Al Yasat Private School

Al Yasat Private School's school fees 2026 (published for AY2025-26) range from AED 34,200 at KG1 to AED 52,440 at Grades 9-12, placing the school squarely in the mid-range bracket for American curriculum schools in Abu Dhabi. These fees are inclusive of tuition and books as a combined charge per the school's own fee structure, though the ADEK/TAMM official breakdown separates tuition and book fees. Uniforms and transport are additional costs. The school charges an application fee of AED 500 for new students, and a reservation fee of AED 1,000 (applied toward tuition) to secure a place for the following year. The fee structure shows a logical progression: KG1 and KG2 are the most affordable entry points at AED 34,200, Grades 1-3 step up to AED 37,670-39,070, mid-primary and middle school years range from AED 41,590-43,860, and the senior school (Grades 9-12) reaches AED 52,440. Book fees are charged separately by ADEK's official fee schedule and range from AED 370 (KG) to AED 2,930 (Grade 12), reflecting the increased resource intensity of senior years and AP coursework. Bus transport is optional at a flat AED 5,000 per year regardless of grade, and uniform costs are AED 500-600 per year depending on phase. For value-for-money assessment, Al Yasat represents a credible mid-range proposition for families seeking an American curriculum pathway in Abu Dhabi's Al Shamkhah area. The school's Cognia accreditation, AP program, exceptional facilities (including a TV studio, aeronautics lab, and three libraries), and 90% university acceptance rate are genuine differentiators at this price point. Payment is structured across three terms (40% by August 1, 30% by December 1, 30% by March 1) and accepted by cash, card, cheque, or wire transfer. The school does not publicly advertise sibling discounts or merit scholarships on its website, though the 60% scholarship rate for graduates suggests strong university-level financial aid outcomes for high-achieving students.
