Newlands School

Newlands School is a fee-paying international school regulated by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in Dubai. The school follows the UK curriculum for students from FS1 through to Year 13, with annual tuition fees ranging from AED 21,372 for Foundation Stage to AED 40,072 for Years 12 and 13. All fees are approved by the KHDA and are subject to change in accordance with KHDA approvals. The school has received a Good overall DSIB rating for 2023–2024, reflecting strong value across teaching, curriculum, and student wellbeing.

Fees are structured across three terms and must be paid in advance, with Term 1 due before 22nd August, Term 2 before 22nd December, and Term 3 before 22nd March. A registration fee of 10% of annual tuition is required for new students upon acceptance of an admission offer, while existing students pay a re-registration fee of 5% to secure their place for the following year. Both fees are non-refundable but are adjusted against term fees once enrolment is confirmed. An application fee of AED 500 is also required at the time of application.

Optional additional costs include books, stationery, and learning resources, which vary by year group and range from AED 520 for FS1–FS2 to AED 1,185 for Years 12–13. Cambridge exam fees, school trips, and extracurricular club fees are charged separately as incurred. Parents may pay via cash, cheque, credit/debit card, online through the parent portal, or bank transfer. Late payment incurs an administrative charge of AED 3 per day for delays up to 30 days and AED 5 per day beyond 30 days.
