Star International School – Mirdif publishes 2026–27 tuition for 15 year groups: AED 32,730 (FS1) to AED 57,510 (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 all 15 year groups; the school did not raise its approved fee.
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.

Questions about Star International School – Mirdif fees

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?

The discount on the 2026–27 sheet is smaller than on the 2025–26 sheet, so the fee after the discount is higher in all 15 year groups; the school did not raise its approved fee.
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?
By KHDA's directory, Star International School – Mirdif 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
