Emirates International School Jumeirah (EISM) offers a comprehensive IB curriculum from FS1 through Year 13, with annual tuition fees ranging from AED 38,636 for Foundation Stage and Year 1 up to AED 81,872 for Years 12 and 13. Fees are set in line with KHDA guidelines and reviewed annually, reflecting the school's Very Good overall rating from DSIB in 2023–2024. The fee structure is tiered across phases, with Primary years (Years 2–6) ranging from AED 45,994 to AED 51,510, Middle Years (Years 7–9) at AED 60,716, and Senior years (Years 10–11) at AED 69,913.
EISM tuition fees are all-inclusive, covering tuition, standard equipment and materials, textbooks (including approved online or digital versions), workbooks, exercise books, academic websites and learning subscriptions, and routine in-house medical treatments. This comprehensive fee structure means families can expect few hidden costs for core educational provisions. However, certain items are not covered, including field trips, school uniform, meals and snacks, external IB examination fees, paid extra-curricular activities, official school photographs, the School Yearbook, replacement costs for lost or damaged items, and school transportation.
School fees may be settled in three payments spread across the academic year and must be paid to the School Cashier in person. Fees cannot be accepted by class teachers, secretaries, or other school personnel. Primary students from Year 1 onwards are asked to bring a pencil case with basic stationery items, and High School students may incur additional costs for specialist equipment depending on subject choices, including graduation fees in Grade 13.
