Scholarships & Bursaries

Value for Money

The SPEA inspection report records VISS fees ranging from AED 28,350 to AED 74,900 per annum, covering the full span from Pre-KG through Grade 12. This positions VISS as a mid-to-upper range school in the Sharjah private school market - not the most expensive option in the emirate, but meaningfully above the budget tier. For context, the school's not-for-profit status means that fees are reinvested into the school's educational provision rather than distributed as profit, which is a structurally important distinction for families evaluating value. The school's website confirms that all payments and matters relating to tuition fees are managed from the Finance office located at Gate 1. The ELC (Pre-KG and KG) operates on a three-installment payment structure using post-dated cheques, and the school explicitly notes that there are no sibling discounts for the Pre-KG programme. The admissions page on the school's website was not accessible at the time of this review, and the school's fee schedule is available for download from the SPEA official school profile. Families are advised to contact the registrar directly at registrar@viss.ae for the most current fee schedule and to confirm payment terms for their specific year group. At the upper end of the fee range (approaching AED 75,000 for Grade 12), VISS is competing with established IB schools in Dubai and Sharjah. The value proposition here rests on the IB Diploma pathway, the school's not-for-profit governance, its SPEA Very Good rating, and the authenticity of its Victorian curriculum delivery. At the lower end (Pre-KG at AED 28,350), the school offers a genuinely differentiated early years programme grounded in the Australian Early Years Learning Framework with Individual Learning Goals for every child - a strong proposition relative to comparable Sharjah early years fees. Families should budget for additional costs including transport, uniforms, books, exam fees (particularly IB examination fees at senior level), and any enrichment activities or field trips.
