Al Mawakeb Schools, managed by Academia Management Solutions International (AMSI), have announced that their establishments in Al Garhoud and Al Barsha will introduce an eight per cent increase in school fees for next year, half of the 16 per cent maximum allowed by the Dubai Education Council (DEC).
Adonis Nasr, CEO, of AMSI said, “Some increase in tuition fees is necessary to allow institutions to cope with the increase in operational costs in Dubai, but our main priority is to provide children with high quality and affordable education. To this end, we shall be applying an eight per cent fee increase at Al Mawakeb Schools for the next school year, well within the allowed ceiling.”
Annual tuition fees at the school are competitive, with KG1 starting at AED11,500 through to Grade 12 at AED28,150. The price includes all books, P.E. uniforms, school uniforms, comprehensive personal accident coverage and, when children reach Grade 11, a notebook computer fully loaded with the material required for the students programme.
