Cambridge High School L.L.C.

Cambridge High School's fee structure is one of its most distinctive characteristics within the MOHAMED BIN ZAYED CITY schools landscape and the broader Abu Dhabi British curriculum segment. School fees in Abu Dhabi for the 2025-2026 academic year range from AED 16,960 (FS2) to AED 35,760 (Years 12-13) - ADEK-approved figures published on the school's official fees page. This positions Cambridge High School firmly in the mid-to-lower tier of British curriculum school fees in Abu Dhabi, significantly below the AED 50,000-90,000+ range charged by premium British curriculum schools in the capital. Fees are payable annually in advance or termly, with a three-term split structure: Term 1 (September-December) carries the largest portion, followed by equal Term 2 (January-March) and Term 3 (April-June) instalments. For FS2, this equates to AED 6,780 / AED 5,090 / AED 5,090 per term. For Year 12/13, the termly split is AED 14,300 / AED 10,730 / AED 10,730. New admissions require a non-refundable registration fee of 5% of annual tuition upon acceptance of the offer letter, adjustable against first-term fees. Re-enrolment also requires a 5% fee in line with ADEK regulations. Additional costs are modest by Abu Dhabi private school standards. Transport via Bright Bus is AED 5,000 annually. Books range from AED 207 (FS2) to AED 1,083 (Year 9) depending on year group. Uniform costs are a flat AED 150 across all year groups. Students in Years 11, 12, and 13 must pay Cambridge University Public Examination fees separately - a cost not included in the tuition figure and one that parents should budget for explicitly. The school offers a FAB GEMS World Credit Card arrangement that provides up to 3% savings on annual fees paid in advance, plus 10% back on school expenses - a practical financial incentive for families who can manage upfront payment. On value-for-money grounds, this school makes a strong case. A Very Good ADEK rating, Outstanding Sixth Form academic performance, PISA 2022 scores above international averages, and a well-established pastoral culture - all delivered at fees that are 30-50% below comparable British curriculum schools in Abu Dhabi - represent genuine value. The trade-off is in facilities and digital infrastructure, which lag behind higher-fee peers. For families who prioritise academic outcomes and pastoral care over premium campuses, the value proposition is clear.
