How the fee compares with other Indian CBSE schools
For each year group: how many Indian CBSE schools in Dubai with a 2026–27 fee charge less than Buds Public 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 30 Indian CBSE schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, 11 charge less than Buds Public School (AED 7,950) and 18 charge more. Every school's KG1 fee, 2026–27
- Grade 6: of the 30 Indian CBSE schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, 13 charge less than Buds Public School (AED 12,000) and 16 charge more. Every school's Grade 6 fee, 2026–27
- Grade 12: of the 25 Indian CBSE schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, eight charge less than Buds Public School (AED 14,200) and 16 charge 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. Lowest Indian CBSE fees by year group, with KHDA ratings

Questions about Buds Public School fees
Does the fee include books, uniform or transport?
No. The figures above are tuition only. The school's 2026–27 sheet lists the other charges in «Other charges» above; transport and trips are priced as a range the school may charge up to. What school costs beyond tuition in Dubai
What was the fee last year?
KHDA's approved tuition for 2025–26 was the same as for 2026–27 in every year group on both sheets; the 2025–26 column shows each figure.
Is there a sibling discount?
Yes. The school's 2026–27 sheet lists sibling discounts on a scale that starts at «Sibling 1»; «Other discounts the school states» in «What a year costs» above gives each one, as listed. Not every discount may apply to every family, so ask the school which apply to yours.
Why are there two figures in some rows?
The first is the fee after the discount the school's 2026–27 sheet lists; the second, «approved», is the tuition KHDA approved for that year group. The note under the table says when to confirm a discount with the school.
Which year group is the entry point?
By KHDA's directory, Buds Public School teaches Pre-KG to Grade 12; the 2026–27 sheet prices KG1 to Grade 12. Which year group a child joins depends on age; enter a birth date and the year-group page works it out. Find the year group by birth date
How does the fee compare with other Indian CBSE schools?
«How the fee compares» above counts, for each year group, how many Indian CBSE schools charge less and how many charge more for 2026–27. «Nearby schools» lists the eight nearest with their figures and ratings.
Will the fee rise next year?
For 2027–28, no figure is published yet: it appears only when KHDA publishes the school's sheet. In most years KHDA sets, through the Education Cost Index, how much a school may raise its fee. KHDA confirmed there will be no increase in private school fees for the 2026–27 school year. The sheet's own line on increases is in «What a year costs» above.
