Annual tuition fees
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Tuition for 2026-2027 as published by the school, which prints one annual fee per year group and no lower payable column. Fees are paid annually or in three instalments of about 40, 30 and 30 per cent. Every reduction the school offers is conditional. A sibling reduction gives the youngest child 10 per cent and the second youngest 5 per cent. ESAAD cardholders receive 10 per cent, but only families with a single applicant qualify. An early-payment reduction of 6, 4 or 2 per cent was offered for paying the full year up front, but all three deadlines passed in 2026. A referral offer of AED 1,000 for both the referring and the referred family runs to 30 September 2026. Scholarships of up to 100 per cent are advertised for Grades 7 to 11 on academic merit, subject to KHDA approval, though the school's own fact sheets record the ceiling as 75 per cent. New students pay an enrolment fee of up to 10 per cent of tuition and returning students up to 5 per cent, both deducted from the first term. Books, uniform, a laptop and transport are charged separately.
