Kings' School Al Barsha
Kings' School Al Barsha is an Outstanding-rated British curriculum school in Al Barsha, Dubai, and part of the Kings' Education Group founded in 2004. Opened in September 2014 with approximately 650 students, the school has grown to over 3,000 students from more than 70 nationalities. Students follow the English National Curriculum from Foundation Stage through GCSE and A-Level, with BTEC pathways also available in the Sixth Form. The school's purpose-built 139,000 m² campus features world-class facilities including three swimming pools, a FIFA-compliant grass football pitch, a Cricket Academy, a 600-seat theatre, two Black Box theatres, and a music recording studio. Kings' Al Barsha has been rated Outstanding by KHDA since 2018-19 and holds an Outstanding rating from British Schools Overseas (BSO). In 2024, 41% of A-Level entries achieved A*–A grades and GCSE results continue to improve year on year.
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Tuition is the school's own published 2026-2027 fee structure, which KHDA has approved and which the school links to directly. KHDA records that the school requested no increase for 2026-2027, so tuition is unchanged from 2025-26 on every year group. Families in Years 8 to 13 will still pay more than last year, because the per-grade discounts that applied to those years in 2025-26 have been withdrawn; only Year 12 and Year 13 keep one, of AED 2,789 and AED 4,980, and those are shown as the payable price. Year 3 is the one figure where the two sources differ by a single dirham: the school publishes 66,086 and KHDA 66,085. Tuition excludes uniform, transport, trips, learning support and external examination fees.
