Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Fees are KHDA-approved for 2026-2027 and unchanged from last year, because the school requested no increase. The school applies a discount to everyone, so the price families actually pay is lower than the approved tuition: AED 790 less at Foundation Stage, rising to AED 8,971 less in Year 13. Both sixth-form years work out at the same payable figure of AED 99,392. The nursery years carry no discount. A new applicant pays an application fee of AED 500 plus VAT, with assessment included, and an enrolment deposit of up to 10% of tuition which is deducted from the first term but not refunded; existing families re-enrol at up to 5% of tuition or AED 500, whichever is higher. Uniform costs AED 60 to 2,200 and optional transport AED 5,500 to 9,000 a year. Sibling discounts of 5%, 10% and 15% apply to a second, third and fourth or subsequent child, are applied to the youngest child, cap at 15%, and cannot be combined with any other Kings discount; nursery is excluded. Corporate arrangements exist for Aviation Pilots Club members and Emirates staff. Internal after-school clubs are free from Year 2, with Year 1 joining in January; external clubs are charged separately. The school publishes no instalment schedule. KHDA licenses a nursery band for ages 1 to 2, but the school states on three of its own pages that it admits from age 2, so check availability before assuming that year group is offered.
