How to read these numbers
- They cover schools listed on BestSchool.pk, not every school in Islamabad.
- 58 of the 130 listed schools have no monthly fee on file yet, so they are not included.
- Schools without a listed curriculum are counted only in the "All Islamabad schools with a fee" row.
- A curriculum with fewer than 5 schools that have a fee is not shown separately; those schools are still in the "All" row.
- Fees below PKR 500 a month are treated as placeholders and left out.
- These are monthly tuition fees only. Admission fees, annual or development charges, exam fees, transport, uniforms and books come on top.
Costs on top of monthly tuition
When you compare schools, ask each one for the full cost of a year in writing: the one-time admission fee, any annual or development charge, examination fees (Cambridge exam fees are usually billed separately), transport, uniforms and books. Our guides to hidden school costs and development fees explain what to ask.
