It delivers a US Common Core programme from Pre-KG to Grade 12 (ages 3-18), with MoE Arabic and Islamic studies, leading to the US High School Diploma supported by Advanced Placement (AP) courses, SAT and MAP benchmarking. Serving around 1,130 students and accredited by Cognia, the school holds a SPEA "Good" rating (2024-25, up from Acceptable) with personal development rated Very Good, and is among the more affordable American schools in Sharjah, with fees from about AED 14,700.
Fees read from the school's published 2025-26 fee schedule; SPEA rating from its 2024-25 inspection report. How Talem verifies →
Fees for 2025/2026, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
The school publishes no fee schedule of its own - its website has no fees page at all - so these figures come from the Sharjah Private Education Authority's own published fee structure for the school, which covers 2025/2026. SPEA's column is headed "School Fees (Tuition + Book)", so it bundles books into the figure rather than charging them separately. SPEA also approves a uniform charge of AED 480 in the kindergarten years and 540 from Grade 1 up. Contact the school directly to confirm what it is charging for 2026/27.
