International Indian School

India International School Sharjah is located in the Muwaileh (Muwailah) area of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. It sits in the Muweilah School Zone, near University City, with access to main roads and local amenities. The campus serves relocating families seeking an Indian-curriculum option in the Sharjah area.

The school offers kindergarten through grade 12 under the CBSE framework. The primary stage is Grades 1–5, the middle stage Grades 6–8, and the secondary stage Grades 9–12, with CBSE Senior Secondary aligned through Grade 12. KG1–KG2 are part of the early years provision.

The school operates as a private CBSE institution delivering an Indian curriculum. It is mixed-gender in the early years, with gender segregation beginning from Grade 3.

Additional learning support is provided by two dedicated special educators (Ms. Asra and Ms. Jasmine) and by counselors and wellness staff (Mr. Saheermon, Ms. Haleema, and Ms. Aysath with Mr. Anaz Mohammad).

The school is affiliated with the CBSE board of India (Affiliation No. 6630068) and follows CBSE curriculum.

Religious instruction includes Islamic Studies for Muslim students and Moral Science for non-Muslim students; Arabic is compulsory from Grade 1.

School hours are KG1–KG2 from 7:15 am to 12:30 pm, and Grades 1–12 from 7:15 am to 2:45 pm. The school office operates roughly 7:15 am to 4:30 pm (Monday–Thursday).

A school bus service operates with designated common stops. Bus rules specify that transport is a privilege, not a right; changes require written approval, and one-way transport is not available. Buses have cameras, and drivers and supervisors are trained. Transport-related details, fees, and cancellations are managed through the school transport system.

Application / Registration fees

- The school does not publish a single, fixed “application fee” figure on public fact sheets; standard practice in the UAE is that schools may charge a modest application processing fee and a registration/seat deposit when an offer is accepted. The registration/seat deposit is commonly taken at the time of acceptance and is typically deductible from the first term's tuition (subject to the school's admission terms).

Tuition fees by year group (annual and per-term amounts)

- The school's published ministry-approved annual tuition by year group is:
- KG1: AED 7,790 per year. Per term (annual ÷ 3): AED 2,597 per term.
- KG2: AED 7,790 per year. Per term: AED 2,597 per term.
- Grade 1: AED 7,995 per year. Per term: AED 2,665 per term.
- Grade 2: AED 7,995 per year. Per term: AED 2,665 per term.

- The above are the school's ministry-approved annual tuition figures and the per-term amounts shown are the result of dividing the annual tuition by three (the school year in UAE private schools is commonly structured into three terms; per-term figures are provided here as installment equivalents).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Fees are normally billed on an annual basis and may be payable in termly instalments. Many UAE private schools use a three-term academic year and allow tuition to be collected in three instalments (one per term). Where termly billing is used, installment proportions commonly follow the model: first term up to 40% of annual tuition, second term up to 30%, third term up to 30% (this is the standard regulatory approach used for UAE private school fee instalments). Parents should plan for an up-front registration/seat deposit at admission and a first-term payment to secure the place.

Boarding / residential fees

- India International School (Sharjah) operates as a day school; full-time boarding or residential fees are not applicable.

Other costs and optional charges

- Transportation: annual bus charges depend on pick-up area. Typical currently published ranges for India International School (Sharjah) are AED 2,000 (nearby areas) to AED 3,000 (services into Dubai/Ajman or selected zones) for the school year (figures quoted as annual transport charges, usually covering a 10-month service). Transport cannot normally be discontinued mid-term.

- External test / exam charges: charges for external benchmark/assessment tests or board exam registration (where applicable) are applied according to regulator or CBSE/SPEA rules and may be billed in addition to tuition. Expect separate charges for board/registration or external examination where relevant (for senior grades).

- Resource / books / school materials / uniforms: textbooks, resource packs and uniform costs are typically billed or sold separately and are not included in the tuition figures above. Budget for a one-off uniform and book/resource cost at admission and periodic replacement thereafter; specific amounts are not shown in the school's public tuition table and are handled at time of admission.

- Miscellaneous optional charges: extracurricular activity fees, annual day/event charges, and other optional services are commonly charged separately by UAE schools. Parents should budget for incidental fees in addition to tuition and transport.

Refund information

- Refunds and deposit retention follow UAE private-school fee regulations: registration/re-registration deposits are normally non-refundable except in defined circumstances (for example where the school does not offer a place or in certain approved relocation cases). If a student withdraws after term start, schools commonly deduct a proportion of tuition depending on how long the student attended in that term (examples used in the sector: up to one month — one month's fees may be retained; more than a month — a full term may be retained). Schools generally calculate refunds from the start of the term to the date of a formal withdrawal request. These are standard regulatory positions for private-school fee refund handling in the UAE.

Fee payment options

- Commonly accepted payment methods for the school's fees include: in-person cash and card payments, bank transfer/online payment and school payment portals where available. Cheque acceptance and specific card options vary by school. Plan to pay the registration deposit and first-term instalment at the point of acceptance.

Notes and practical points for parents

- The tuition figures above are the ministry-approved annual tuition amounts for each grade; per-term amounts shown are the result of dividing the published annual fee by three, reflecting the typical three-term academic structure used by UAE schools. Parents should budget additional sums for transport, uniforms, books, exam registration and optional activities.

- Sibling discounts and occasional concessionary/discounted fee rates may be offered by the school; these are applied to tuition and vary by circumstance.

The school publicly lists a wide range of nationalities in its online registration system, indicating a diverse intake (e.g., Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, United States, and many others). Exact current nationality proportions are not publicly disclosed.
