The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) is introducing a document that will give parents of private school students comprehensive and reliable info about school fees.

Introducing: Dubai’s School Fees Fact Sheet

It’s a one-page sheet that includes ALL fees a school may charge during an academic year – so there will be no scary charges lurking around the corner.

There will be a School Fees Fact Sheet for every private school in Dubai, from each school’s website and the KHDA online directory

Fees like transportation, extra-curricular activities, school trips and books will be listed in the doc

Along with tuition fees, the Fact Sheet will include details of other verified fees that parents could pay during an academic year, such as transportation, extra-curricular activities, school trips and books, to name a few. Parents will be able to access a School Fees Fact Sheet for every private school in Dubai.

The first phase will feature 35 schools, helping parents of more than 81,000 Dubai students.

Dubai is committed to supporting an environment that enables parents, students and schools to engage with each other and make choices based on clear information. Through the School Fees Fact Sheet, parents can understand a school’s complete fee structure at a glance. This will help them make better decisions about their children’s schooling. When there’s transparency on fees, both parents and schools can better focus on children’s growth. We’re grateful to private schools in Dubai for their support in making the fact sheets accessible to their parent communities.
