What the numbers say about Nad Al Sheba
Fees in Nad Al Sheba are above the city median. Dubai’s median mid-range fee is AED 43,956; in Nad Al Sheba it is AED 74,856, roughly 70% higher. Everything on this page is computed from the register rather than written as description, so it changes when the data does.
- Highest rated here: GEMS Modern Academy, Repton School Dubai. A strong rating is a starting point, not a match - check the inclusion judgement separately on each page, because they differ.
- Most affordable listed: Kings School Nad Al Sheba at around AED 69,748 mid-range. Tuition is never the whole cost - see what a Dubai school year really costs before you budget on that figure.
- Inclusion: 7 of the 8 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.
