The English College Dubai offers a thoughtfully structured fee schedule for the 2025–26 academic year, covering Early Years through Sixth Form. Fees are set below the KHDA-approved maximums, representing a genuine discount for families. Annual tuition ranges from AED 41,000 for Foundation Stage 1 up to AED 68,265 for Years 12 and 13, with fees increasing progressively as students advance through the school. The school follows a British curriculum and has held a Very Good KHDA inspection rating since 2022–23.
Fees are payable across three terms: Term 1 (August–December), Term 2 (January–March), and Term 3 (April–June). From Year 6 onwards, an optional STEAM Thrive programme is available at an additional AED 3,000 per year (AED 1,000 per term). The school's fees are competitive within the Dubai British curriculum sector, and the school emphasises that quality of education and student experience are never compromised despite the discounted pricing against KHDA-approved rates.
Additional costs to consider include a non-refundable application fee of AED 500 (applicable from Year 3 onwards), a new student tuition deposit of 10% of annual fees (deducted from the first term's fees), and a KHDA transfer administration fee of AED 120 for students transferring from another Dubai school. Families with three or more children enrolled benefit from sibling discounts of 10% for the third child and 15% for the fourth child.
