Alia International School

Alia International Private School sits at the most affordable end of the Al Ain private school fee spectrum, with annual tuition ranging from AED 10,000 at KG1 to AED 23,000 at Grade 12 for the 2025/26 academic year. These are ADEK/TAMM-approved fee levels, and they position the school as a genuinely budget-accessible option for families in Al Dhahir and surrounding areas - particularly for the large Emirati community it serves. In addition to tuition, families should budget for bus transport (AED 3,000 annually across all grades), books (AED 1,800-3,000 depending on grade), and uniforms (AED 500 per year). Total annual cost per student therefore ranges from approximately AED 15,300 at KG1 to approximately AED 29,500 at Grade 12 when all mandatory additional costs are included. Compared to peer American curriculum schools in Al Ain, AIPS fees are at the lower end of the market. Most comparable American curriculum schools in the emirate charge between AED 20,000 and AED 45,000 for primary grades. The school's fee level reflects its modest facilities, small scale, and current ADEK rating. Value for money is difficult to endorse at this time: while the fees are low in absolute terms, the combination of a Weak ADEK rating, Very Weak MAP attainment scores, 100% staff turnover, and scarce technology resources means that families are not receiving a proportionate return on their educational investment. The school does not publicly advertise sibling discounts, scholarships, or bursary programmes, though families are encouraged to contact the school directly. Payment terms and installment structures are not publicly detailed on the school website.
