- Uniform — uniform is required and charged separately; cost depends on items purchased.
- Additional optional charges that may apply: external individual music tuition, optional residential trips or external exam fees — these are charged separately when provided.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Fees are presented on a per-term and per-year basis; invoices and the exact payment schedule (deadlines, instalment dates, and any deposit requirements) are defined in the school's enrolment/education contract.
- The school may require an advance payment/deposit to secure a place; example contractual practice includes an advance (e.g., RUB 100,000) to be paid within a set number of banking days after contract signing and credited against the first charged period.
- Currency and exchange-rate handling for payments made in roubles are governed by the contract: amounts payable in roubles are calculated at the Central Bank of the Russian Federation exchange rate on the day of payment; an established minimum rate may apply in certain circumstances.
Refunds, cancellations and non-payment
- Entrance/assessment fees are treated as one-time admissions charges and are non-refundable.
- Withdrawals during an academic period typically do not result in refunds for that period's fees; the contract sets the precise refund, cancellation and notice rules. The school may retain payments already received for the relevant academic period if withdrawal is at the parent's initiative.
- In cases of force majeure or extraordinary governmental measures, the school may change the format of delivery (including remote delivery) without altering the published fee amount and without offering refunds for suspended lessons, as specified in standard contractual clauses.
- Non-payment can lead to suspension of services or termination of the contract and may incur penalties as set out in the contract.
Boarding
- No boarding programme is listed. The school operates as a day school with after‑school and extended‑day care options (services available up to 19:00).
Fee payment methods and practical details
- Accepted currencies and payment processing rules are specified in the contract; payments may be accepted in Russian roubles or in euros, with the contract specifying the exchange‑rate rule for rouble settlements.
- Common available payment methods include bank transfer to the school's account (bank details provided in the contract; transfer costs borne by the payer), card payments at campus locations, and cash payments at the school cash office where available. Specifics and bank details are provided in contractual and admissions paperwork.
Summary guidance for parents
- Tuition rates are published per term and per year for both the International (EUR) and Russian (RUB) programmes; a one-time assessment fee is charged on enrolment for each programme. Some clubs and services are included in tuition and others are charged separately (extended day, paid clubs, transport, uniform). The formal enrolment contract specifies payment deadlines, instalment schedules, deposit/advance requirements, accepted payment methods, and the detailed refund/cancellation terms.
