Collegiate International School

Collegiate International School in Dubai offers an American International curriculum with IB pathways, and its fee structure is approved by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). For the 2025–2026 academic year, annual tuition fees range from AED 39,478 for Pre-KG through to AED 70,630 for Grades 11 and 12, placing the school in the mid-to-upper range for American curriculum schools in Dubai. Fees are consistent across both existing and new students at the annual level, though the payment schedule differs slightly between the two groups.

Tuition can be paid in three terms or as an advance lump sum. New students are required to pay an advance payment (approximately 10% of annual fees) prior to Term 1, while existing students benefit from a slightly lower advance payment alongside an early-bird option payable by April 2025. Multiple payment methods are accepted including online via the Zenda app, cheque, credit card, bank transfer, and cash. Post-dated cheques are accepted for Term 2 and Term 3 payments.

Additional costs not included in tuition fees include stationery, school uniforms, textbooks, meals, transportation, external examinations, educational field trips, and voluntary excursions. A sibling discount is available for families with three or more children enrolled, offering 10% off for the third and fourth child, 15% for the fifth, and 20% from the sixth child onwards. An entrance test fee of AED 525 (inclusive of 5% VAT) is applicable for new students, which is non-refundable but adjustable against Term 1 fees.
