Elite Private School

Elite Private School's fee structure for Academic Year 2025-26 is straightforward and transparent, with ADEK-approved rates published on the school website and confirmed by TAMM official data. Annual tuition ranges from AED 24,720 for Pre-school and KG levels to AED 32,610 for Grades 10-12 - a narrow band that reflects the school's positioning as a genuinely accessible American curriculum option in Abu Dhabi. These school fees 2026 place EPS firmly in the mid-range tier for Abu Dhabi private schools: significantly below premium American curriculum competitors, and competitive with other Good-rated schools in the Mohamed Bin Zayed City area. A non-refundable registration fee of AED 1,500 applies to both new and returning students, adjusted against Term 1 fees. Textbooks, uniform, and transportation are not included in the tuition fees. Transportation is available at an additional annual cost of AED 4,845 per ADEK/TAMM data, and uniform costs are set at AED 550 annually. The school operates an AP College Board Exam Fees Policy for Grades 9-12, details of which are published on the school website - parents of senior students should factor AP examination fees into their annual cost planning. Fees are payable in three instalments: 1st August (Term 1), 1st November (Term 2), and 1st February (Term 3). The school's payment options page provides further detail on accepted payment methods. No specific sibling discount or scholarship programme was publicly disclosed on the school website at the time of this review - parents should enquire directly. On value-for-money grounds, EPS presents a compelling case for budget-conscious families seeking a US curriculum pathway with Cognia accreditation, AP examination access, and a Good ADEK rating. The curriculum - rated Very Good by ADEK inspectors - represents exceptional value at this price point. The trade-off is that international benchmark performance (PISA, MAP) lags behind what premium-tier schools typically deliver. For families whose primary goal is an affordable, community-rooted American curriculum school with a credible US Diploma and AP pathway in Mohamed Bin Zayed City, EPS offers strong value. For families prioritising top-tier academic outcomes and international benchmark excellence, the fee saving may not compensate for the performance gap.
