Sharjah American International School (SAIS) offers a comprehensive American curriculum education with fees for the 2025–2026 academic year ranging from AED 18,732 for KG1 through to AED 36,060 for Grade 12. The fee structure reflects a clear progression across grade levels, with Foundation Stage fees being the most accessible entry point and Upper Secondary (Grades 10–12) representing the highest investment. The fees quoted from the SPEA schedule include both tuition and books, and a uniform cost of AED 700 applies uniformly across all grade levels.
SAIS provides families with flexible payment options including cash, credit card (Visa or Mastercard), current or post-dated cheques, and wire transfer. Fees can be paid in installments aligned with school terms, and an early payment discount is available for families who settle the full annual fee before the start of Term One. The registration fee paid upon enrollment is deducted from the tuition fees, making the initial outlay more manageable for new families.
The school maintains a transparent fee policy governed by KHDA regulations, with individual grade-level fact sheets published on the KHDA website for full transparency. Families should note that the registration fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, and that school books and uniforms are also non-refundable. Wire transfer payments must account for any bank charges, which are the responsibility of the parent or guardian.
