Scholars International Academy

SIA's school fees for 2026-2027 position it firmly in the mid-range bracket for British curriculum schools in Sharjah. Tuition fees run from AED 24,850 for Pre-KG (FS1) to AED 37,035 for Year 13 - a range that is meaningfully more affordable than premium British schools in Dubai and Sharjah while still reflecting the school's BSO accreditation and Cambridge examination programme. Resource fees are charged separately and cover textbooks, exercise books, stationery, art materials, worksheets, online resources, costume and concert production costs, transportation for field trips within Dubai and Sharjah, and the class photo. Resource fees range from AED 1,500 at FS1 to AED 3,300 at Year 5. External examination fees are invoiced separately based on the examination board's invoice - parents of IGCSE and A Level students should budget an additional AED 2,000 to AED 5,000 depending on the number of subjects taken. A non-refundable assessment fee of AED 200 is payable at the time of assessment for new admissions. The school offers a 10% sibling discount on tuition fees for each additional child enrolled, a referral programme offering 10% of the new student's fees to the referring family and 5% to the new student for one year, a 5% discount for families from affiliated nursery partners, and a 10% discount for corporate partner families. Fees are payable in three terms: Term 1 in August, Term 2 in December, and Term 3 in March. The school accepts bank transfer, cash, credit card, cheques, and the Zenda online payment app, which also offers a pay-later option allowing fees to be split into three monthly instalments, and a monthly conversion option allowing termly fees to be spread across eight monthly payments. 0% instalment plans are available through Emirates NBD, Emirates Islamic, RAKBANK, and ADCB for credit card holders. Sixth Form scholarships are available at Standard level (20% discount for a minimum of 4 A's and 2 B's at IGCSE) and at Principal's Scholarship level for exceptional students demonstrating academic brilliance and community contribution. Against peer schools in the Muwailih area and broader Sharjah British curriculum market, SIA's fees represent fair value given its dual BSO and BSME accreditation, Cambridge examination pathway, and HPL World Class designation. It is not the cheapest option in Sharjah, but it is not trying to be - and the accreditation premium is real.
