Dar Al Marefa Private School

Dar Al Marefa Private School offers a comprehensive International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum as the only bilingual IB school in Dubai, with tuition fees for the 2025–2026 academic year ranging from AED 39,917 for Pre-KG through KG2, up to AED 81,880 for Grades 11 and 12. The school positions itself as offering affordable fees relative to the quality of its IB programme, and notably, all required books are included in the tuition fee, reducing the additional cost burden on families.

Fees are payable in three termly installments, with the first payment due on 15 August, the second on 15 December, and the third on 15 March. The split for each grade follows an approximate 40/30/30 ratio across the three terms. Families benefit from a sibling discount of 5% on the third child (youngest) and 10% on every subsequent child, making the school more accessible for larger families. Credit card holders can also convert school payments into 0% installments through a banking partnership.

The school has maintained a Good DSIB rating consistently since 2013–2014, reflecting strong value for the fees charged. Additional partnerships with select card providers offer further benefits to employees of affiliated organisations. With books included and a structured payment plan, Dar Al Marefa provides a transparent and family-friendly fee structure for its bilingual IB education.
