Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Tuition approved by ADEK for 2026-2027, AED 8,480 (KG) to 18,570 (Grade 12), unchanged from last year. These are the maximum fees the school may charge, and the school publishes ADEK's approval letter itself as its fee schedule rather than a separate price list, so no lower figure is advertised. A standardized assessment fee is included within tuition for Grades 3 to 9. Charged separately: transport at a flat AED 4,548 a year, books from AED 210 to 1,290 by grade, additional French and English textbooks from AED 150 to 345, and uniform at AED 180 to 190. From Grade 9 the book fee differs slightly between the Advanced and General tracks. No registration fee, application fee, discount, scholarship, payment schedule or refund policy is published by the school or by ADEK.
