Sunrise English Private School

Sunrise English Private School sits firmly in Abu Dhabi's most affordable private school fee bracket, making it one of the most accessible CBSE schools in the emirate. School fees 2026 range from AED 8,100 for Grade 1 at the lower end to AED 12,770 for Grades 11 and 12 at the senior level - a fee ceiling that remains below the entry-level fees of most British, American, or IB curriculum schools in Abu Dhabi. For a family with children across multiple year groups, the total annual outlay remains manageable by UAE private school standards. The ADEK/TAMM official fee data for 2025-2026 provides a transparent, per-grade breakdown. KG1 and KG2 are priced at AED 8,660 - slightly above the primary entry point, reflecting the KG premium common across Indian curriculum schools. Grades 1 through 6 range from AED 8,100 to AED 8,190, with a step increase at Grade 7 to AED 9,190 through Grade 9. Grade 10 drops marginally to AED 9,100 before a significant uplift to AED 12,770 for Grades 11 and 12, reflecting the additional resource demands of the senior CBSE board examination years. Additional costs are clearly structured. Bus transport is AED 4,520 per annum - a flat rate across all grades, which represents reasonable value for families relying on school transport. Book fees range from AED 240 (KG) to AED 700 (Grades 11-12), and uniform costs range from AED 490 to AED 559 depending on grade. The school collects fees in three terms per year (April, October, and January), with part-payment not permitted. Payment is accepted by cash, current-dated cheque, or bank transfer to Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. In value-for-money terms, SEPS is a compelling proposition for its target community. At a maximum of AED 12,770 in tuition - compared to AED 40,000-80,000+ at mid-range to premium Abu Dhabi schools - the school delivers an ADEK-rated Good education, strong CBSE board results, and a comprehensive subject offering at a fraction of the cost. The caveat is that the fee level also constrains what the school can invest in facilities, staffing ratios, technology, and specialist support. Parents must be clear that they are buying a solid, functional education - not a premium one. No scholarship or bursary information is publicly disclosed on the school's website, and sibling discount policies are not documented publicly.
