Value for Money
Sharjah American International School offers an American curriculum education with tuition fees ranging from AED 29,500 for Preschool and KG levels up to AED 43,200 for Grades 11 and 12. The fee structure is approved by ADEK for the 2025–2026 academic year and remains valid for future academic years unless replaced by a subsequently approved schedule. Fees are tiered across four broad phases — Early Childhood, Elementary, Middle School, and High School — reflecting the increasing resources and programme complexity at each stage.
In addition to tuition, families should budget for books and materials (ranging from AED 500 to AED 3,000 depending on grade), a uniform fee of AED 300–400 per year, and an optional bus fee of AED 5,000 annually. These additional costs are clearly defined and capped by ADEK, providing families with transparency and predictability when planning their education expenditure. Registration fees, when charged, are deductible from tuition and cannot exceed 5% of the annual tuition fee.
As an ADEK-regulated private school following the American curriculum, Sharjah American International School's fees are competitive within the mid-to-upper range for American curriculum schools in the UAE. Fees must be collected in a minimum of three installments in accordance with ADEK's school fee policy, and the school is prohibited from collecting any financial guarantee or deposit from guardians as a condition of enrollment.
