Al Andalus Private Academy

Al Andalus Private Academy's fee schedule, approved by ADEK for the 2025-2026 academic year, positions it firmly at the value end of Al Ain's private school market. Tuition begins at AED 5,890 for KG1 and scales progressively to AED 14,470 for Grades 11 and 12 - a range that makes it one of the most affordable MoE-curriculum private schools in the Al Ain region. For a family with children in Grade 6 and Grade 10, the combined annual tuition would be approximately AED 23,760, before additional costs. Additional costs are clearly structured and modest. The school bus service is priced at AED 2,925 per year across all grade levels - a flat rate that simplifies family budgeting. Books range from AED 210 (KG1) to AED 810 (Grade 4), with no book fees listed for Grades 9 through 12. Uniform costs are a flat AED 260 per year across all grades. These are among the lowest additional cost structures in Abu Dhabi's private school sector. For context, peer MoE-curriculum schools in Al Ain typically charge between AED 8,000 and AED 20,000 for secondary grades, making Al Andalus competitive even at the upper end of its fee range. The school does not publish information on scholarships, bursaries, or sibling discounts on its website, and the Irtiqa report does not reference such programs. Parents should contact the admissions office directly to confirm whether any fee reduction schemes are available. Payment terms and accepted methods are not published in available source material - again, direct enquiry is recommended. The value-for-money verdict is straightforward: for a ADEK-rated Very Good school with Outstanding Grade 12 results in core subjects, TIMSS scores above international averages, and a strong pastoral record, the fee level is genuinely exceptional. Families who prioritize Arabic-medium MoE education, Islamic values formation, and accessible fees in the Al Falaj Hazzaa area will find this school difficult to beat on a cost-per-quality basis. The caveat is that external benchmark performance in the lower cycles needs improvement - parents should factor this into their assessment.
