Dubai school fees, lowest to highest
All 230 schools grouped by their mid-range annual fee. Ranges cover different year groups - younger years usually sit at the bottom of a range. KHDA has frozen fees for 2026-27, so listed levels should hold for the coming year. Budget a further 15 to 30 per cent for transport, uniforms, deposits and trips.

Very Good Fees not published (110 schools)
What happens when the fee freeze ends
Fees are frozen for 2026-27. That is one year, and most families are
committing for a decade - so the mechanism behind the freeze matters more than the freeze itself.
Better-rated schools are allowed to charge more. KHDA sets an annual Education
Cost Index, and how much of it a school may apply is tied to its inspection
rating : Outstanding schools may raise fees by the largest multiple, then Very Good, then Good.
Schools rated Acceptable or below get no automatic increase.
The consequence is worth sitting with. The school you choose
because it is Outstanding is also the school entitled to raise its fees fastest. Over
fourteen years that gap compounds, and no fee table on any site shows it.
One further wrinkle: KHDA paused full inspections in
2024-25 and 2025-26 and resumed visits in 2026-27, a school at a time. Most schools therefore still carry their 2023-24 rating -
which means a three-year-old inspection is still setting what a school may charge.
The multiplier is recalculated every year from the Education Cost Index, so we do not
print a fixed percentage here - it would be out of date within a year. The index was reported at
2.35% for 2025-26. Confirm the current framework and your school’s entitlement on the
official KHDA site before budgeting.
