Latest: Best rated schools in Dubai with fees under Dh35,000 per year
Dubai's private schools have announced tuition fees for the next academic year.
Some schools were allowed to raise fees by up to 6 per cent from September, with the emirate's education regulator citing operational costs and the economic situation as factors in the decision.
The Knowledge and Human Development Authority in March said only schools that maintained or improved inspection ratings would be allowed to increase fees.
Tuition fees for Dubai's private schools had been frozen for the past three academic years.
The KHDA this week issued a school fees fact sheet, detailing costs at more than 200 institutions for the next academic year.
Twenty Dubai schools were rated outstanding when inspection results were released last month.
Schools were assessed on pupils' learning outcomes and attainment, provisions for learners, and leadership and management.
Here, the National lists the 2023-24 academic year tuition fees at the 20 top-ranked private schools in the emirate.
Dubai College
The non-profit school in Al Sufouh, which follows the UK curriculum, is one of the oldest in the city and is often touted as one of Dubai's best.
Founding headmaster Tim Charlton set up the institution in 1978, so British secondary school pupils would not have to return home to the UK for education.
The teachers have been known to maintain high standards and the school has some members of staff who have worked there since the 1980s.
Dubai College's fees for years seven to 11 are Dh89,205 ($24,292) for the 2023/24 academic year. Fees for years 12 and 13 are Dh101,012 a year.
Jumeirah College
Jumeirah College is a UK-curriculum school in Al Safa 1.
It has 1,125 pupils from more than 59 countries.
The school has been ranked as outstanding from 2010-2021.
In 2021, pupils had offers from prestigious universities, including Imperial College London, London School of Economics, the University of Oxford and University of Melbourne.
Fees at the school range from Dh75,178 for year seven to Dh93,972 for year 13.
Jumeirah English Speaking School — Al Safa 1 and Arabian Ranches
Jumeirah English Speaking (JESS) follows the UK curriculum and International Baccalaureate and is one of the oldest schools in the emirate.
The school has two branches — one in Al Safa 1 and another in Arabian Ranches.
The non-profit school was founded in an apartment in Deira in 1975 with only 17 pupils. Now the school has more than 1,400 pupils in Arabian Ranches and slightly more than 2,000 pupils in Al Safa 1.
The schools place great focus on culture, curricular activities and on ensuring pupils are ready for the future.
Last August, JESS increased its primary school fees by 5 per cent but there was no charge at the secondary school.
Fees start at Dh44,340 for foundation grade 1, rising to Dh96,667 for grade 13.
Gems Modern Academy
Gems Modern Academy, in Nad Al Sheba, was founded in 1986 and is the only Indian curriculum school in Dubai to be ranked as outstanding by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority.

