Child 1

KHDA approved 2026-2027 tuition runs AED 61,643 (FS1) to AED 106,475 (Years 12-13); after Sunmarke's published discount families actually pay AED 54,104 to AED 91,643. Approved fees are unchanged under the KHDA fee freeze, but the discount is smaller than in 2025-26 so payable fees are roughly 2 to 3.5 percent higher than last year.
