Al Arqm Private School

Al Arqm Private School offers a Ministry of Education curriculum from KG 1 through Grade 12, with tuition fees for the 2025/2026 academic year ranging from AED 8,601 for KG 1 up to AED 18,346 for Grade 12. These fees position the school at the more affordable end of Dubai's private school market, making it an accessible option for families seeking an Arabic-medium, MOE-curriculum education. In addition to tuition, the school charges a resource and alignment fee (رسوم المواءمة والموارد) and, for most grades, an external examinations fee of AED 350 per year.

The published tuition fees do not include transportation, textbooks and stationery, or school uniform costs. Families should budget separately for these items: books and stationery range from AED 1,000 to AED 1,800 depending on grade level, and school bus service (two-way) is available at AED 6,500 or AED 7,200 per year depending on the zone. A uniform fee of AED 190 (excluding VAT) applies across all grade levels. A graduation ceremony fee applies for KG 1, KG 2, and Grade 12 students.

The school requires families to submit an additional cheque dated 1 September covering books, uniform, and other fees. Students will not be able to receive their uniform, books, or use the school bus until the relevant subscription fees have been received before the start of each term. Fees paid for books, uniform, IELTS tests, and Cambridge certificates are non-refundable.