Fees range from Dh50,496 in foundation stage one to Dh75,746 in year 13.
Dubai English Speaking School (primary only):
Dubai English Speaking School (DESS), one of the oldest in the country, was established in 1963 in a room of a residential villa in Dubai.
Dubai's late Ruler, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed, in 1967 granted the school land in Oud Metha.
From only a handful of pupils in the villa, about 2,700 pupils now attend DESS and its secondary school arm, Dubai English Speaking College.
Fees at DESS range from Dh40,220 in the foundation stage to Dh49,776 in years one to six.
Dubai English Speaking College
In 2006, DESS opened its own secondary school, Dubai English Speaking College in Academic City (DESC).
The school was established with an aim of providing quality British education for pupils up to the age of 18 and preparing them for entry into university.
DESC caters only to pupils in year seven to year 13.
The non-profit school does not select pupils on an academic basis.
DSIB has rated DESC outstanding since 2013, considered an impressive feat after having opened as recently as 2007.
DESC's fees range from Dh78,720 in years seven to 11 to Dh84,609 in the sixth form.
Gems Jumeirah Primary School
Gems Jumeirah Primary School in Jumeirah 3 is one of the most sought-after primary schools in the emirate and has been rated outstanding since 2010 by the KHDA.
The school offers a bespoke and innovative curriculum that focuses on the British Curriculum while also incorporating best practices from other international curriculums.
Fees at the school start at Dh42,091 in foundation stage one and rise to Dh53,056 in year six.
Gems Dubai American Academy
The only American curriculum school to find a spot on the list of outstanding schools, Gems Dubai American Academy was founded more than 20 years ago.
The school in Barsha South focuses on celebrating diversity, resilience, creativity and driving positive change.
Fees start at Dh63,026 in kindergarten and go up to Dh88,848 for grade one to grade 12.
Lycee Francais International Georges Pompidou Primary
The Lycee Francais International Georges Pompidou Primary (LFIGP) is in Oud Metha.
LFIGP pupils’ attainment and progress in mathematics have been outstanding across all ages, according to DSIB's latest quality indicators report.
For the 2023/24 academic year, fees at LFIGP range from Dh20,668 a year for kindergarten.
The Dubai branch's fees range from Dh35,021 for grade one and up to Dh48,093 for grade 12.
Gems Wellington International School
One of several Gems schools to make the outstanding category, the Gems Wellington International School in Al Sufouh offers both the UK curriculum and the International Baccalaureate diploma programme.
The school has a 1:13 teacher-to-pupil ratio and an impressively low rate of teacher turnover.
Foundation years fees start at Dh45,259, with years one to six starting at Dh57,006.
Fees for years seven to 11 are Dh78,601 to Dh88,446, with those for sixth form reaching Dh98,465.
Horizons English School (primary only)
Horizons English School, in Dubai’s Al Wasl area, caters to foundation stage one to year six, with almost 1,000 pupils enrolled.
Quality indicators have deemed Horizons’ pupils' personal and social development as outstanding, while their progress in Arabic as a first language was rated as acceptable for pupils in primary years.
Horizons’ fees range from Dh30,000 for foundation years to Dh42,016 for years one to six.
Repton School
The Repton in Nad El Sheba is one of three branches in the UAE.
This branch, founded in 2007, has had an outstanding rating on DSIB inspection reports from 2014 until 2023.
Repton has listed its 2023-2024 fees as follows: the foundation stage fees start at Dh54,449, and years one to six range from Dh61,547 to Dh72,328 and years seven to 11 reach up to Dh90,640.
The school fees for years 12 and 13 are Dh97,850.
Kings School Dubai (primary only)
Close to Burj Al Arab, Kings School Dubai in Umm Suqeim offers primary education for children aged three to 11.
The original school in a family of three Kings Schools, it has attained an outstanding rating by DSIB every year since inspections began.
The fees for the 2023/24 academic year start are Dh44,928 for the foundation stage, reaching up to Dh68,374 for year six.
Kings School Al Barsha
The British Curriculum school in Al Barsha differs from its branch in Umm Suqeim, in that it caters to pupils from years FS1 to year 13.
This is a relatively new school, having opened in September 2014, and has managed to achieve a DSIB score of outstanding in its past two inspections.
Kings School Al Barsha’s fees start at Dh55,231 for foundation years.
The school is the most expensive of the top 17 on the KHDA's portal, with a maximum grade 13 tuition fee of Dh109,596 per year.
However, there is currently a 9.03 per cent discount on tuition fees, so fees for grade 13 stand at Dh99,699.
Gems Royal Dubai School
This branch of Gems is the only outstanding primary school in the Mirdif area that offers the UK national curriculum.
Founded in 2005, the school has been rated outstanding for the fifth consecutive year in the 2019-2020 DSIB report.
The school caters to the learning needs of FS1 pupils up to year six.
Fees for the 2023/24 academic year are as follows: FS1 fees are Dh 38,331 and fees for FS2 all the way up to year six are Dh48,331.
Dubai International Academy
This school in Emirates Hills follows the International Baccalaureate.
It was the first IB school in the UAE to receive an outstanding rating in 2015-16, which it achieved again in 2016-17. However, it was rated very good in 2017-18, before returning to outstanding status this year.
The school caters to kindergarten through to secondary school.
Fees start at Dh42,832 for kindergarten 1 through to Dh75,893 for year 13 for the 2023/24 academic year.
Deira International School
Deira International in Dubai Festival City has ranked very good for the past four years. But for the first time, the KHDA/DSIB inspection awarded the school an outstanding status.
Deira International opened in 2005 when it had 240 pupils and a teaching team of 34.
The school has grown to 1,600 pupils from more than 80 countries. About 14 per cent of pupils are Emiratis.
Fees start from Dh42,487 for foundation stage through to Dh85,599 for sixth form.
Nord Anglia International School
Opened in 2014, Nord Anglia International School is a popular choice among parents and follows the UK curriculum.

