This option is listed as 12 monthly payments and is shown as including Hub access and Learning Coach support; this option does not carry the Admissions Fee.
Tuition fees by year group - The published information shows a single annual tuition figure for secondary year groups (Grades 7–12) under the British model: EUR 8,448 per year. No differentiated tuition scale by individual grade within 7–12 is published. Annual totals for other curricula correspond to their monthly rates multiplied by 12.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Standard billing frequency: 12 monthly payments (monthly billing). EUR amounts above are based on 12 equal monthly instalments. - The Admissions Fee is payable prior to enrolment. - Registration Renewal Fee: EUR 500, payable annually after the Learner's first 12 months and in subsequent years. - Discounts: a 3% discount is available for paying 12 months upfront; sibling discounts are published as 5% and 7.5% off the total monthly fee (published guidance identifies the 2nd child at 5% and the 3rd child at 7.5%).
Boarding fees - No boarding programme or boarding fees are published. The school operates a hybrid model with local Hubs rather than a boarding residence.
Other costs and additional fees - AP course surcharge (American curriculum): EUR 650 per AP course. - Registration Renewal Fee (annual, after 12 months): EUR 500. - One-time first-year total example: For the British model, the first year total (Admissions Fee + first-year tuition) is EUR 10,098 (Admissions Fee EUR 1,650 + annual tuition EUR 8,448). - No published line-item for uniforms, school lunches, transport, exam invigilation/courier charges, or textbook/materials is available on the published fee pages. Where additional costs (for example, examination-related charges) may apply, they are not itemised in the publicly posted fee summary.
Refund information - The published fee materials do not include a specific refund policy or detailed refund terms for fees on the public fee pages. No explicit refund provisions are published in the fee summary.
Fee payment options - Specific payment methods (for example, which card types, online gateways, or bank transfer details) are not published on the public fee summary. The admissions process indicates that contract and payment details are provided after the onboarding step, rather than listing payment channels on the public fees page.
Brief summary of availability and limits of published fee information - Published and verifiable: Admissions Fee (EUR 1,650), monthly rates for each curriculum (British EUR 704, American EUR 995, Own Curriculum EUR 475), AP surcharge (EUR 650 per course), Registration Renewal Fee (EUR 500), sibling discounts (5% / 7.5%), and upfront-payment discount (3% for 12 months paid in advance). Annual totals can be derived by multiplying the monthly rate by 12 (for example, British annual tuition EUR 8,448). - Not published / not itemised: per-term amounts (the school uses a 12-month billing model and does not publish a termly schedule or term-by-term fees), specific fee breakdowns for items such as uniforms, transport, meals, exam invigilation/courier charges, a formal published refund policy, and the exact accepted payment channels. These items are not listed on the public fee pages and therefore are not available in the published fee summary.
