Emirates International School Meadows (Umm Suqeim 1) follows an IB (International Baccalaureate) curriculum across all year groups from FS1 through Year 13. Annual tuition fees for the 2025–2026 academic year range from AED 38,636 for the earliest year groups (FS1, FS2, and Year 1) up to AED 81,872 for Years 12 and 13, reflecting the increasing complexity and resources required at the senior IB Diploma Programme level. Fees are set in line with KHDA guidelines and reviewed annually.
The school's tuition fees are described as comprehensive and all-inclusive, covering tuition, standard equipment and materials, textbooks (including approved digital versions), workbooks, exercise books, academic website subscriptions, and routine in-house medical treatments. Notably, some High School textbooks that students need to annotate may need to be purchased separately. Costs not covered by fees include field trips, school uniform, meals and snacks, external IB examination fees, paid extra-curricular activities, school photographs, the yearbook, replacement costs for lost or damaged items, and school transportation.
Fees may be settled in three payments spread across the academic year and must be paid directly to the School Cashier. The school holds a Very Good overall DSIB rating (2023–2024), and with an average fee of approximately AED 55,894, it sits competitively within the premium IB school segment in Dubai. Parents should also budget for minor additional stationery costs in Primary, and potential graduation or subject-specific expenses in High School.
