Safa Community School

Safa Community School's school fees for 2025-2026 range from AED 54,437 in FS1 and FS2 to AED 89,440 in Year 13, placing the school firmly in the premium segment of Dubai's British curriculum school market. The fee structure is transparent and published in full on the school website, with individual fact sheets available for every year group. Fees are paid in three termly instalments: Term 1 carries approximately 40% of the annual fee, with Terms 2 and 3 each carrying approximately 30%. For families with multiple children, the school offers a 15% sibling discount on tuition fees from the third child onwards. There is no published sibling discount for a second child, which is worth noting for two-child families. The school also operates a Free Sibling Club for FS1 to Year 6 families, reducing the logistical burden of multiple pick-up times - a practical benefit that has real value for working parents. Additional costs are relatively contained. The application fee is AED 500 (refundable if no place is offered). A mandatory KHDA-approved medical fee of AED 1,500 is charged annually. A security deposit of AED 4,000 is required at the time of offer, which is offset against Term 1 fees. Re-registration for existing students incurs a fee of AED 2,400 in the Term 3 invoice, which is then offset against the following year's Term 1 fees. Transport is provided through an external provider (BusCo) at variable rates depending on route. The school offers secondary and sixth form scholarships, details of which are published on the school website. Payment options include cash, cheque, and bank transfer (to RAK Bank). Credit card payment is not explicitly listed as an option. Value-for-money assessment: At AED 54,437-89,440, SCS is priced comparably to other Outstanding-rated British curriculum all-through schools in Dubai. The inclusion of over 300 ECAs within the tuition fee, the Saturday school support at GCSE and A Level (provided at the school's cost, not parents'), the dedicated Senior School campus, and the consistently strong value-added data at GCSE (+1.8 grades) all contribute to a strong value proposition. For families who plan to keep children at the school from FS through to Year 13, the all-through model and strong internal transition rate (reported at 98% from Year 6 to Year 7) provide continuity and reduce the disruption and cost of school changes.
