Arcadia Global School offers scholarships. Further details are available on the school's Scholarships page.
Arcadia Global School (operating as Arcadia British School) offers a British curriculum education from FS1 through Year 13, with KHDA-approved tuition fees for the 2025–2026 academic year ranging from AED 50,765 (FS1 after discount) to AED 81,732 (Years 10–11 after discount). The school applies significant discounts to its KHDA-approved fee schedule, with reductions ranging from 8% to 33% depending on the year group. Notably, Year 12 and Year 13 students benefit from a substantial 32.98% discount, bringing fees down to AED 64,481 per year.
The annual tuition fee is inclusive of textbooks (equivalent to AED 1,500 in value), a house shirt, and one complimentary teacher-led After-School Activity (ASA) for students in Year 3 and above. Fees are exclusive of field trips, school lunches, transport, Arcadia branded items, Apple iPad and Pencil (mandatory from Year 3), school uniform and PE uniform, and external qualification registration and examination fees. The school also offers a 2026–2027 fee structure with revised discounts, and families are encouraged to enrol before 31 March 2026 to benefit from the current discount structure.
Arcadia offers flexible payment options, allowing fees to be paid in three termly instalments or in ten equal monthly instalments from September to June. New admissions require a non-refundable application fee of AED 525, plus an admission deposit (AED 5,000 for Primary, AED 6,000 for Secondary, AED 7,500 for New Year entry), which is adjusted against the first term's fees. Existing students pay a re-registration deposit of AED 3,000, deducted from total tuition fees. The school also offers sibling discounts and additional corporate benefits for select company employees.
