Fee Structure

Dubai British School Mira structures tuition on a gradual scale: younger students pay 51,477 dirhams annually (2026 rates), which rises to 58,836 for middle years and 69,872 for older students. The school plans to add Years 12-13 soon, with fees reaching 77,217 dirhams—a reflection of international exam preparation demands. Payment divides unevenly across three terms, with the first always carrying the heaviest load since it absorbs most annual costs, though this arrangement lets families manage their budget throughout the calendar year.

Initial Payments

Enrollment begins with three required fees: a 525-dirham application charge that covers document review and testing, followed by a non-refundable 4,000-dirham registration fee that secures the spot and applies toward the first term. Each year also requires a 2,000-dirham re-registration deposit, which the school refunds only if families relocate to another emirate or country—documentation required, ensuring parents remain committed to continuing their child’s education here.

Additional Costs at Dubai British School Mira

Beyond baseline tuition, the school collects KHDA administrative fees: 120 dirhams for standard documentation, 520 for urgent school transfers. Textbooks and materials come separately, priced by grade level, with refunds possible only before the academic year begins. For students needing specialized educational support, Dubai British School Mira helps arrange individual specialists, though families cover these services independently—costs vary based on session intensity and the specific assistance their child requires.

Payment Deadlines

Dubai British School Mira maintains strict payment schedules: first term closes August 1st, second by December 1st, third by March 1st. Students cannot start classes without full first-term payment, and personal checks aren’t accepted within five business days of term start. The school handles cash, Visa, MasterCard, bank transfers, and checks—preferring corporate checks, while personal ones need three business days’ clearance. Bounced or returned checks incur a 500-dirham penalty, encouraging parents to verify their account status beforehand.
