How the fee compares with other British schools
For each year group: how many British schools in Dubai with a 2026–27 fee charge less than Arab Unity 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.

- Year 7: of the 91 British schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, three charge less than Arab Unity School (AED 7,755) and 87 charge more. Every school's Year 7 fee, 2026–27
- Year 13: of the 67 British schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, one charges less than Arab Unity School (AED 10,808) and 65 charge more. Every school's Year 13 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. Lowest British fees by year group, with KHDA ratings
