Beaconhouse Al Khaleej International School

BAKIS publishes a transparent and detailed fee schedule for 2025-26 on its website, which is commendable - many Sharjah schools do not. Annual tuition fees range from AED 15,247 for Pre-KG to AED 26,675 for Grade 12, placing the school firmly in the mid-range band for American curriculum schools in Sharjah. These fees are subject to SPEA approval and may change. The fee structure follows a three-term payment model split 40/30/30, which eases the cash-flow burden compared to schools requiring two large payments. Books and uniforms are charged separately: book costs range from AED 513 at Pre-KG to AED 2,460 at senior level, and uniforms (including 5% VAT) add between AED 420 and AED 683 depending on the year group. Transport is optional and priced by zone: AED 4,500 for Sharjah, AED 5,000 for Ajman, and AED 6,000 for Dubai, also payable in three installments on the same 40/30/30 split. The school's fee page notes that scholarships are not currently available, though the school states it is working on a scholarship programme for future implementation. No sibling discounts are published on the school website. For a Cognia-accredited, College Board-affiliated American curriculum school offering AP from Grade 10 and a full Pre-KG to Grade 12 pathway, the fees represent reasonable value. Comparable American curriculum schools in Dubai typically charge 30-50% more for equivalent provision. The mid-range positioning means BAKIS is accessible to a broad range of families in Sharjah without compromising on the core academic infrastructure required for AP delivery.
