Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Tuition for 2026-2027 as published by the school, which follows the Philippine curriculum. A compulsory charge applies to every year group on top of tuition, itemised by the school as books, uniform, laboratory, sports and art, and scouting: about AED 926 in kindergarten rising to AED 1,659 in Grade 12, so a Grade 12 place costs AED 13,649 a year rather than AED 11,990. Senior high school runs a single academic track, science, technology, engineering and mathematics, so there is one Grade 12 price. New students pay a AED 500 application fee covering assessment plus an enrolment fee of up to 10 per cent of tuition deducted from the first term; returning students pay up to 5 per cent or AED 500, whichever is higher. There is no general discount. Reductions are conditional: 5 per cent for a second child rising to 25 per cent for a sixth, 10 per cent for paying the full year a week before term starts, and scholarships of 10 to 15 per cent for the top three ranked students in each grade from Grade 4 to Grade 11. The school publishes no refund policy.
