Al Shohub Private School

Al Shohub's 2026-27 fee structure is straightforward and transparent, published directly on the school website. Fees range from AED 27,840 for FS1, FS2 and Year 1 to AED 33,420 for Years 2 through 6 - a modest step-up that reflects the transition from EYFS to primary. These are school fees Abu Dhabi parents will find genuinely competitive: at this fee level, Al Shohub is positioned as a mid-range British curriculum option in Khalifa City, significantly below the premium tier of British schools in Abu Dhabi that routinely charge AED 60,000-90,000+ for primary years. Fees are payable in three termly instalments: Term 1 (September to December) at 40% of annual tuition, Term 2 (January to March) at 30%, and Term 3 (April to June) at 30%. Due dates are 1 August, 1 December and 1 March respectively. A registration fee of AED 2,000 is charged on initial enrolment (deductible from tuition), and a re-registration fee of AED 2,000 applies annually to secure a place for the following year (also deductible). The school does not accept cash; payment is by bank transfer, cheque or card. For families with three or more children, sibling discounts apply: 4% rebate on annual tuition for the third child, 7% for the fourth child and 7% for the fifth child and above. A 4% referral benefit is also available for both the referring and referred family upon confirmed enrolment. Flexible 0% instalment plans are available through FAB, ADIB and ENBD credit cards, reducing the upfront payment burden for families. Additional costs beyond tuition include transport at AED 5,000 per year (return journey, via Emirates Transport), catering through Food Nation Catering Services (payable via cash at the canteen or the PayMint platform), uniform, and any extra-curricular activities provided by external providers. Books and examination fees are not listed as additional costs for this primary school. The value proposition is clear: at AED 27,840-33,420, families access Aldar Education network resources, a purpose-built campus with exceptional facilities, a British-trained teaching team, and the backing of Abu Dhabi's largest school group. For the fee bracket, this represents strong value - provided families are comfortable with the school's current improvement trajectory rather than expecting a fully established Outstanding-rated institution.
