Adnoc Schools - Ghayathi - Branch 3

ADNOC Schools Ghayathi sits at the more accessible end of the Abu Dhabi private school fee spectrum. School fees 2026 range from AED 23,740 at Preschool and KG1 level to AED 44,980 at Grade 12 - though it is important to note that the Ghayathi campus currently only operates up to Grade 7 (AED 36,250). The fee structure is transparent and published via ADEK's TAMM platform, with incremental increases by grade that reflect the increasing resource intensity of upper primary and middle school education. The registration fee is set at 5% of the annual tuition fee, payable upon acceptance - a standard and reasonable practice across Abu Dhabi private schools. Additional costs are clearly itemised: bus transport is AED 5,000 per year (flat rate across all grades), books range from AED 1,280 to AED 2,870 depending on grade, and uniforms are AED 500 annually. Parents of students requiring Special Education Services should note a significant additional cost: an extra 50% of tuition fees is charged for students receiving SEN support, unless the family provides their own shadow teacher. This is disclosed in the admissions policy and is a meaningful financial consideration for families of students of determination. The school accepts payment via the PayIt digital platform, and the fee structure implies a standard termly installment arrangement aligned with Abu Dhabi's three-term academic calendar. Sibling priority is given in the admissions process, and the school's FAQ confirms that sibling status is a factor in waitlist priority - though no explicit sibling fee discount is publicly documented. Compared to Abu Dhabi city American curriculum schools, where fees can reach AED 70,000-90,000+ at equivalent grade levels, Ghayathi's fee structure represents genuine value - particularly given the ADNOC institutional backing, the Good ADEK rating, and the Outstanding pastoral care provision.
