Liwa International School For Girls - Al Ain - Al Bateen

LISG's school fees for 2025-2026 range from AED 33,350 for Pre-K, KG1, and KG2 through to AED 42,950 for Grades 9-12, placing the school firmly in the mid-range bracket for Al Ain private schools. These are tuition-only figures; parents should budget for additional costs including a compulsory uniform (AED 700-958 depending on grade, with 5% VAT applied), optional school transport at AED 3,627 per year, and a 5% non-refundable registration fee for new students (deducted from tuition). There are no book fees listed in the ADEK fee schedule. Payment is structured across three installments: 33% in August, 33% in December, and 29% in February - a split that broadly tracks the academic term structure and is manageable for most families. A 5% re-registration fee applies annually in April/May for returning students, also offset against the following year's tuition. Compared to the broader Al Ain and Abu Dhabi private school landscape, LISG's fees represent genuine value for a Very Good-rated, Cognia-accredited, all-girls American curriculum school. For context, equivalent American curriculum schools in Abu Dhabi city typically command fees 40-70% higher for comparable year groups. The school's dual swimming pools, Robotics Lab, and comprehensive specialist facility suite - delivered at this price point - strengthen the value proposition materially. The honest caveat is that international benchmark scores (PISA, TIMSS) remain below international averages, so parents prioritising measurable academic outcomes against global standards should weigh this carefully against the fee savings relative to higher-fee competitors.
