Ashabal Al Quds is among the most affordable private schools in Abu Dhabi, with ADEK-approved tuition fees for 2025-2026 ranging from AED 8,330 (KG1-KG2) to AED 16,550 (Grade 12). This positions the school firmly in the value segment of Abu Dhabi's private school market, well below the mid-range (AED 25,000-50,000) and far below premium international schools (AED 60,000-100,000+). For families seeking a credentialed, ADEK-regulated MoE curriculum education in Shakhbout City without the financial burden of higher-fee institutions, the value proposition is clear.
Beyond tuition, families should budget for transport (AED 4,562 annually) if using the school bus - a fixed cost across all grade levels. Book fees range from AED 300 (KG1) to AED 855 (Grade 7), declining to zero from Grade 9 upward. Uniform costs are AED 250 for KG through Grade 6 and AED 300 for Grades 7-12. These additional costs are transparent and modest relative to peer institutions.
The school's fee structure reflects a genuinely accessible pricing model, and the ADEK Good rating confirms that the education provided meets a regulated quality standard. However, parents should weigh the Acceptable mathematics attainment across all cycles and the below-international-average PISA and TIMSS scores against the low fee point. This is not a school for families whose primary goal is elite university placement or top-tier international academic benchmarking. It is, however, a credible and affordable choice for families who value UAE national curriculum delivery, Islamic values integration, and a stable, community-oriented school environment. No scholarship or bursary information is publicly available on the school's website; parents should inquire directly.
