Dubai International Academy Albarsha

Dubai International Academy Al Barsha (DIA Al Barsha) is an IB World School offering the PYP, MYP, DP, and CP programmes to students aged 3 to 18. For the 2025–2026 academic year, KHDA-approved annual tuition fees range from AED 53,111 for Pre-KG up to AED 96,309 for Grades 11 and 12. The school also offers discounted annual tuition fees for both existing and new students, which are lower than the KHDA-approved maximums, reflecting the school's commitment to accessible, high-quality international education on its expansive 23-acre campus in Al Barsha.

Fees are structured across three terms, with Term 1 payable in August, Term 2 in January, and Term 3 in March. New students are required to pay a registration fee equivalent to 10% of annual tuition fees, which is adjusted against Term 1 fees. Existing students pay a re-registration fee ranging from AED 2,680 to AED 4,245 depending on grade level, payable by April. The school accepts multiple payment methods including online payment via the Zenda app, cheque, credit card, bank transfer, and cash, providing flexibility for families.

Additional costs such as stationery, field trips, school uniforms, external examinations, meals, and transportation are charged separately and are not included in the tuition fee. Sibling discounts are available, offering 5% for the second and third child, 10% for the fourth, 15% for the fifth, and 20% for the sixth child. Given the school's Very Good DSIB inspection rating (2023–2024), outstanding facilities, and comprehensive IB curriculum, DIA Al Barsha represents strong value within Dubai's international school landscape.
