New KHDA factsheets reveal Indian schools in Dubai with lowest fees and highest inspection rating

by Tabitha BardaJune 2, 2022

Which are the most affordable Indian schools in Dubai? The first KHDA School Fees Factsheets, which for the first time reveal the true cost of an education in Dubai, have now been published.

Previously the only fees listed on most school websites was the top-line tuition fees – but this often only constitutes a fraction of what parents will be charged for during the year, when other ‘hidden’ costs are taken into account.

But now every parent can discover right from the offset the full amount that they might need to pay throughout the academic year, including all possible charges – from transportation, uniforms and books, to school trips and extra curricular activities.

The first phase of School Fees KHDA Factsheets for schools starting their academic year in April have now been published. Encompassing mostly Indian-curriculum schools, this means that parents of more than 81,000 students across 35 schools in Dubai now have access to a fully transparent, comprehensive breakdown of everything they could be expected to pay for in the year ahead. Schools that start their academic year in September 2022 will get access to the service before the close of the current academic year.

The REAL cost of education in Dubai: Full updated 2022/23 list of all school fees of Indian curriculum schools

The following table lists the updated, fully comprehensive fees for Indian curriculum schools in Dubai, ranked in order of the cost of their fees, from lowest to highest.

Each school is required to provide the lowest possible fees and the highest possible fees that a parent might have to pay. We have chosen to sort based on the lowest possible fees, so that you can work out the most affordable Indian schools in Dubai.

Another key figure column is “Average Fees” which identifies the average fees parents can be expected to pay when averaged across all years should a child enter the school in Pre-primary/FS1 and Leave in Grade 12/Year 13.

This table should be used as a swift way to identify those affordable Indian schools that fall within your targeted budget.

The table will not tell you the quality of a given school – for that you should refer to the KHDA Inspection rating, which is also in the table, or check out our detailed reviews on SchoolsCompared.com or our sister site WhichSchoolAdvisor.com.
