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 Horizon 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, 45 charge less than Horizon International School (AED 38,832) and 47 charge more. Every school's FS1 fee, 2026–27
- Year 7: of the 91 British schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, 53 charge less than Horizon International School (AED 61,587) and 37 charge more. Every school's Year 7 fee, 2026–27
- Year 13: of the 67 British schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, 35 charge less than Horizon International School (AED 73,124) and 31 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
