Nad Al Sheba, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) and Arabian Ranches remain the three most expensive areas where school fees are highest. Deira, Al Karama and Al Qusais/Muhaisnah are the areas with the most affordable schools offering the lowest tuition fees in Dubai. Schools in Deira are considered the lowest, averaging AED 169,345 in fees for all year groups.
