Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
The fees shown are KHDA's total for 2026/27, which adds the mandatory charges billed alongside tuition - so the approved column alongside is the tuition on its own, and the difference is those compulsory items rather than a higher price.
