For this page, we use AED 30,000 per year (average across all year groups) as the cap. Fees in Dubai range from under AED 10,000 at budget schools to over AED 100,000 at premium ones, so AED 30K sits clearly in the lower half of the market.
Yes. We exclude schools rated Acceptable or Weak — every school listed here holds a current KHDA rating of Good or better. 8 are rated Very Good.
New Indian Model School is the lowest-fee option that still meets our rating threshold, at AED 6,117 per year on average.
Most KHDA-registered schools charge fees on top of tuition: registration fee (one-off, AED 500-3,000), uniform, books, transport, and sometimes a refundable deposit. Always ask the school for the full fee schedule before applying.
Schools are sorted by KHDA rating first (Outstanding → Very Good → Good), then by lowest average fee within each rating band. See our methodology for how we score schools overall.
