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 2026-27" and repeated on a signed, stamped PDF on school letterhead. The school prices in four bands of its own - KG 1 and 2, 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. Tuition is identical to the boys' school; the textbook fees differ. Alongside it the school publishes a "SPEA-approved fees" column which is tuition plus the textbook fee plus one uniform set, running AED 8,720 to 16,605; that column is shown here as the approved figure. Textbooks cost AED 58 to 714 by grade and a uniform set AED 370 to 435, and the school states both are outsourced to third-party vendors and are not charged or collected by the school. A new admission fee of AED 500 is due on accepting the offer letter.
