Crescent International Private School

Crescent International sits firmly in the value band for British curriculum schools in Abu Dhabi. School fees 2026 run from AED 11,970 for KG1 and KG2 up to AED 18,197 for Grades 7 and 8, as published in the official ADEK/TAMM fee schedule for AY2025-26. These fees are among the most affordable for any British curriculum school in Abu Dhabi's private school landscape, where comparable British curriculum providers in premium areas charge AED 45,000 to AED 80,000 or more annually. Even within KHALIFA CITY schools, Crescent's fee point is notably accessible. Additional costs are transparent and regulated: bus transport is AED 3,500 per year (optional), books range from AED 1,000 to AED 1,500 depending on year group (not charged for Grades 7-8 per the TAMM data), and uniform is AED 750 per year across all grades. There is no published information on registration fees, exam fees, meal costs, or trip charges on the school's website, though the TAMM fee schedule is the authoritative reference for regulated costs. The school does not publish information on sibling discounts, scholarships, or bursaries in available source material - parents should inquire directly. Payment terms are not publicly documented; the school can be contacted on +971 2 557 2271 or +971 2 556 5315. The value-for-money verdict is nuanced. The fees are genuinely low, and for families who need a British curriculum school within this budget, Crescent is one of very few options in Abu Dhabi. However, the ADEK Irtiqa rating of Acceptable - combined with Weak external assessment results, a Weak leadership rating, and limited extracurricular provision - means that the fee saving comes with material trade-offs in academic outcomes and school quality. Families who can stretch their budget to a Good or Very Good-rated British curriculum school elsewhere in Abu Dhabi should weigh that option carefully.
