As a newer British curriculum school founded in 2022, Durham School is currently offering a discounted fee structure for 2025/26, bringing fees down to as low as AED 48,105 for EYFS and up to AED 65,383 for KS4 — representing meaningful savings compared to the KHDA-approved maximums.
Fees are payable in three termly instalments split 40% in Term 1, 30% in Term 2, and 30% in Term 3, with payments due prior to the start of each term. An application fee of AED 525 is required upon application, and a registration deposit of 10% of total tuition fees is payable upon acceptance of a place — this deposit is deductible from the annual tuition but is non-refundable. Optional additional costs include school meals, transport, trips, and co-curricular activities.
Durham School offers several discount opportunities including a 5% sibling discount for the third child and beyond, a 5% early payment discount for full annual payment before the first day of the academic year, and a 5% one-payment discount for full payment prior to 15th August. A range of corporate partner discounts are also available, with savings of up to 15% for eligible employees. These incentives, combined with the school's discounted opening fees, make Durham School a competitively priced British curriculum option in Dubai.
