Rugby School publishes 2026–27 tuition for 15 year groups: AED 59,518 (FS1 and FS2) to AED 108,000 (Year 12 and Year 13). It is the school's first KHDA Fees Fact Sheet, so there is no earlier year to compare.
The first figure is the fee after the discount the school's 2026–27 sheet lists, with KHDA's approved tuition beneath it. 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 sheets also price two groups for children under three, which KHDA names by age, ECC (1-2) and ECC (2-3): AED 54,000 each after the discount, approved AED 60,000.

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 Rugby 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, 85 charge less than Rugby School (AED 59,518) and seven charge more. Every school's FS1 fee, 2026–27
- Year 7: of the 91 British schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, 81 charge less than Rugby School (AED 85,500) and nine charge more. Every school's Year 7 fee, 2026–27
- Year 13: of the 67 British schools publishing 2026–27 tuition for it, 63 charge less than Rugby School (AED 108,000) and three 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

Questions about Rugby 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?
2026–27 is the first year KHDA has published a Fees Fact Sheet for Rugby School, so there is no earlier figure on file.
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?
KHDA's directory publishes no year groups for Rugby School; its 2026–27 sheet prices FS1 to Year 13. 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.
