Universal Philippine School, Al Ain

Universal Philippine School (UPS) is committed to its mission of offering affordable, relevant, and quality education following the Philippine curriculum. Annual tuition fees range from AED 6,000 for Kindergarten to AED 12,700 for Grade 10, positioning UPS as one of the more budget-friendly private school options in Abu Dhabi. This makes it a particularly attractive choice for Filipino expatriate families and others seeking a familiar curriculum at an accessible price point.

In addition to tuition, families should budget for transportation (AED 5,000 annually), books ranging from AED 474 to AED 1,239 depending on grade level, and uniforms ranging from AED 385 to AED 500. These additional costs are clearly outlined in the ADEK-registered fee schedule for the 2025–2026 academic year, ensuring full transparency for prospective families.

Tuition fees can be paid either in full (annually) or on a monthly basis, with payments accepted via cash or debit/credit card. The school's incremental fee structure — increasing gradually from KG through Grade 10 — reflects a thoughtful approach to affordability as students progress through their academic journey at UPS.
