What the numbers say about Muhaisnah
Fees in Muhaisnah are below the city median. Dubai’s median mid-range fee is AED 43,956; in Muhaisnah it is AED 19,473, roughly 56% lower. Everything on this page is computed from the register rather than written as description, so it changes when the data does.
- Highest rated here: Greenwood International School, Oxford School Dubai, Philadelphia Private School, Russian International School. A strong rating is a starting point, not a match - check the inclusion judgement separately on each page, because they differ.
- Most affordable listed: United International Private School at around AED 8,723 mid-range. Tuition is never the whole cost - see what a Dubai school year really costs before you budget on that figure.
- Inclusion: 13 of the 14 schools here carry a KHDA inclusion rating, shown on each school’s page separately from the overall rating. If your child needs support, read your rights first - a school cannot refuse admission on the basis of special educational needs, and a refusal must be filed with KHDA within two working days.

Before you shortlist by district
Choosing by area is how most families start and it is rarely how they finish. The distance that decides your mornings is the one between the schools your children actually attend, not from home to each - our two-school tool gives you that in one click. And if a bus is likely, confirm your address sits inside a served zone before accepting a place: routes run to fixed pick-up points, not door to door. What the bus really costs explains the rest.
