- Fees information unconfirmed, correct figures not supplied.
- Tuition fees might be for the CBSE section only, the American section could be 50-100% more expensive (at a guess).
- Annual fees paid in 10 monthly instalments?
- Additional Laboratory Fee and Activity Fee. Unclear if school still charging separately, or included in tuition fees, or if school has been instructed by ADEC not to charge these extra charges.
03 April 2010
- Emirates Future International Academy (EFIA) was instructed by the Abu Dhabi Education Council to hold back a fee increase for 2009-2010 after parents complained, according to a 29 March 2010 report in the Gulf News (GN). An ADEC statement said "This school is due to be inspected in the near future, and during the course of the inspection ADEC will carry out a full investigation of these complaints. ADEC has instructed the school to hold all fees at April 2009 levels pending the outcome of that investigation,"
- Then, the school was instructed to refund excess fees already paid. According to the Khaleej Times 03 April 2010, "We are charging now based on 2009-10 fees. The charges for the first instalment will be adjusted in the second instalment," Munira Abu Bana, principal of Emirates Future, told Khaleej Times.
- Actual fees information not supplied or found, but comments in newspaper reports from the school and parents included the following tuition fee amounts:
- AED 2,500-3,000 for grades I-IV in 2008-2009 (AED 250-300 per month)
- AED 4,000 in 2009-2010 (AED 400 per month)
- AED 7,000 in 2010-2011 (AED 700 per month)
- AED 6,000 Grade 10 in 2009-2010
- AED 8,750 Grade 10 for 2010-2011
- AED 6,250 Grade 10 for 2009-2010
- AED 20,000 Grade 11 in 2010-2011
- AED 25,000 Grade 11 in 2010-2011
- The Abu Dhabi Education Zone approved fee for Grade 10 is AED 13,000 according to the KT and GN reports (presumably for 2010-2011).
- EFIA PO Box
128576 according to Abu Dhabi Yellow Pages. Previous information was PO Box 6678, and CBSE information has PO Box
4559, Abu Dhabi. Unknown which is correct.
- CBSE affiliation information from April 2009 is also email
efia1234@emirates.net.ae and Principal
Mr Saji Oommen, but he is referred to as the principal of the Upper Wisdom School in a 27 March 2010 report in The National Abu Dhabi about school waiting lists.
12 April 2008
- ADEZ has Emirates Future International Academy (EFIA) listed as "The UAE Future International Academy Pvt Sch", and American curriculum. But EFIA is an Indian curriculum school offering CBSE?
- ADCCI information is "Emirates Future International Academy Private School", PO Box 128576, tel +971-2-4486680, fax +971-2-4486681, which are also contact details for the "Future Generation Kindergarten School" except for the PO Box?
- Email contact is amer-mohamed@yahoo.com?
- PO Box 6678 is the same as for the National Technical Services (an airconditioning company?)
- Any connection to Wisdom High School? Or previously called Wisdom School?

General Comments - might not apply to Emirates Future International Academy
- Many popular schools are full for 2013-2014. New schools in Abu Dhabi might have places.
