Value for Money
The American International School in Abu Dhabi (AISA) offers an American curriculum education across all grade levels, with tuition fees ranging from AED 32,950 for KG1 to AED 59,900 for Grades 9–12. Fees are structured across three broad bands: KG1–KG2 for the early years, Grades 1–4 and 5–8 for primary and middle school, and Grades 9–12 for high school, reflecting the increasing resources and academic support provided at each stage. These fees are set in accordance with ADEK's fee policy for the 2025–2026 academic year.
In addition to tuition, families should budget for transportation fees of AED 5,000 per year if bus services are required, as well as a one-time non-refundable registration fee for new students (AED 2,000 for KG1–G4, AED 2,400 for G5–G8, and AED 2,800 for G9–G12), which is credited toward the first term's tuition. Uniform costs are modest, ranging from AED 210 to AED 220 depending on the grade level, and home delivery within Abu Dhabi is available for an additional AED 15 fee.
AISA follows ADEK's installment policy, requiring tuition to be split into a minimum of three equal installments per academic year, with the first installment collectible up to one month before the academic year begins. Families seeking more flexible arrangements — such as up to 10 monthly installments — may do so through a formal written agreement with the school. Accepted payment methods include cash (UAE Dirhams), cheque, bank wire transfer, and mobile payments via the Skiply app by RAK Bank.
