Fees & Value for Money
AL Ahliah Charity Private School – Branch Al Jazzat (Boys) offers competitive tuition fees for the 2025/2026 academic year, covering Grades 5 through 8. Annual tuition fees range from AED 4,721 for Grades 5 and 6 to AED 5,418 for Grade 8, reflecting a modest increase as students progress through the middle school years. When combined with textbook fees, the total annual cost ranges from AED 5,254 to AED 6,009, making this school one of the more affordable private school options in the Sharjah region.
Transportation is available as an optional add-on. Bus fees within Sharjah are AED 2,800 per year, while transport from Ajman is priced at AED 3,100 per year. These costs bring the all-inclusive annual total to between AED 8,054 and AED 9,109 depending on the grade and transport option selected. Textbook fees, which range from AED 533 to AED 591 per year, are paid in full upfront at the time of registration or re-registration.
Fees are structured across three installments — 40% before the start of the academic year, followed by two payments of 30% each in December 2025 and March 2026. A registration fee of AED 500 applies for both new and returning students, which is deducted from the tuition fees but is non-refundable in the event of withdrawal. Parents are also responsible for any fee adjustments mandated by the Ministry of Education.

The Final Verdict: Who Is This School For?
THE “RIGHT FIT”
Families in Al Jazzat, Sharjah, or Ajman seeking an affordable, MoE-aligned private school for boys in Grades 5-8, who prioritise cost accessibility and a structured Arabic-medium learning environment over premium facilities or internationally benchmarked outcomes.
THE “WRONG FIT”
Families who require a published SPEA inspection rating to benchmark quality, who are seeking a broad extracurricular programme, English-medium instruction, or who expect the level of transparency and digital communication infrastructure typical of higher-fee private schools in Sharjah.
For our budget, there was no better option in the area. The school is straightforward - it does what it says it will do, and the fees are honest.
