For the 2024–25 academic year, annual tuition fees range from AED 43,946 for KG1 up to AED 77,866 for Years 12 and 13, reflecting the school's position as a premium IB provider in the region. Fees are structured across three terms, with payments due in September, January, and April respectively. The school's fee structure conforms with the regulations of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) of the UAE.

New students are required to pay a non-refundable entrance test fee of AED 525 (inclusive of 5% VAT) prior to admission, along with an annual enrolment advance payment equivalent to 10% of annual fees, which is adjusted against Term 1 fees. Students who require English as an Additional Language (EAL) support will incur an additional annual charge of AED 4,500. A sibling discount of 10% is available from the fourth child onwards. Additional costs such as transportation, meals, uniforms, external examination fees, and educational trips are charged separately and are not included in the base tuition fee.

Given DIA Emirates Hills' Outstanding DSIB rating for 2023–24, its strong academic outcomes across all IB programmes, and its comprehensive curriculum offering, the school represents strong value for families seeking a world-class IB education in Dubai. Multiple payment methods are accepted, including online payments, bank transfer, cheque (including post-dated cheques for Terms 2 and 3), credit card, and cash at the school premises.
