French International Private School

EIFS publishes its fee schedule transparently on its website, with fees effective from 1 September 2025 and applicable for the 2025-2026 academic year. The fee structure follows the French curriculum's year group nomenclature - Petite Section (PS), Moyenne Section (MS), Grande Section (GS), CP, CE1, CE2, CM1, CM2, 6eme, 5eme, and the newly opening 4eme in September 2026. Annual fees range from AED 27,500 at the youngest level to AED 41,000 at the upper secondary entry level, placing EIFS firmly in the value-to-mid-range tier of Sharjah's private school landscape. For context, this fee range is significantly below the AED 60,000-100,000+ charged by larger British or American curriculum international schools in Sharjah and Dubai, while delivering a curriculum that carries the full weight of French government accreditation and AEFE network membership. The registration and re-registration fee is AED 1,000, but critically, this amount is deducted from the first-term tuition - meaning it functions as a place reservation fee rather than an additional cost, which is a parent-friendly policy. The school's admissions process is conducted entirely online through the Eduka platform, with a six-step process from initial registration through to confirmed admission. Admissions are open for 2026-2027 from Pre-KG (Petite Section) through to 4eme. No information is publicly available regarding sibling discounts, scholarships, or bursaries, and the school does not publish installment or payment term details on its website. Parents should contact the finance department directly at finances@eifs.education for payment structure information. Value for money at EIFS is strong: the combination of a 1:12 teacher-to-student ratio, fully French-licensed teaching staff, AEFE network membership, and a SPEA Very Good rating at fees well below comparable international schools makes this one of the more compelling value propositions in Sharjah education for the target demographic.
