The Philippine Global School

The Philippine Global School occupies the Very Low fee category as classified by ADEK - the most affordable tier in Abu Dhabi's private school landscape. For the 2025-2026 academic year, tuition fees range from AED 5,470 for KG1 and KG2 to a maximum of AED 8,770 for Grades 7, 8, and 9, with Grade 10 at AED 8,690. These are among the lowest school fees in Abu Dhabi for a ADEK-regulated private school, and they make TPGS accessible to a broad range of Filipino families across different income levels. Beyond tuition, families should budget for additional costs. The school bus is a significant additional expense at AED 3,931 per year - families who rely on transport should factor this in, as it can add meaningfully to the total annual cost. Books range from AED 600 (KG) to AED 850 (Grades 7-10), and uniforms from AED 250 (KG) to AED 350 (secondary). These costs are transparent and published in the ADEK/TAMM fee schedule. Information on registration fees, sibling discounts, scholarships, and payment installment structures is not publicly detailed on the school website, and parents should confirm these directly with the school administration. In terms of value for money, the assessment depends entirely on what a family is optimising for. If the priority is cultural continuity, community belonging, and keeping children on the Philippine curriculum at a fraction of the cost of other Abu Dhabi private schools - TPGS represents exceptional value. If the priority is academic outcomes benchmarked against international standards, premium facilities, or a pathway to competitive university admissions, then the school's Acceptable ADEK rating and absence of post-Grade 10 provision mean that the value calculation shifts considerably. Compared to peer Philippine curriculum schools in the UAE, TPGS is competitively priced and community-focused.
