St. Mary's Catholic High School Dubai
St. Mary's Catholic High School is one of Dubai's oldest and most affordable British curriculum schools, founded in 1968 by Father Eusebius Daveri on land donated by Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum. Located in Oud Metha, the school follows the National Curriculum of England from Year 1 through Year 13 with IGCSE/GCSE and A-Level examinations. Rated Good by KHDA for 8 consecutive years, St. Mary's serves approximately 1,950 students at its Oud Metha campus with a second campus in Muhaisnah. With all-inclusive fees starting from just AED 8,456 (including textbooks, computer labs, and study materials), it is among the most affordable British schools in Dubai. The school emphasises compassion, integrity, mutual respect, and tolerance, with strong student behaviour recognised in secondary and post-16 phases.
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
These are KHDA's 2026/27 total fees, which combine tuition with the mandatory charges the school bills alongside it - examination and activities, books, the SIMS fee of AED 120, and computer and laboratory or student materials. The school publishes no fee table of its own; its fee page reprints the KHDA fact sheets. One caveat on sixth form: KHDA carries an un-streamed Year 12 and Year 13 sheet totalling AED 19,221, and separate Science and Commerce sheets showing the AED 15,812 tuition with no mandatory charges listed. The figure above follows the same basis as every other year group. Uniform, transport and trips are charged separately.
