International Academic School (IAS) in Dubai offers an American curriculum from KG1 through Grade 12, with annual tuition fees ranging from AED 14,992 for KG1 and KG2 up to AED 28,112 for Grade 12. The fee structure reflects a progressive model, with fees increasing as students advance through elementary, middle, and high school stages. These fees are set and regulated by the KHDA for the 2025–26 academic year.
Compared to other American curriculum schools in Dubai, IAS sits at the more affordable end of the spectrum, making it an accessible option for families seeking an internationally recognised curriculum. The school has maintained an Acceptable KHDA rating consistently, and the fee levels are broadly in line with schools of a similar rating and curriculum type in the city.
New students are required to pay a non-refundable registration fee of AED 525 (inclusive of VAT) in addition to the annual tuition fee. Some fees are marked as optional — full details of optional fees are available via the KHDA Fees Fact Sheet on the school's website.
