All curriculum books and materials are included within the tuition fee, providing families with transparency and predictability in their annual education costs.

Tuition fees do not include uniform, food services, transport, examination fees, or extra-curricular activities run by external providers outside school hours. However, most teacher-led extra-curricular activities (ECAs) are included at no additional charge. The school's bus service, provided by Emirates Transport, is available at AED 5,000 per year for a return journey, subject to ADEK approval. Uniforms are available for purchase at Magrudy, Al Wahda Mall, or online, with an estimated cost of AED 400.

To support families in managing tuition payments, the school offers 0% installment plans through leading banks including FAB, ADIB, and ENBD, allowing parents to spread costs over monthly installments via credit card. Fees are split across three terms, with Term 1 accounting for approximately 40% and Terms 2 and 3 each accounting for approximately 30% of the annual fee. For 2025–2026, a non-refundable registration fee of 5% of the annual tuition fee applies to new joiners, adjustable against the final term's invoice, in line with ADEK guidelines.
