Al Zehour Private School - branch Muwailih, Sharjah

Al Zehour Private School occupies the affordable end of the American curriculum Sharjah fee spectrum. The SPEA inspection confirms a fee range of AED 11,000 to AED 23,000 for the 2025-2026 academic year, approved by SPEA for AY 2025-26. This positions the school firmly as a value-oriented choice within the Muwailih schools landscape - significantly below the AED 40,000-70,000+ fees charged by premium American curriculum schools in Sharjah and Dubai. Tuition fees include the cost of books, which reduces the total cost of attendance compared to schools that charge separately for learning materials. Examination fees - including AP, SAT, and other College Board assessments - are not included in the tuition fee and must be paid separately at the time of registration. For families with multiple children, the school's priority admissions policy for siblings reduces the administrative burden of securing places, though specific sibling discount percentages are not published on the school website. Payment terms follow the standard Sharjah private school structure of termly installments, though the precise split is not publicly detailed and should be confirmed directly with the admissions office. The school's fee level, combined with its Cognia and NEASC dual accreditation and SPEA Good rating, represents genuine value for money - particularly for families where the American curriculum pathway and a community-oriented school culture are the primary selection criteria. Parents seeking elite academic outcomes comparable to premium international schools should calibrate expectations accordingly: this is a solid, improving school at an accessible price point, not a high-fee prestige institution.
