Value for Money
GEMS Cambridge International School – Abu Dhabi (Bani Yas) offers a British curriculum education with tuition fees for the 2025–2026 academic year ranging from AED 23,060 for Pre-School (FS1) up to AED 40,340 for Year 12 and Year 13. All fees are approved by the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) and are structured across three terms: Term 1 (September–December), Term 2 (January–March), and Term 3 (April–June), with Term 1 accounting for approximately 40% of the annual fee and Terms 2 and 3 each accounting for approximately 30%.
In addition to tuition, families should budget for transport (AED 5,000 per year) and uniform costs (ranging from AED 355 to AED 395 depending on year group). A new admission fee equivalent to 5% of annual tuition is payable upon acceptance of an offer letter; this is non-refundable but is adjustable against the first term's fees. Similarly, a re-enrollment fee of 5% of the following year's fees is required to secure a place for returning students. The school partners with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), offering a GEMS World Credit Card that provides up to 3% savings on annual tuition paid upfront, plus 10% back on school expenses.
GEMS Cambridge International School is committed to delivering exceptional value through strong academic outcomes, a broad extra-curricular programme, and transparent fee governance under ADEK's School Fee Framework. Tuition fees are invoiced two months prior to the start of the academic year, with payments due on or before the 10th working day of August (Term 1), December (Term 2), and April (Term 3).
