City American School, Ajman

City American School's published fee structure for Academic Year 2026-2027 positions it firmly in the mid-range bracket among Ajman private schools, and as a competitive value proposition against American curriculum schools in Dubai and Sharjah. Total fees (inclusive of books and uniform) run from AED 15,600 at KG1 to AED 35,000 at Grade 11, with the Ministry-approved tuition fees sitting higher than the discounted rates that are actually charged - meaning families benefit from a structured fee reduction built into the pricing model from the outset. The fee structure is transparent and detailed, with separate line items for tuition, books, and uniform at each grade level. Books range from AED 1,000 at KG level to AED 2,500 at Grades 9-11, and uniform fees are a flat AED 400-500 across all grades. Transport is offered as an optional addition, with Ajman-route transport adding approximately AED 100-250 per year depending on grade, while Dubai routes add up to AED 1,000 above the base fee. Payment is structured across three installments: a current-dated cheque due August 15, and two post-dated cheques due December 15 and March 15 - a flexible arrangement that eases cash flow for families. The school publishes a dedicated Discounts and Scholarships page, confirming that financial support mechanisms exist, though specific percentage values and eligibility criteria are not detailed in the publicly available content and should be requested directly from the admissions team. For context, the school's fees compare favourably against Ajman Academy School (average fees around AED 45,175) and are broadly comparable to The Bloomington Academy (average AED 16,400 at the lower grades). Against American curriculum schools in Dubai operating in the AED 40,000-70,000+ range, CAS offers a genuinely significant cost advantage for families willing to commute or relocate to Ajman.
