Value for Money

The Australian School of Abu Dhabi (ASAD) offers an International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum for the 2025–2026 academic year, with annual tuition fees ranging from AED 15,600 for KG1 and KG2 through to AED 37,030 for Grades 11 and 12. The fee structure is tiered across three broad phases — Early Years, Primary, and Secondary — reflecting the increasing resources and programme complexity at each stage. This positions ASAD competitively within the IB school landscape in Abu Dhabi.

In addition to tuition, families should budget for transport (AED 4,428 per year), uniform costs of AED 500 for KG–Grade 5 and AED 700 for Grades 6–12, and books ranging from AED 1,500 in the lower years to AED 2,500 in secondary. These additional costs are clearly published and consistent across the school, allowing families to plan comprehensively from the outset.

ASAD's fee structure reflects its commitment to inclusive, globally minded education delivered through the full IB continuum — PYP, MYP, and DP. The school's transparent fee schedule, verified by ADEK for the 2025–2026 academic year, provides families with confidence that costs are regulated and aligned with the quality of education offered.
