Scholarships & Bursaries

The Ambassador Scholarship and Bursary Programme is open to students in Grades 6 to 11. Scholarships are awarded to high-performing students in academics, leadership, sports, music, and performing arts. A Welfare Fund provides financial assistance to families who require support to continue their child's education. Enquiries should be directed to the admissions office.

Value for Money

AIA's fee structure is one of its most strategically important attributes. The school publishes both KHDA-approved fees and discounted fees for 2025-2026 - the discounted rates are the actual fees families pay, and they represent a meaningful reduction. At the entry level, Nursery/ECC fees are AED 34,015 (discounted from the KHDA-approved AED 47,255), and at the senior end, Year 12/Grade 11 and Year 13/Grade 12 fees are AED 74,500 (discounted from AED 93,297). This positions AIA firmly in the mid-market for a full IB continuum school - a category where comparable schools in Dubai often charge AED 80,000 to AED 100,000 or more at senior level. The registration fee is a non-refundable AED 500 per student. Transport is provided by third-party provider G1 Transport Services, with annual fees of AED 8,400 (both ways, Dubai) or AED 6,720 (one way). Sharjah routes are available at AED 13,200 annually. A structured sibling discount applies: 5% for a second child (2-child family), scaling to 2.5% for the eldest, 5% for the second, 7.5% for the third, 10% for the fourth, and 12.5% for the fifth child in larger families. The school also operates the Ambassador Scholarship and Bursary Programme, open to students in Grades 6 to 11, rewarding exceptional talent in academics, leadership, sports, music, and performing arts. A Welfare Fund assists families requiring financial support. Payment is structured across three terms aligned to the KHDA calendar. For school fees 2026 planning, families should note that KHDA-approved fees represent the ceiling - the discounted fees are those currently charged. Value for money at AIA is strong: the combination of a genuine IB continuum, UK-trained faculty, a 95% teacher retention rate, 100+ ECAs, and facilities including a Sky Lab and STEAM lab, at fees well below the Dubai IB average, makes this school a credible choice for cost-conscious families who do not want to compromise on curriculum quality.
