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 Cambridge International 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.
- FS1: of the 93 British schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, 30 charge less than Cambridge International School (AED 23,795), one charges the same and 61 charge more. Every school's FS1 fee, 2026–27
- Year 7: of the 91 British schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, 30 charge less than Cambridge International School (AED 32,448), one charges the same and 59 charge more. Every school's Year 7 fee, 2026–27
- Year 13: of the 67 British schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, 19 charge less than Cambridge International School (AED 36,775) and 47 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
