Value for Money

The German International School Dubai (DISD) offers a German-curriculum education across all stages, with annual tuition fees for the 2025–2026 academic year ranging from AED 35,500 for Preschool (ages 3–4) up to AED 56,600 for Grades 11 and 12. Fees are approved by the KHDA (Knowledge and Human Development Authority), ensuring transparency and regulatory oversight. School books are included in the tuition fee, which represents strong value at this price point for a European-curriculum school in Dubai.

Fees are payable in three installments across the academic year: 40% due in August, 30% in January, and 30% in April. A one-off registration fee of AED 525 (inclusive of 5% VAT) is payable upon registration, and a non-refundable admission fee equivalent to 10% of annual tuition is required to secure a place. An annual re-enrollment fee of 5% of tuition is due in mid-April for returning students and is credited against the following year's fees.

Items not included in tuition fees include school trips, excursions, the school bus, uniforms (from Grade 1), canteen, iPad (from Grade 1), and CCA afternoon activities. A sibling discount of 20% is applied to the youngest child's fees from the third enrolled child onwards. The school accepts bank transfers, AED cheques, and cash payments.
