Questions parents ask

Before you enquire

How much are the fees?

With our current discount applied, tuition for AY 2026-27 ranges from AED 27,117 (FS1–Year 1) to AED 43,192 (Years 11–13). Before the discount, the ADEK-approved fees are AED 30,130 to AED 53,990. Books and resources are included. You can pay by term, and flexible monthly instalment plans are available on request.

What does the entry assessment involve?

It’s free, and it can be done at school or from home. For FS children it’s a relaxed playdate on campus, or a short video you record at home. Years 1–5 sit a short written assessment at school, or complete a take-home task. Year 6 and above take the CAT4 test — at school it takes about two hours, and there is an online version. Children with additional learning needs are always assessed in person.

Are classes mixed or separate?

The model changes with each stage. Classes are co-educational from FS1 through Year 5; boys and girls are taught separately in Years 6–9; Years 10–11 open up more collaborative learning; and the Sixth Form (Years 12–13) is coeducational.

Is there a school bus?

Yes — 29 areas across Abu Dhabi at AED 5,000 per year. Check your area using the selector above, or see the full route list.

Are books included in the fees?

Yes. Books and learning resources are fully included — there are no additional charges for materials.
