About this list

Fees are KHDA's approved yearly tuition for 2024-25, the latest year KHDA has published, shown from the lowest grade's price to the highest. Pupils are KHDA's 2024/25 enrolment count. Schools opened since the last inspection round show “Not rated yet”.

Ratings, fees and pupil numbers are shown as KHDA publishes them. Always check the current fees with the school before you apply. Waha has no link with any school.
