Deira International School

Deira International School (DIS) in Dubai Festival City offers an IB curriculum across all year groups, from FS1 through to Year 13. Annual tuition fees range from AED 44,616 for Foundation Stage (FS1 and FS2) up to AED 89,889 for the IB Diploma years (Year 12 and Year 13), reflecting the school's position as one of Dubai's premium international schools. The school has consistently been rated Outstanding by DSIB in its most recent inspections (2022–23 and 2023–24), which underscores the strong value proposition for families investing in a DIS education.

Fees increase progressively as students advance through the school, with Primary years (Year 1–5) set at AED 58,034, Lower Secondary (Year 6–7) at AED 63,057, Upper Secondary (Year 8–9) at AED 68,094, and GCSE years (Year 10–11) at AED 71,453 and AED 81,501 respectively. This tiered structure is typical of leading IB schools in Dubai and reflects the increasing resources and specialist teaching required at higher year levels.

Transportation is available as an additional service, managed by Maverick, a specialist school transport provider. Transport fees for the 2025–26 academic year are published separately by the school. Families are encouraged to contact the school's admissions team directly for the most up-to-date information on any additional costs, payment schedules, or available fee structures.
