Approved & Discounted Dubai School Fees 2021

Dubai school fees for 2020-21, including the KHDA approved and discounted fees.

Dubai school fees for 2020-2021 have officially been held at the same levels as 2019-20, but with the arrival of a number of new schools on the scene, and greater competition for students, particularly at premium-fee schools, there are also many more discounts available than in previous years.

Please note, KHDA approved fees, and fees you will need to pay are two quite different things. With heightened competition between schools, Dubai's schools are offering a range of incentives to join - from scholarships, to founder discounts, a broad range of sibling discounts and discounted fees that are "sensitive to current market conditions".

Please also note that the fees indicated are the approved and discounted tuition fees. Almost all more affordable and some moderately priced schools will add extra fees for books, "resources", IT, medicals and uniforms among others. 

Please do check the full fee costs which, over time, can mount up to a considerable figure.

By contrast, many premium fee schools include almost everything a student might require, with the exception of uniforms, bus fees and exam entry fees.

Please also check the fees for the next academic year - although no overall fee increases have been approved, individual schools may seek approval for increases as a result of improvements to facilities or relocation. 

Parents should discuss fees with schools. Even if not published, discounts may well be available. 

Note: Where there are discounted fees, they are shown as the second figure at each school grade - Approved fee/Discounted Fee. The table also contains the current KHDA/DSIB school rating.
