Value for Money
GEMS Founders School DS DWC offers a British National Curriculum education across Foundation Stage and Secondary year groups, with tuition fees for the 2026–27 academic year ranging from AED 36,400 (FS1) to AED 50,400 (Year 10). These fees have been approved by the KHDA and reflect the school's positioning as a quality British curriculum provider within the Dubai South community. The school is relatively new, having been founded in 2024, and is currently expanding its year group offering up to Year 10 for AY 2026–27.
Tuition fees are structured across three terms, with Term 1 carrying a higher proportion of the annual fee (approximately 40%) and Terms 2 and 3 each accounting for around 30%. For the 2025–26 academic year, a 15% discount was applied to fees, and a potential 5% discount may be applicable for AY 2026–27 subject to KHDA approval. Payments are due on or before the 10th working day of August (Term 1), December (Term 2), and April (Term 3).
The school also offers the option to pay annual tuition fees in advance using the FAB GEMS World Credit Card, which provides savings of up to 3% plus 10% back on school expenses. The registration fee is non-refundable, and tuition refunds follow the Ministry of Education's policy upon written request. Students withdrawing must provide a 30-day written notification to the registrar's office.
