About GEMS Our Own English High School Sharjah - Boys
GEMS Our Own English High School Sharjah - Boys (OOB) is a private Indian CBSE boys' school in Al Juwaizah, Sharjah, part of GEMS Education. Established in 1982 and relocated to a purpose-built Al Juwaizah campus in 2019, it follows the CBSE curriculum (NCERT-aligned) from Kindergarten to Grade 12, with Science, Commerce and Humanities streams at senior secondary, one of the few CBSE boys' schools to offer Humanities, alongside emerging subjects such as Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. Kindergarten is a mixed entry point, with boys-only provision from the primary grades. Home to around 3,300 students from 11 nationalities, OOB is rated Very Good by the Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) and is a multiple education-award winner (Khalifa Award, Generation Global Gold, the Green Award and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award).

Annual tuition fees
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
The figures shown are tuition only, from the school's own table headed "Fee Structure for the Academic Year 2026-2027". The school prices in four bands of its own - KG1 and KG2, Grades 1 to 5, Grades 6 to 9, and Grades 10 to 12 - so the repeated figures are the school's banding, not an approximation. Alongside it the school publishes a "SPEA-approved fees" column which is simply tuition plus the textbook fee plus one uniform set, running AED 8,810 to 16,670; that column is shown here as the approved figure. Textbooks cost AED 148 to 725 by grade and a uniform set AED 370 to 435, and the school states it does not charge or collect the textbook fee itself - that is outsourced to an approved third-party vendor, and the quoted price excludes workbooks and stationery. A new admission fee of AED 500 is due on accepting the offer letter, non-refundable but adjusted against the first term.
