,540, which is a monthly rate of AED 3,180 across four, five and three months, and the AED 38,160 shown here is that year in full. ADEK's register carries AED 38,180, twenty dirhams higher, and both figures are current - the school's own instalments only reconcile to 38,160, so that is what a family pays. Kindergarten figures come from ADEK; the school's own kindergarten guide is undated and charges one flat rate across all three years, and it names the stages Pre KG, KG1 and KG2 where ADEK names them KG 1, KG 2 and KG 3. Tuition is charged pro-rata by month from the admission date and is never refunded. Admission normally requires the child to be a Japanese national and the family to belong to the Abu Dhabi Japanese Association. The school runs to Grade 9 only; there is no Japanese high school in the UAE.
