Raffles International School (Umm Suqeim South) offers a British curriculum education from FS1 through Year 13, with annual tuition fees ranging from AED 33,273 for Foundation Stage to AED 83,799 for Years 12 and 13. The school applies KHDA-approved fee structures, and in several year groups the applicable tuition fee is set below the KHDA-approved maximum, offering families a degree of value within the regulated framework. Fees are split across three terms, with Term 1 adjusted to account for any registration or re-registration fee already paid.
For new students, a registration fee of 10% of annual tuition is required (non-refundable but adjustable against Term 1 fees upon confirmed admission), along with a non-refundable assessment test fee of AED 525 (inclusive of 5% VAT). Returning students pay a re-registration fee of 5% of annual fees, also adjustable against Term 1. Families with multiple children benefit from a sibling discount structure: 5% for the second and third child, 10% for the fourth, 15% for the fifth, and 20% for the sixth child onwards.
Additional costs beyond tuition include school uniforms, textbooks (mandatory for secondary students, purchasable from the school at cost price), meals, transportation, external examination fees, educational visits, and voluntary excursions. Payments can be made online, by bank transfer, cheque (including post-dated cheques for Terms 2 and 3), credit card on premises, or in cash. The school's fee structure reflects its Very Good KHDA rating and its commitment to holistic, globally-oriented education preparing students through to A-Level.
