Dubai Schools Al Barsha publishes 2026–27 tuition for nine year groups: AED 30,603 (KG1) to AED 44,829 (Grade 7). Compared with 2025–26, KHDA's approved tuition changed in all nine year groups.
In nine year groups, the fee after the discount moved by a different amount, because the discount on the 2026–27 sheet changed; the row says how.
The first figure is the fee after the discount the school's 2026–27 sheet lists, with KHDA's approved tuition beneath it; the Change column compares KHDA's approved tuition, and where the fee after the discount moved by a different amount, a second line in the row says so and why. A discount can be conditional or for one year only, so confirm it with the school.
Tuition only, as KHDA gives it for each year group; other charges such as uniform, books and transport are listed separately below. A year group the school does not teach is not in the table.
The school's 2026–27 sheet also prints Grade 8 (AED 45,853) and Grade 9 (AED 47,900). KHDA's directory lists the school up to Grade 7, so those year groups are not in the table.

Questions about Dubai Schools Al Barsha 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; 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 changed in all nine year groups for 2026–27; the 2025–26 column shows each figure. In nine year groups, the fee after the discount moved by a different amount, because the discount on the 2026–27 sheet changed; the row says how.
Is there a sibling discount?
Yes. The school's 2026–27 sheet lists sibling discounts on a scale that starts at «Siblings 3 to 8»; «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, Dubai Schools Al Barsha teaches KG1 to Grade 7, and the 2026–27 sheet prices each of them. The sheet also prints Grade 8 and Grade 9, which are not in the table. 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

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.