Fees start at Dh66,302 for foundation stage through to Dh100,264 for year 13.

This year, it was awarded the KHDA outstanding rating.

FFP EXPLAINED
What is Financial Fair Play?
Introduced in 2011 by Uefa, European football’s governing body, it demands that clubs live within their means. Chiefly, spend within their income and not make substantial losses.
What the rules dictate?
The second phase of its implementation limits losses to €30 million (Dh136m) over three seasons. Extra expenditure is permitted for investment in sustainable areas (youth academies, stadium development, etc). Money provided by owners is not viewed as income. Revenue from “related parties” to those owners is assessed by Uefa's “financial control body” to be sure it is a fair value, or in line with market prices.
What are the penalties?
There are a number of punishments, including fines, a loss of prize money or having to reduce squad size for European competition – as happened to PSG in 2014. There is even the threat of a competition ban, which could in theory lead to PSG’s suspension from the Uefa Champions League.

Red Star Belgrade v Tottenham Hotspur, midnight (Thursday), UAE
Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026
1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years
If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.
2. E-invoicing in the UAE
Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption.
3. More tax audits
Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks.
4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime
Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.
5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit
There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.
6. Further transfer pricing enforcement
Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes.
7. Limited time periods for audits
Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion.
8. Pillar 2 implementation
Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.
9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services
Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations.
10. Substance and CbC reporting focus
Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.

How to invest in gold
Investors can tap into the gold price by purchasing physical jewellery, coins and even gold bars, but these need to be stored safely and possibly insured.
A cheaper and more straightforward way to benefit from gold price growth is to buy an exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Most advisers suggest sticking to “physical” ETFs. These hold actual gold bullion, bars and coins in a vault on investors’ behalf. Others do not hold gold but use derivatives to track the price instead, adding an extra layer of risk. The two biggest physical gold ETFs are SPDR Gold Trust and iShares Gold Trust.
Another way to invest in gold’s success is to buy gold mining stocks, but Mr Gravier says this brings added risks and can be more volatile. “They have a serious downside potential should the price consolidate.”
Mr Kyprianou says gold and gold miners are two different asset classes. “One is a commodity and the other is a company stock, which means they behave differently.”
Mining companies are a business, susceptible to other market forces, such as worker availability, health and safety, strikes, debt levels, and so on. “These have nothing to do with gold at all. It means that some companies will survive, others won’t.”
By contrast, when gold is mined, it just sits in a vault. “It doesn’t even rust, which means it retains its value,” Mr Kyprianou says.
You may already have exposure to gold miners in your portfolio, say, through an international ETF or actively managed mutual fund.
You could spread this risk with an actively managed fund that invests in a spread of gold miners, with the best known being BlackRock Gold & General. It is up an incredible 55 per cent over the past year, and 240 per cent over five years. As always, past performance is no guide to the future.

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.
Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.
“Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.
“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.
Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.
From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.
Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.
BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.
Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.
Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.
“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.
Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.
“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.
“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”
