Aldar Academies- The Pearl Primary School - Branch 1

Pearl British Academy's tuition fees for AY2025-2026 - approved by ADEK - run from AED 44,480 for FS1 to AED 46,030 for FS2 through Year 6. These are school fees Abu Dhabi parents will recognise as sitting in the mid-to-premium band for British curriculum primary schools in the capital: below the fee levels of Brighton College Abu Dhabi or Cranleigh, but comparable to other strong Aldar network schools and above lower-fee British options. The fee structure is notably flat across Year 1 to Year 6, which simplifies financial planning for families with children across multiple year groups. Fees are paid in three instalments per term: Term 1 takes 40% of the annual fee (AED 17,792 for FS1; AED 18,412 for FS2-Year 6), with Terms 2 and 3 each taking 30% (AED 13,344 for FS1; AED 13,809 for FS2-Year 6). The school offers 0% payment plans through FAB, ADIB, and ENBD, allowing families to spread the cost of tuition over monthly instalments via credit card - a practical financial flexibility option. For new joiners in 2025-2026, a non-refundable registration fee of 5% of the annual tuition fee applies upon offer acceptance, adjustable against the final term's tuition fee per ADEK guidelines. Returning students pay a re-registration fee of 5% of annual tuition to confirm their child's seat, also adjustable against the final term. Bus transport through Emirates Transport costs AED 5,000 per year for a return journey. Uniforms are available from Magrudy at Al Wahda Mall, priced at approximately AED 400. Curriculum books are included within tuition fees. Teacher-led ECAs are free of charge; externally-provided specialist ECAs are paid directly to the provider. On a value-for-money basis, Pearl British Academy offers a compelling proposition: a Very Good ADEK-rated British primary with Outstanding science, a High Performance Learning accreditation, BSO Outstanding status, and the security of the Aldar network pathway to secondary - all at fees that are meaningfully below the AED 60,000-80,000+ range of Abu Dhabi's premium British schools. For families who do not require the prestige of a connected senior school brand (such as Brighton or Cranleigh), Pearl British Academy represents strong value within the Abu Dhabi British primary market.
