Al Dhabiania Private School

Al Dhabiania's school fees 2026 position it as one of the most affordable private schools in Abu Dhabi education, with tuition ranging from AED 9,840 for KG1 to AED 17,910 for Grades 10-12. These figures are set and published via the ADEK/TAMM official fee portal and represent ADEK-approved rates for the 2025-2026 academic year. For context, the average private school fee in Abu Dhabi across all curricula is significantly higher - making Al Dhabiania a genuine outlier in terms of affordability within the private sector. Beyond tuition, families should budget for bus transport at AED 5,000 per year - a flat rate across all grade levels. Book fees vary by grade, ranging from AED 210 in KG1 to AED 950 in Grades 7 and 8, with no book fees listed for Grades 9-12 in the official fee data. No uniform fees are listed in the ADEK fee schedule, though families should confirm current uniform requirements directly with the school. The school is operated by the Family Development Foundation, a government-linked not-for-profit entity, which explains the deliberately accessible fee structure - this is not a commercially driven pricing model. Specific information on sibling discounts, scholarships, bursaries, and payment installment structures is not published on the school's official website, and families should contact the school directly at 02 6678282 to confirm current policies. Registration dates for new students run from April 15 to May 15 annually. From a value-for-money perspective, the editorial verdict is straightforward: at AED 9,840-17,910, Al Dhabiania offers a full KG1-Grade 12 MoE curriculum, a Good ADEK rating, a warm pastoral environment, and a well-stocked library at a price that is genuinely hard to match in Abu Dhabi's private school market. The trade-off is that facilities are not premium, international benchmark results need improvement, and the school does not offer the breadth of ECAs or specialist programmes found at higher-fee institutions. For families where affordability is a primary consideration and cultural alignment with the MoE curriculum is valued, this represents strong value.
