<\/figure>Affordable schools continue to play a major role in Dubai’s education sector, particularly for expatriate families balancing tuition fees with overall living expenses. While some premium international schools in Dubai<\/a> charge more than AED 80,000–120,000 annually, many families prefer schools that provide recognised curricula and stable academic standards at more manageable costs.<\/p>Many of Dubai’s lower-cost schools are also long-established institutions with large student communities, experienced teachers and strong academic track records. Several are located in older residential areas where both housing and school fees remain comparatively accessible.<\/p>
