Ryan International School

Ryan International School sits firmly in the value segment of Abu Dhabi's private school market. With tuition fees ranging from AED 13,710 for KG1 and KG2 to AED 22,710 for Grade 10, this is one of the most affordable CBSE private schools in the emirate - and among the lowest-cost private school options in KHALIFA CITY regardless of curriculum. For Indian-national families seeking CBSE continuity without the premium price tag of larger international operators, the fee structure is a compelling entry point. The ADEK/TAMM official fee schedule for the 2025-2026 academic year breaks down as follows, with bus transport costing an additional AED 4,700 per year across all grades. Book fees range from AED 400 in KG to AED 700 in Grades 8-10, and uniform costs run from AED 460 in KG to AED 510 in the upper grades. Notably, the school does not publish fee information on its own website - a transparency gap that parents should be aware of when budgeting; all fee data used here is sourced from the official ADEK/TAMM portal. Compared to peer CBSE schools in Abu Dhabi, Ryan International's fees are at the lower end of the market. Mid-range CBSE schools in the emirate typically charge AED 18,000-30,000 for equivalent grade levels, making Ryan International a genuine budget option. The value proposition is real but conditional: at this price point, parents should calibrate expectations against the school's Acceptable ADEK rating and the inspection findings around teaching quality. For families prioritising cultural fit, CBSE familiarity, and cost management over academic prestige, the value-for-money case is solid. For families expecting premium academic outcomes, the fee savings do not compensate for the quality gap relative to higher-rated schools. No scholarship or bursary information is published on the school's website. Payment terms and installment structures are not publicly documented; parents are advised to contact the school directly at 025527525 or ris.masdar@ryangroup.org for payment plan details.
