Diyafah International School

Diyafah International School's 2025-2026 fee schedule positions it firmly in the mid-range tier for British curriculum schools in Abu Dhabi. Fees run from AED 28,180 for Preschool (FS1) to AED 46,360 for Years 12 and 13 - a range that is substantially below the premium British curriculum schools in Abu Dhabi, many of which charge AED 60,000-90,000+ at secondary level. For the Mohamed Bin Zayed City catchment area, DIS represents the most accessible full British curriculum option running through to A Level. All year groups carry a bus fee of AED 5,000 per annum if transport is required, and a uniform cost of AED 450. Book fees are not listed in the ADEK fee schedule, suggesting these may be included in tuition or billed separately at low cost. Registration fees and exam fees (for IGCSE and A Level examinations) are additional costs that parents should factor in. The school's fee increments are logical: Primary years (Years 1-3) sit at AED 31,790, rising to AED 34,380 for Years 4-6, AED 38,290 for Years 7-9, AED 42,100 for Years 10-11, and AED 46,360 for Sixth Form. Payment terms, sibling discounts, and scholarship information are not publicly disclosed on the school's website, and prospective parents should enquire directly with the admissions team. Value for money at DIS is strong: the combination of a full British curriculum from FS1 to Year 13, Pearson Edexcel and CAIE A Level qualifications, COBIS membership, a documented low teacher turnover rate, and a campus with swimming pool and astroturf field at fees well below the market premium makes this school a genuinely competitive proposition for cost-conscious families who prioritise British curriculum education in Abu Dhabi.
