Annual tuition is shown in each source’s local currency. Tax treatment, included services, residency conditions and exclusions can differ. The tables do not establish an all-in cost, and an unlisted year group has no verified amount here.

6 of 6 reviewed schedules match this published label selection.

Choose up to three schools. Changing the band removes schools without a matching published amount.

Build your first-year budget

Start with one annual tuition band and add costs you confirm with that school. The worksheet uses its published local currency and stays in your browser. Check the source note for included services and taxes before adding them again.

Use the school’s listed band; this selection does not confirm age eligibility or a place. Changing the selection clears your entered costs.

Confirmed additional costs

Enter annual amounts for recurring costs and the amount due for one-time entry charges. Enter 0 only after confirming there is no additional charge. Leave unconfirmed costs blank.

Select a tuition band to begin. No costs are assumed.

Refundable deposits affect cash needed at enrolment and are separate from this cost estimate. Any discounts, future fee changes and exchange costs need separate confirmation.

Other schools in this collection

A missing amount does not mean a school is free or outside your budget.

Confirm your child’s entry year

Published bands can group several years or include a specific applicant rate. We keep those labels intact. The same number in a “Year” and a “Grade” does not establish equivalent placement. Check UAE 2026/27 first-entry ages for early years through Grade 1, then confirm transfers, assessments and available places with the school.
