Progressive English School

Progressive English School's fee structure is one of the most accessible in Sharjah's private school landscape, and this is not a trivial distinction. Annual school fees range from AED 4,100 for KG1 and KG2 to AED 7,100 for Grades 10-12 - figures that place this school firmly at the budget end of the Sharjah private school market. For context, the average annual fee across Sharjah private schools is considerably higher, and many Indian-curriculum schools in the emirate charge significantly more for the same ICSE/ISC qualification pathway. These fees cover ten months of tuition. The fee structure is divided into three installments. For KG1 and KG2: AED 1,230 (1st), AED 1,640 (2nd), and AED 1,230 (3rd). For Classes 1-5: AED 1,320 / AED 1,760 / AED 1,320. For Classes 6-9: AED 1,770 / AED 2,360 / AED 1,770. For Classes 10-12: AED 2,130 / AED 2,840 / AED 2,130. This installment structure (roughly a 30/40/30 split) eases cash flow for families. Payment is accepted by cash, post-dated cheque, credit card, and online bank transfer via ADCB, as well as through the Zenda app using school code "pes." Additional costs are minimal by private school standards. Transport is charged monthly at AED 300 for Sharjah routes and AED 350 for Ajman routes, and once enrolled, withdrawal from the transport service is not permitted mid-year. A medical fee of AED 100 per year covers access to the on-site clinic. Textbooks, notebooks, stationery, and uniforms are available for purchase at the on-site school store. No registration fee, debenture, or building levy is documented in available sources. No sibling discount, scholarship, or bursary scheme is published on the school website or SPEA profile. The value-for-money verdict is straightforward: for the ICSE/ISC pathway in Sharjah, Progressive English School offers the qualification at a price point that is difficult to match. The trade-off is an Acceptable rather than Good or Outstanding educational experience. Families for whom the Indian board qualification is the priority and budget is a genuine constraint will find this a compelling proposition.
