Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Fees shown are the school's published "2026 - 27 KHDA APPROVED FEES" and match the regulator's sheets row for row; KHDA records that the school requested no increase for the year. Tuition covers academic teaching and many extracurricular activities, including the Nord Anglia collaborations with MIT, Juilliard and UNICEF. A 3% discount was offered on tuition paid in full for the year, but the school's fee policy set the cut-off at 17 August 2026 and it has passed; existing families were also asked for a re-registration deposit of 5% by 1 May 2026, deducted from first-term fees. The AED 5,000 registration fee is an admission deposit and is deducted from tuition, not charged on top. School buses are run by Shanawaz and cost AED 9,200 a year round trip or AED 7,000 one way for the nearer zone, and AED 10,000 or AED 8,500 for the wider zone. Books, uniform and lunch are charged separately and are not refunded.
