The fee structure is tiered across four broad bands: early years (Pre-KG to KG2), primary lower (Grades 1–4), primary upper and middle school (Grades 5–8), and secondary (Grades 9–10 and 11–12), reflecting the increasing resources and specialist teaching required at each stage.

The school accepts a range of payment methods including cash, credit card, cheque, wire transfer, and direct online payment. A non-refundable application fee of AED 525 is charged for new students, and a registration deposit of 10% of annual tuition is required upon acceptance of a place (deductible from total fees). Existing students pay a re-registration deposit of 5% of annual tuition to secure their place for the following year.
The school offers sibling discounts for families enrolling a 4th or 5th child, with 15% off for the 4th sibling and 25% for the 5th sibling and above (applicable from Pre-KG to Grade 12, excluding nursery). Rated Good by DSIB in 2023–24, the school provides strong value within the IB international school segment in Dubai, with fees broadly competitive for a full IB continuum school in the Al Khail area.
