Cambridge International School (GEMS) in Dubai offers a British curriculum education from FS1 through Year 13, with tuition fees for the 2025–2026 academic year ranging from AED 23,795 for Foundation Stage to AED 36,775 for Years 12–13. Fees are structured in line with the KHDA School Fee Framework and are payable in three termly instalments: 40% in September, 30% in January, and 30% in April. The school holds a consistent Good DSIB inspection rating, offering strong value relative to its academic performance, particularly in English, Mathematics, and Science.
At the time of admission, families are required to pay a non-refundable application fee of AED 525 (inclusive of VAT) and a registration deposit of 10% of annual tuition fees, which is adjustable against the year's fees. Existing students re-enrolling for the following academic year are required to pay a re-registration deposit of 5% of annual tuition fees, also deductible from the first term's invoice. These upfront costs should be factored into the total cost of enrolment.
Parents paying annual fees in advance using the GEMS FAB Co-Branded Credit Card can save up to 3% on tuition, and benefit from 10% cashback on school-related expenses such as bus, canteen, and uniform purchases (up to AED 250). Transport fees are charged separately and can be viewed on the school's transport page. All fees are subject to KHDA approval and may be reviewed annually.
