Value for Money
Al Maaref Private School offers a comprehensive fee structure for the 2025–2026 academic year, covering tuition, books, uniforms, assessments, LMS access, and clinic services. Fees are set in accordance with KHDA-approved rates and range from AED 14,144 for KG1 to AED 39,007 for Grade 12 (total fees after discount). The school follows the American curriculum and has been operating since 1987, providing a well-established educational environment rated 'Acceptable' by KHDA in its most recent 2023–2024 inspection.
The total fees include several components beyond base tuition: books, uniforms, assessments, a Learning Management System (LMS) fee, and clinic access. Higher grades benefit from discounts applied to KHDA tuition fees — for example, Grade 9 receives a AED 500 discount, rising to AED 4,000 for Grade 12 — reflecting the school's effort to manage costs at the senior level. Sibling discounts of 5% on tuition are also available for families enrolling multiple children.
Payments are structured across three installments (40%/30%/30%), with books, uniforms, and other ancillary fees due with the first installment. An admission fee of AED 500 (non-refundable) applies to new students, along with a 10% deposit of annual tuition required within 7 days of receiving an offer. Current parents re-registering are required to pay a 5% deposit or AED 500, whichever is higher.
