Value for Money
Jumeira Baccalaureate School (JBS) offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum from Pre-KG through Grade 12, with tuition fees for the 2025/26 academic year ranging from AED 43,325 for Pre-KG up to AED 91,840 for Grades 11 and 12. Fees are structured across three terms, with Term 1 accounting for approximately 40% of the annual fee and Terms 2 and 3 each accounting for approximately 30%. This termly payment structure provides families with a manageable approach to school fee planning throughout the academic year.
In addition to tuition, families should budget for a one-time, non-refundable application fee of AED 525 (including VAT) for new students, and a non-refundable registration/deposit fee of AED 4,000 payable within 5 days of receiving an acceptance letter — this deposit is credited against Term 1 fees. Transportation is provided by a third-party operator (Arab Falcon Dubai) at variable rates depending on location. Uniforms are available from Magrudy Store in Jumeirah 1, and most ECAs led by teaching staff are included at no extra charge, though activities involving external coaches or transport may carry additional fees.
JBS offers a sibling discount of 10% on tuition fees for the third (youngest) and subsequent child in a family attending any Taaleem school in Dubai. Emirates employees benefit from additional perks, and credit card holders may be able to convert school fee payments into 0% instalment plans. Rated Very Good by DSIB in 2023–24, JBS represents strong value within Dubai's international IB school landscape, particularly given its outstanding ratings for inclusion, wellbeing, and curriculum quality.
