Value for Money
Sharjah English School is an independent, not-for-profit private school in the Emirate of Sharjah, offering a British curriculum from FS1 through to Year 13. Annual tuition fees for the 2025/26 academic year range from AED 28,420 for FS1 (Pre-KG) up to AED 72,765 for Year 12 and Year 13, reflecting the school's commitment to providing high-quality education across all stages. All fees are exclusive of VAT and are payable on a termly basis before the start of each term.
School fees at SES are notably inclusive — they cover all books, medical services, and classroom supplies, meaning families face fewer unexpected costs throughout the year. Secondary students are expected to provide their own stationery, and costs such as school uniform, bus transport, examination fees, and school trips are not included in the tuition fee. As a not-for-profit institution, SES does not operate any hidden or additional tuition fees, and any profit from school trips is refunded to parents.
A one-time non-refundable registration fee of AED 400 applies upon application, along with a refundable security deposit of AED 5,000 per child, which can be applied against the final term's fees upon leaving the school. Families with three or more children benefit from a 10% sibling discount on term tuition fees for the eldest child or children, making SES a cost-effective choice for larger families.
