Amity International School

Amity International School's school fees 2026 run from AED 47,000 at Foundation Stage 1 (Nursery) to AED 66,220 in Years 10-13, with a structured three-tier fee increase as students progress through Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form. The fee schedule is ADEK-approved for AY2025-2026 and is stated to remain valid for future academic years unless replaced by a later approved schedule. Fees are split across three terms: Term 1 receives the largest share (40%), with Terms 2 and 3 each receiving 30%. In the context of Abu Dhabi's private school landscape, Amity sits in the premium price band - above mid-market schools but below the top tier of Outstanding-rated international schools charging AED 80,000-100,000+. For families comparing Al Bahyah schools, Amity's fee level is broadly consistent with its ADEK Very Good rating and the quality of its campus and pastoral provision. The value proposition is strongest for families with children in the primary and lower secondary years, where the ADEK-rated Very Good teaching and the breadth of facilities and ECAs represent genuine value. For families with children in Years 10-13, the Phase 4 academic regression noted by ADEK inspectors is a factor that should be weighed against the fee level. Additional costs include transport (AED 5,000 per year), uniforms (AED 500-750 depending on year group), and exam fees for external qualifications - the school publishes a separate exam fee schedule for AY2025/26. Trips and catering are additional. Notably, there are no textbook or materials charges - the school operates a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy, meaning families need to provide an appropriate device but will not be billed for books or classroom materials. This is a meaningful saving relative to schools that charge AED 1,500-3,000+ annually for books. A need-based Bursary Programme is available for families who cannot meet the full fee. Applications are made through a Confidential Statement of Financial Circumstances, reviewed by the Director of Admissions and the Principal. Bursaries are subject to annual review. No merit-based scholarships are publicly advertised. Fees can be paid at the school cashier, via the online payment portal, or through the Skiply application or bank transfer.
