Introduction
There is no single figure for British curriculum school fees in Sharjah. Fees are set per year group and rise as a child moves from Foundation Stage through primary and into secondary, so the only reliable way to budget is to check the fee schedule stage by stage rather than relying on one headline number. PACE British School, based in School Zone, Muweilah, publishes its official fee structure for the current 2026/27 academic year, covering the full journey from FS1 through to Year 13.
This guide sets out PACE British School’s current fee structure, what typically sits inside and outside a quoted school fee in Sharjah, and what to check before enrolling.

What a Quoted School Fee Usually Includes
Core Tuition
This is the figure most schools quote first, and it covers teaching and standard classroom resources for the academic year. It is rarely the entire cost of schooling, so treat it as a starting point rather than the full picture.
Registration and Re-Enrolment
PACE British School charges a one-off, non-refundable AED 500 registration fee separate from annual tuition when a child first joins. Ask whether a re-enrolment or continuation fee also applies each year afterwards.
Examination Fees for Senior Years
For Years 10 through 13, examination board fees are usually charged in addition to tuition. PACE British School’s secondary years work towards Cambridge and Pearson examination pathways, including through Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13), so ask specifically how exam entry fees are billed for these years.
Transport, Uniform and Books
These are commonly billed separately from tuition rather than bundled into the headline fee. Transport costs in particular vary by location, so ask for this as its own line item rather than assuming it is included.
What to Check Before Enrolling
When comparing British curriculum school fees in Sharjah, it helps to ask each school directly:
- What does the quoted tuition figure include, and what is billed separately?
- How are examination fees handled for Years 10 through 13?
- Are fees billed termly or annually, and what happens if a child withdraws or transfers mid-term?
- What year groups does the school currently teach, from Foundation Stage through to Sixth Form?
About PACE British School, Muweilah, Sharjah
PACE British School is based in School Zone, Muweilah, Sharjah, and is part of the wider PACE Group, which has operated schools across the region for more than two decades. Its 2026/27 fee schedule covers FS1 through Year 13, with Cambridge and Pearson examination pathways through to Sixth Form, and the school holds affiliations with AOBSO, BSME, COBIS and BSQ. Private schools in Sharjah, including PACE British School, register with the Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) as part of standard admissions. You can read more about schools in Sharjah generally and how to match a British school to your family’s preferences.
The school runs an open day programme for prospective families, giving parents the chance to see classrooms, meet staff and ask questions directly, which is generally a more reliable way to judge fit than a fee table alone.
Comparing Fees Against What Is Delivered
The most useful comparison between schools is fee against what is actually delivered, not fee alone. A school charging a similar rate to its neighbours but offering a full Sixth Form pathway, recognised examination boards and international accreditation is generally offering more for the same money than one without these. When you receive a fee schedule from any school, weigh it against the curriculum stages covered, the examination boards used, class sizes if published, and what pastoral and inclusion support is included as standard rather than charged separately. This overview of British schools in Sharjah is a useful starting point for that comparison, and this list of the best British schools in Sharjah covers what else to weigh alongside fees.
