Fees

Annual tuition at Fifth Dimension Elementary School ranges from AED 34,000 to AED 37,500 for 2026/27.

Application and assessment fees

- Application fee: AED 525 (inclusive of VAT). AED 525 is charged again as an assessment fee for new applicants. Both the application fee and the assessment fee are one‑time charges and are non-transferable and non‑refundable.

Registration / seat‑reservation deposit

- Registration deposit: 10% of the annual tuition fee, payable within 10 days of acceptance of an offer. The registration deposit is taken as a seat reservation and is deducted from the first term tuition balance. Sources list this deposit as required when an offer is accepted.

Annual tuition fees (by year group)

- Pre‑KG / KG1 / KG2: AED 34,000 per year.
- Grades 1, 2 and 3: AED 36,000 per year.
- Grades 4 and 5: AED 37,500 per year.

These are the published annual tuition amounts for the school's elementary year groups.

Per‑term breakdown (computed using common Dubai term split)

- Many Dubai schools present term billing as three instalments using a 40% / 30% / 30% split (Term 1 : Term 2 : Term 3). The per‑term amounts below are calculated by applying that 40/30/30 split to the published annual tuition figures and show how the annual amounts are typically split across the three terms:

- For AED 34,000 (Pre‑KG / KG1 / KG2):
- Term 1 (40%): AED 13,600
- Term 2 (30%): AED 10,200
- Term 3 (30%): AED 10,200

- For AED 36,000 (Grades 1–3):
- Term 1 (40%): AED 14,400
- Term 2 (30%): AED 10,800
- Term 3 (30%): AED 10,800

- For AED 37,500 (Grades 4–5):
- Term 1 (40%): AED 15,000
- Term 2 (30%): AED 11,250
- Term 3 (30%): AED 11,250

- Practical note on the first‑term payment: the 10% registration deposit is normally deducted from the Term 1 balance. Example: for a KG place with AED 34,000 annual tuition, the registration deposit = AED 3,400; if Term 1 is AED 13,600, the remaining Term 1 amount after deposit would be AED 10,200. (The registration deposit amount equals 10% of the annual tuition and is applied against the Term 1 balance.)

Billing schedule and payment terms

- A registration deposit (10% of annual tuition) is payable on acceptance and is adjusted against the first term tuition. Term invoices are issued for three terms in the academic year; standard practice in Dubai is to collect term balances at the start of each term. Specific due dates and invoice timings for this school are part of the school's billing schedule.

Boarding fees

- The school operates as an elementary day school (ages 3–11). No boarding provision or boarding fees are listed for the school.

Other costs and optional services

- Transport: a school transport service is indicated as available; a separate transport charge is typical but no published transport fee amount for this school was listed in the publicly available fee summaries consulted.

- Uniforms, books and other ancillary charges: no separate, itemised uniform or book fees were published in the fee summaries located. Many elementary schools charge for uniforms, books, activity or resource fees as additional items; however, specific amounts for uniform, books, canteen or activity fees were not found in the public fee summaries reviewed for this school.

Refund information

- Application fee and assessment fee: listed as non‑transferable and non‑refundable.
- Registration deposit: listed in public summaries as a required deposit and shown as applied against the first term balance; third‑party listings indicate the deposit is not refundable in routine circumstances.
- No detailed published tuition refund / withdrawal schedule for mid‑year withdrawals (proration rules and exact refund calculations) was located in the public fee summaries consulted.

Fee payment options

- An online fee payment portal was not listed in the school profile summaries consulted (the school's public listings indicate no online fee payment facility). Specific accepted payment channels (bank transfer, cheque, credit card, cash) were not published in the fee summaries located. Many Dubai schools accept bank transfer, cheques, post‑dated cheques or card payments through their accounts office, but no school‑specific payment channel list was published in the public fee summaries reviewed.

Short note on available public information

- The figures above use the school's published annual tuition rates for each year group and the commonly used three‑term split (40% / 30% / 30%) to present term instalments. The one‑time application and assessment charges and the 10% registration deposit requirement are published in the public school listings and fee summaries consulted. Some typical line items that other schools publish separately (exact transport charges, uniforms, books, detailed withdrawal/refund schedule and the school's specific in‑house payment channels) were not available in the public fee summaries that were accessible.
