Dubai Schools - Nad Al Shiba operates on an American curriculum and offers a transparent, KHDA-approved fee structure for students from KG1 through Grade 8. Annual fees range from AED 30,603 for KG1 up to AED 45,853 for Grade 8, with fees paid across three terms. Notably, the school's fees are inclusive of transportation, uniform, and extra-curricular activities, which represents strong bundled value compared to many schools where these are charged separately.
Fees are structured progressively by grade, reflecting the increasing resources and curriculum demands at each level. The school also provides a subsidy calculator on its website to help UAE National families determine their applicable subsidies based on family income and emirate of registration, making the school more accessible to Emirati families. All fees are subject to KHDA approval, ensuring regulatory oversight and transparency.
For Grades 9 through 12, a provisional annual fee of AED 46,800 has been indicated, though these grades are not yet open — Grade 9 is expected to open in 2026/27 subject to KHDA approval, with higher grades to follow in the near future. Prospective families should confirm the latest fee schedules and available subsidies directly with the school or via the KHDA Fees Fact Sheets.
