Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
The fees shown are North London Collegiate School Dubai's KHDA-approved tuition for 2026-27, which is what a continuing family pays. The school also publishes a lower introductory column, but its own page says that rate "is offered to all new joiners during their academic first year on roll" — so it applies for one year only and is listed among the discounts here rather than as the headline price. It runs from 13.5 per cent at Pre-KG down to nothing in Grades 4 and 5, then 4 per cent from Grade 6 upward. A non-refundable application fee of AED 500 plus 5 per cent VAT is due before assessment, and a non-refundable deposit confirms a place and is offset against tuition. Sibling discounts of 5, 10 and 15 per cent run for the child's whole time at the school and are applied after any introductory rate. Tuition does not include school lunches, transport, uniform or educational trips, and activities needing an external provider may cost extra.
