Tuition Fees
Scholarships & Bursaries
SCHS operates an annual 'Your Zakat for Our Education' campaign during the holy month of Ramadan, through which zakat funds are collected and distributed to cover tuition fees for students with disabilities who are eligible under Islamic law. Eligibility is assessed by a specialised committee that reviews the financial and social circumstances of each family. In 2023, Dubai Islamic Bank donated AED 5 million in zakat funds to support SCHS students.
Value for Money
Al Amal School For The Deaf – Branch Eastern Region (Khorfakkan) is operated by Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services (SCHS) and provides specialised educational, rehabilitation, and training programmes for students with hearing disabilities. Annual tuition fees range from AED 30,000 for KG1 and KG2 through to AED 31,140 for Grade 11, reflecting the specialist nature of the support and services provided to each student. Fees cover tuition and books as a combined package; no separate uniform charge is listed.
SCHS notes that while the published fee schedule represents the standard tuition cost, the actual cost of educating a student with a disability can range between AED 20,000 and AED 80,000 per academic year depending on the type of disability and the level of therapeutic, educational, and family-support services required. The school's fee structure is therefore subsidised significantly, making specialist education accessible to families across the region.
A key feature of SCHS's funding model is its annual "Your Zakat for Our Education" campaign, through which zakat donations — including a AED 5 million contribution from Dubai Islamic Bank in 2023 — are used to cover tuition fees for eligible students who qualify under Islamic law. This philanthropic support ensures that financial hardship does not prevent students with disabilities from accessing the specialist education they need.
