Raffles International School publishes 2026–27 tuition for 15 year groups: AED 34,055 (FS1 and FS2) to AED 87,879 (Year 12 and Year 13). Compared with 2025–26, KHDA's approved tuition is unchanged in every year group that appears on both sheets.
The discount on the 2026–27 sheet is smaller than on the 2025–26 sheet, so the fee after the discount is higher in three year groups; the school did not raise its approved fee.
The Change column compares KHDA's approved tuition; where the fee after the discount moved by a different amount, a second line in the row says so and why.
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.

Questions about Raffles International 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. The discount on the 2026–27 sheet is smaller than on the 2025–26 sheet, so the fee after the discount is higher in three year groups; the school did not raise its approved fee.
Is there a sibling discount?
The school's 2026–27 KHDA sheet does not list one. Ask the school; a discount offered outside the sheet is not on this page.
Which year group is the entry point?
By KHDA's directory, Raffles International School teaches FS1 to Year 13, and the 2026–27 sheet prices each of them. 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 British schools?
«How the fee compares» above counts, for each year group, how many British 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.
