British International School Ajman

BIS publishes a transparent, detailed fee structure that covers tuition, books, and uniforms - a level of fee clarity that is commendable and relatively uncommon among Ajman private schools. Annual tuition fees range from AED 11,000 at KG1 to AED 22,000 at Grade 12, placing BIS firmly in the affordable-to-mid-range bracket for British curriculum schools in the UAE. For context, British curriculum schools in Dubai and Abu Dhabi at comparable accreditation levels typically charge AED 35,000 to AED 70,000 per year for secondary students - making BIS a compelling value proposition for families seeking a Cambridge-accredited British education without the premium price tag of the larger emirates. The fee structure includes a meaningful sibling discount: the third child receives a 10% reduction on tuition fees across all year groups, though notably the second child pays the same fee as the first. Book fees are separately charged and range from AED 650 for KG1 and KG2 to AED 2,000 for Grade 10, with Grade 11 and Grade 12 book fees not specified in the published structure. A uniform fee of AED 350 plus 5% VAT applies across all year groups from KG1 to Grade 12. The registration fee of AED 500 is non-refundable but is adjustable against the first term's tuition fees. Payment is structured across three terms: the first term is paid in cash (with credit card and current-date cheques accepted), and two post-dated cheques are collected at the time of first-term payment for the second and third terms respectively. The refund policy is clearly defined and tiered by attendance duration, which protects families who need to withdraw early in the academic year. No formal scholarship or bursary programme is published on the school website. Overall, the school fees 2026 position BIS as one of the best-value Cambridge-accredited British curriculum schools in the northern UAE, particularly for families with multiple children.
