Value for Money
American Academy for Girls (AAG) offers a structured fee schedule for the 2025/26 academic year, ranging from AED 36,485 for Pre-KG up to AED 65,270 for Grades 9–12. Fees are split across three terms, with Term 1 carrying the largest portion (approximately 40%) and Terms 2 and 3 sharing the remainder equally. The school's fee structure conforms with KHDA regulations in the UAE, and the school holds a consistent Good overall DSIB rating, reflecting strong value for the fees charged.
The school provides books on a loan basis, meaning families are not required to purchase textbooks outright, which reduces ancillary costs. Additional costs include a one-time application fee of AED 525 (inclusive of 5% VAT), a registration fee for new students, and optional expenses such as school bus transport, uniforms, and extra-curricular activities. A 10% sibling discount on tuition is available for the third and subsequent child in a family attending any Taaleem school in Dubai, making AAG a competitive choice for larger families within the Taaleem network.
Payments can be made by cash, credit card (MasterCard and Visa only), bank transfer, or cheque. Emirates NBD and Mastercard credit card holders may also convert school payments into 0% instalment plans. Term 1 fees are due by 2nd August, Term 2 by 6th December, and Term 3 by 14th March, giving families a clear and predictable payment schedule throughout the academic year.
