Contacting the school
Ask us and we will ask them

We hold this school's details and put questions to it for parents - fees for a year group, whether there is a place, what happens next. KHDA's own page for the school, linked below, carries its published contact details if you would rather go direct.

In context

Its mid-range fee is about 32 per cent below the median for British (NCfE) schools in this guide (AED 52,500). It is one of 85 schools in this guide currently rated Good.

Worth comparing: The Millennium School (AED 18,278 to 26,876 a year) - a lower-fee option in the same area.

These comparisons are computed from the verified data in this register, not editorial opinion.

What the inspectors said

Paraphrased from the last full DSIB inspection we could verify (2023-24 cycle) and its published record - read the complete report on the official KHDA directory. These findings are from the 2023-24 cycle and are now more than two years old. Leadership, staffing and provision can change substantially in that time - see the note below on why every rating in Dubai is older than it looks.

Strengths the inspectors named:

  • Good overall with a Very Good inclusion rating - above the school’s overall judgement, which for a family whose child needs support is the more relevant number.
  • The Foundation Stage is the standout: rated Very Good by inspectors across all performance indicators.
  • Accredited by both BSO and BSME, giving external validation of its British curriculum delivery independent of KHDA - and running the full FS1 to Year 13 pathway with IGCSE, A Level and BTEC.
  • Mid-range fees of roughly AED 23,000 to 48,000 at 2025-26 discounted rates make it one of the more accessible genuine British-curriculum options in Al Qusais.
  • Parents describe a school small enough that teachers know their child, with facilities of a larger institution.

What they asked the school to improve:

  • Good overall means the phases above Foundation Stage do not yet match the Early Years - ask specifically about Primary and Secondary rather than judging the school on its FS rating.
  • Founded in 2014, so its A Level and BTEC track record is still relatively short - ask to see results and cohort sizes.
  • The quoted fees are discounted 2025-26 rates: confirm in writing what the approved rate is and when the discount ends.

Inclusion (students of determination): Very Good - above the school’s Good overall rating, and the school treats it as a defining feature rather than a footnote, describing a genuine commitment to students of all abilities. Combined with a Very Good Foundation Stage across all indicators and BSO and BSME accreditation, this is one of the stronger inclusion propositions in the mid-fee British bracket. Ask which of the four statutory inclusion roles are filled and by whom, and what is charged beyond standard tuition. See the special educational needs guide for the questions to ask on a visit.

Inspector summaries are being added school by school as each report is read - 221 of 230 so far, dated per cycle, never invented. A school without a summary yet is unread, not unjudged.

Visit kit

Questions worth asking on a tour - tuned to this school’s rating and curriculum:

  • Who leads inclusion here - and may we meet them before enrolling?
  • How much staff turnover did you have last year, and why?
  • What are actual class sizes this term - not the maximum?
  • How and how often will I hear about my child’s progress?

What we don't know about this school

Every other page on this site tells you what we have verified. This one tells you what we have not, because a register you cannot calibrate is worth less than one you can. We do not currently hold:

  • whether it is co-educational, boys or girls
  • how many children are on roll
  • its facilities - sports, arts, science, library
  • published exam results or university destinations
  • what registration, transport, uniform and meals add to the fee
  • the year it opened - the figure we held was wrong on every school we checked

None of it is guessed or filled in from a similar school. Ask for any of it using the form below and it moves up the queue - requests are how we decide what to collect next.

Ask this school a question - we'll do the asking

Tell us the year group, and we will ask Capital School Dubai what it costs, whether there is a place, and what the next step is. Then we send you what they say. Every answer we get is also checked into this school's record, so the next parent finds it already here.

Your details stay with us. We contact the school ourselves, and we do not pass your name or address to them, or to any agent, unless you ask us to. No school pays to appear in this guide, and none can pay to change what it says.

Would rather do it yourself? KHDA's page for this school, linked above, carries the contact details the school has registered with the regulator. We answer requests in the order they arrive, and we will tell you if a school does not reply - which is itself worth knowing before you apply.
