Application / registration fee

- A joining/registration fee is charged to initiate admission. Registration fees are deductible from the annual tuition and, where charged, must not exceed 5% of the annual tuition fee. The school follows the Abu Dhabi approval rules that set this limit.

Tuition per term / billing schedule and payment terms

- The school collects tuition in a minimum of three installments per academic year (minimum three payments). Exact installment amounts and due dates are set by the school; the approved fee schedule requires at least three installments. Because the school publishes only annual tuition levels in the ADEK-approved schedule, a simple equal-three-way split of the annual tuition is an arithmetic inference (annual tuition ÷ 3) and may not match the school's chosen installment values or calendar.

Boarding

- Boarding is not applicable. SABIS International School – Yas Island operates as a day school; there is no boarding programme at this campus.

Other costs and mandatory / commonly charged additional fees

- Books: AED 8,000 per year (listed separately in the ADEK-approved fee schedule). This is a separate charge in the schedule in addition to annual tuition.
- Transportation (school bus): transport service is available but bus fees are not published as fixed amounts in the ADEK-approved fee schedule; transportation is charged separately.
- Uniform: a school uniform is required; uniform charges are not published as a fixed amount in the ADEK-approved fee schedule and are treated as a separate cost.
- Extracurricular activities, meals, examination fees and some specialty items are charged in addition to tuition when applicable; these items are not included in the annual tuition figures shown in the approved schedule.

Refunds and deposits

- The approved fee schedule explicitly prohibits the school from accepting any financial guarantee or deposit from guardians to secure enrollment, even if the same is refundable. Registration fees, when charged, are deductible from the tuition; the schedule does not publish a separate refundable-deposit scheme. Fees and fee levels published in the ADEK-approved schedule cannot be increased without prior written approval from the regulator.

Fee payment arrangements and options

- Fees are payable to the school's accounting department. The school's published admissions/fees page directs payment processing through the school's accounting office.
- Publicly available listings indicate there is no online fee-payment facility for this campus; parents should expect to use the school's accepted local payment channels (paying via the school's accounting office) rather than a published online portal. Confirmed, bank transfer or card acceptance policies are not published in the ADEK-approved schedule.

Regulatory and practical notes (billing practice)

- The annual tuition figures above are the ADEK-approved maximum levels shown in the school's fee schedule for AY 2025–2026; the regulator requires that these levels be used until any subsequent approved change. Fees cannot be increased without regulator approval.
