Value for Money
Dubai British School Mira offers the British curriculum across its year groups, with tuition fees for the 2025–26 academic year ranging from AED 51,477 for Foundation Stage and lower primary (FS1 through Year 2) up to AED 77,217 for Sixth Form (Years 12–13). The fee structure is divided into three terms, with Term 1 carrying a higher proportion of the annual fee. This tiered pricing reflects the increasing resource requirements and specialist teaching across different phases of education.
In addition to tuition, new students are required to pay a one-time application fee of AED 525 (inclusive of 5% VAT) and a registration fee of AED 4,000, which is credited against the first term's tuition. The school also collects KHDA administration fees on behalf of the regulatory authority for services such as student transfers, certificate attestations, and visa-related documentation. External examination fees for secondary students may apply and will be communicated in advance.
Fees are payable termly, with Term 1 due by 2nd August, Term 2 by 1st December, and Term 3 by 1st March. The school accepts cash, credit card (Visa and MasterCard), bank transfer, and cheque. A registration fee of AED 4,000 is required to secure a place and is deductible from the first term's fees. The school's fee levels are broadly in line with other British curriculum schools in Dubai, positioning it as a competitive option within the mid-to-upper range of the market.
