Scholarships & Bursaries
City School offers a comprehensive discount and scholarship framework including sibling discounts (5-15%), Early Bird discounts (AED 100-500), Loyalty Card discounts (20-25%), hardship support for job/business loss (10-15%), employee discounts for City School, READ, R Holding, and affiliated organisation staff (10-50%), and a referral reward of AED 200 for existing parents. Two scholarships cannot be combined except with the Early Bird Discount; the highest applicable discount takes precedence.
Value for Money
City School's fee structure for AY 2026-2027 is Ministry of Education-approved and sits firmly in the value band for Ajman private schools. Annual tuition fees range from AED 8,000 for KG1 through to AED 12,000 for Grades 11 and 12, with a discounted tuition fee structure that parents actually pay being somewhat lower than the Ministry-approved ceiling. The registration fee is AED 105 for new students, and re-registration for existing students is AED 600 (adjusted against tuition). Importantly, there is no application fee. Uniforms and books are charged separately. A monthly KG stay-back option is available at AED 150 per month on parent request.
Payment is structured across three installments: an initial non-refundable payment at registration, a second installment due by 30 June 2026, and a third by 1 December 2026. Payments are accepted via the school's mobile app, online parent portal, credit or debit card through Network International, cash or CDM deposit at any Commercial Bank of Dubai branch, and local bank transfer. The scholarship and discount framework is notably comprehensive. Sibling discounts range from 5% to 15% depending on birth order, with the youngest child in a multi-sibling family always receiving the highest discount (15%). An Early Bird Discount of AED 500 is available for full-year payment before 30 April 2026. A Loyalty Card discount (ESAAD, FAAZA) of 25% applies for KG1 to Grade 8 and 20% for Grades 9-12. Staff discounts for City School, READ, and R Holding employees are substantial, ranging from 10% to 50%. A referral discount of AED 200 is available for existing parents who refer new families.
Compared to peer schools in Ajman, City School is among the most affordable options. Delhi Private School averages around AED 12,750 annually, while Crown Private School averages approximately AED 30,640. At AED 8,000-12,000 for a full KG-12 CBSE school with a 500,000 sq ft campus, Robotics, Duke of Edinburgh, and dedicated performance spaces, the value-for-money assessment is strong. The honest caveat is that the discounted fees (what parents actually pay) are meaningfully lower than the Ministry-approved maximums listed, so parents should confirm the actual payable amount at the time of registration.
