Value for Money
Royal American School in Abu Dhabi offers a competitive and transparent fee structure approved by the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) for the academic year 2025–2026. Tuition fees range from AED 12,360 for KG1 through to AED 21,610 for Grade 12, reflecting the school's American curriculum and the progressive investment in each stage of a student's education. These fees are the maximum permissible levels as set by ADEK and cannot be increased without prior written approval from the authority.
In addition to tuition, families should budget for bus transportation (AED 5,000 per year), books (ranging from AED 1,225 to AED 4,090 depending on grade), and a uniform fee of AED 240 per year. It is worth noting that a Standardised Assessment Fee is included within the tuition fees for students in Grades 3 to 9, providing additional value at no extra cost. The school's fee schedule is structured to ensure affordability while maintaining the high standards expected of an American curriculum institution in Abu Dhabi.
The approved fee schedule is valid for future academic years unless replaced by a later ADEK-approved schedule. Parents are advised to review all components of the fee structure carefully, as the listed fees cover tuition, and separately itemised costs such as transport, books, and uniform represent the full cost of attendance at Royal American School.
