For parents, one of the important aspects when choosing a school is the structure of tuition fees. To help guide you in your choice, here is an article about the tuition fee framework at SISD.
How do you pay school fees at SISD?

You can see a full breakdown of our fees on our website.
The first fee you pay at SISD is the Assessment Fee, which is AED 525, due when your child takes the entrance exam.
Within 7 days of getting your child’s Offer Letter, you then pay a registration fee that depends on the Grade your child is entering. This registration fee reserves a place for your child and is deductible from your final tuition fee. The fee is non-refundable except in circumstances that are beyond your control, such as relocation. After this, you may pay the re-enrolment fee to ensure that your child keeps their place.
Semester fees

Your child’s annual tuition can be paid upfront or in two installments of 50% each, which is due in the first semester and the second semester respectively. Typically, they are due on August 31 and January 31. These tuition fees include books, costs of exams, internal ASAs (upon availability) and Early Years Childcare as per availability, as well as inclusion measures as per guidelines.

Discounts and preferred rates

Don’t forget that discounts are available! SISD has just launched a discount to support secondary parents. You might also be entitled to sibling discounts as per our terms and conditions! Finally, we recommend you ask your employer whether they have a corporate rates agreement with our school.

Boarding fees
If you choose to enroll your child as a full boarding student, you can opt for boarding school fees, which include tuition, meals, activities and much more. This is of course more expensive, and additionally includes a deposit.
How do you apply for admission at SISD?

Getting started with SISD can be done online. You’ll need a list of important documents about yourself and your child, including your passports and your child’s passport, your child’s report cards and any diagnostic tests and psychological assessments. The full list is on our website.
