Tuition for 2026-2027, matching the fees the regulator has approved, though the school's own page is still headed 2025-2026. The school teaches KG1 to Grade 12 and has no pre-primary class, so the regulator's pre-primary entry does not correspond to a place a family can take up. Uniform and books are charged on top and the school prints them per year group: uniform from AED 461 to AED 793 and books and stationery from AED 1,260 to AED 4,026, taking a Grade 11 place to about AED 34,400 in total. Fees are paid in three instalments, half in August then a quarter each in December and March, in cash or by cheque. A seat is held by a reservation fee the school states in two different ways, as 10 per cent of annual tuition on one page and AED 1,500 on another; it is deducted from the first term and is not refunded unless the family leaves Dubai. Returning families pay up to 5 per cent or AED 500, whichever is higher. The admission test fee is given as AED 350 on the school's pages and AED 500 on its regulator sheets. There is no general discount: staff receive 45 per cent for up to two children, and 20 per cent is available for complete memorisation of the Holy Quran on production of a certificate and an internal test. Transport, graduation materials and international examination fees are extra.
