English Private School of Kalba

ESK's fee structure for 2025-2026 is published on the school's own website and positions the school firmly at the affordable end of the British curriculum Sharjah landscape. Fees range from AED 12,350 at FS1 and FS2 through to AED 23,175 for Year 13 - a spread that reflects the standard phase-based pricing common across SPEA-regulated schools. The entry-level fees are among the lowest available for a British curriculum school with IGCSE and A Level provision anywhere in Sharjah, making ESK a genuinely accessible option for Emirati and expatriate families on the East Coast. The fee progression is gradual through primary years, with a more notable step up at Year 10 (AED 18,375) and a further increase at Year 11 (AED 22,040) reflecting the IGCSE examination cycle costs embedded in the fee. Year 12 and 13 fees (AED 22,070 and AED 23,175 respectively) are exceptionally competitive for A Level provision in the UAE, where sixth form fees at comparable schools in Sharjah city frequently exceed AED 40,000. For families committed to keeping their child at one school from FS1 through to A Level, the total cost of education at ESK represents very strong value relative to peer British curriculum schools. Uniform costs are transparently published: a full set (two normal sets and one PE set) costs AED 420 plus 5% VAT. The school does not publish information about registration fees, transport arrangements, meal plans, exam fees, or sibling discount policies on its website. These are important additional cost items that parents must clarify directly with the admissions team. The absence of published payment terms and installment structures is a transparency gap. Given the school's community profile - predominantly Emirati families - it is likely that flexible payment arrangements are available, but this should be confirmed. No scholarship or bursary programme is advertised publicly. On a pure value-for-money basis, ESK delivers a SPEA Good-rated British curriculum education with Cambridge and Edexcel accreditation, A Level provision, and Very Good pastoral care at fees that are difficult to match in the region. The trade-off is a campus and enrichment offer that is less developed than premium-fee alternatives.
