How the fee compares with other MoE schools
For each year group: how many MoE schools in Dubai with a 2026–27 fee charge less than Al Arqam Private School, and how many charge more. This is a count, not a ranking; a fee says nothing about a school's rating or whether it has places available.
- KG1: of the six MoE schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, two charge less than Al Arqam Private School (AED 8,601) and three charge more. Every school's KG1 fee, 2026–27
- Grade 6: of the eight MoE schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, five charge less than Al Arqam Private School (AED 10,947) and two charge more. Every school's Grade 6 fee, 2026–27
- Grade 12: of the seven MoE schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, five charge less than Al Arqam Private School (AED 18,346) and one charges more. Every school's Grade 12 fee, 2026–27
Counted from the fee each school's 2026–27 KHDA Fees Fact Sheet gives for the year group, after any discount it lists, the same basis as the fee pages by year group. A discount can be for one year or conditional, so the count can shift when a discount ends.
