Abdulla Bin Zubair Private School

ABZ School's school fees in Al Ain for AY2025-26 are set by ADEK and represent the mid-range of the Al Ain private school market. Fees begin at AED 28,000 for KG1 and rise incrementally to AED 42,250 for Grades 7 and 8, reflecting a clear progression that is transparent and predictable for families planning multi-year enrolment. Book fees apply for KG1 through Grade 5 (ranging from AED 1,000 to AED 1,500 per year) and are not separately charged for Grades 6, 7, and 8, where they appear to be incorporated into the tuition fee. Bus and uniform fees are not listed in the official ADEK fee schedule, suggesting these are either not offered or charged separately outside the ADEK-regulated fee structure - families should confirm directly with the school. In the context of Al Ain's British curriculum school landscape, ABZ sits firmly in the mid-range price band. It is not a budget school - AED 28,000 for KG1 is a meaningful commitment - but it is substantially more affordable than premium British curriculum providers in Abu Dhabi city. For families in Al Maqam and surrounding areas seeking a British curriculum with Arabic cultural alignment and manageable fees, ABZ offers reasonable value, particularly given the school's TIMSS performance in mathematics and science. However, the Acceptable ADEK rating and documented challenges in teaching consistency mean that parents are not paying for a premium academic product, and this should be factored into any value assessment. The absence of a secondary pathway beyond Grade 8 also means families will incur transition costs and disruption at a relatively early stage.
