Belvedere International School

Belvedere International School's school fees 2026 range from AED 26,600 for FS2 to AED 32,500 for Years 12 and 13, as approved by ADEK and published on the school's official fees page. This positions the school firmly in the lower-to-mid range of British-curriculum schools in Al Ain and across Abu Dhabi's private school market - a meaningful consideration for families comparing options in the Hili area. Crucially, textbooks are included in the tuition fee, which removes a common additional cost burden. Transport is available at a flat AED 4,750 per year, and external board examination fees (IGCSE and A Level) are charged separately, with a dedicated fee schedule published on the school website. Fees are payable in three installments: 40% due by 15 August, 30% by 15 December, and 30% by 15 March. A non-refundable registration fee of 5% of the annual tuition fee is deducted from the first installment. This structure is standard across Abu Dhabi private schools and provides manageable payment staging across the academic year. The school has publicly referenced scholarship availability via its social media channels, though specific eligibility criteria, award values, and application processes are not fully documented on the school website - a transparency gap that prospective families should raise directly with the admissions team. On a value-for-money basis, the fee level is appropriate given the current ADEK Acceptable rating and the academic outcomes evidenced in the 2024 inspection. Parents are not paying premium prices - and should not expect premium outcomes. For families in the Hili catchment who prioritise an affordable British-framework education with a strong pastoral culture, the fees represent reasonable value. However, families investing in a British curriculum specifically for strong IGCSE results and university placement outcomes may find better value at higher-rated schools, even at a higher price point. The inclusion of textbooks and the competitive transport fee are genuine positives in the overall cost calculation.
