Arcadia Global School

Arcadia Global School (Arcadia British School) offers a UK National Curriculum education in Dubai, with tuition fees for the 2025–2026 academic year ranging from AED 50,765 (FS1, after a 25% discount) to AED 81,732 (Years 10–11, after a 13% discount). The school's KHDA-approved fees are subject to significant discounts across all year groups, making the effective fees considerably lower than the headline approved rates. Notably, Year 12 and Year 13 students benefit from a substantial 32.98% discount, bringing fees down to AED 64,481 per year.

The annual tuition fee is inclusive of several valuable benefits: one complimentary teacher-led After-School Activity (ASA) for students in Year 3 and above, textbooks (equivalent to AED 1,500 in value), and a house shirt. Additional costs not covered by tuition include field trips, school lunches, transport, Arcadia branded items, an Apple iPad and Pencil (mandatory from Year 3 upwards), school uniform and PE uniform, and external qualification registration and examination fees.

Arcadia offers flexible payment options, allowing fees to be paid in three termly instalments or spread across ten equal monthly instalments (September to June) via automatic bank debit or post-dated cheques. A sibling discount structure is in place, and the school also offers scholarships. New admissions require a non-refundable application fee of AED 525, plus an admission deposit (AED 5,000 for Primary, AED 6,000 for Secondary, or AED 7,500 for new year admissions), which is adjusted against the first term's fees.
