Al Saad Indian Private School

Al Saad Indian School's school fees 2026 position it as one of the most affordable CBSE schools in Al Ain, with annual tuition ranging from AED 9,520 at Preschool/KG level to AED 15,670 for Grades 11 and 12. This fee range, confirmed by ADEK's TAMM portal for the 2025-2026 academic year, is substantially below the Al Ain average for private schools and represents genuine value for a school holding a Very Good ADEK rating with Outstanding health and safety. For context, many comparable CBSE schools in the Abu Dhabi education market charge significantly more, and the school's PIRLS and PISA performance data suggests academic outcomes that exceed what the fee level might lead parents to expect. The fee structure is divided into three terms: Term 1 (April to June), Term 2 (September to December), and Term 3 (January to March), with payment due before 22nd March, 22nd June, and 15th December respectively. Payment is accepted by crossed current-dated cheques only, drawn in favour of Al Saad Indian School - a notably traditional payment method that may be inconvenient for families accustomed to online or card payment. Late payment incurs a charge of AED 10 per day, and LMS access is suspended one month after the start of each term if fees remain outstanding. Additional costs include transport (AED 3,675 per year), books (AED 500-700 depending on grade), and uniform (AED 120). A registration fee applies for new admissions: AED 500 + VAT for LKG, and AED 300 + VAT for Pre-KG and Grades 1-3. An enrolment fee of 5% of total tuition applies for new KG to Grade 3 students, adjusted against Term 2 fees. The school's overall cost of attendance - tuition plus transport, books, and uniform - ranges from approximately AED 13,815 to AED 20,165 per year, which remains highly competitive within the Al Bateen schools landscape and the broader Al Ain private school market.
