Fees	Fees
Fee details	Fee details Applicability and academic year - The figures below apply to the 2025/2026 school year (use these amounts when preparing entries for the external database). Application / registration fees - There is no separate one-off “application fee” listed for standard enrolment; however, for Category III (fee-paying) pupils a non-refundable deposit equal to 25% of the annual school fee is required to confirm or maintain enrolment. For a first enrolment this deposit must be paid before the date set by the school; for continuing pupils it must be paid by the date set for returning pupils. Tuition (minerval) — annual amounts by cycle (Category III pupils) - Nursery cycle (annual): EUR 4,195.58 for Category III pupils enrolled from 2013/2014 onwards. - Primary cycle (annual): EUR 5,768.99 for Category III pupils enrolled from 2013/2014 onwards. - Secondary cycle (annual): EUR 7,866.79 for Category III pupils enrolled from 2013/2014 onwards. - Alternative legacy rates apply to pupils enrolled before 2013/2014 (lower fixed amounts); separate scales apply to certain international employer categories (NAMSA/NATO/UN) — see the separate indexed rates for those groups. Per-term / instalment detail (how the annual charge is billed) - A deposit equal to 25% of the annual tuition is required up front. The remaining 75% is invoiced in October and must be paid within 30 days of that invoice. Parents who request instalment payment by the deadline may pay the remaining 75% in three equal instalments (25% each) on the dates set by the school (example instalment dates for 2025/26: 31 October, 31 January and 31 March). These instalments effectively divide the annual fee into quarters (25% + three 25% payments) when instalments are used. Billing schedule and payment terms - The deposit invoice is issued in the spring (dates differ for new and continuing pupils) and the main invoice is issued in October; the balance is due within the stated deadline or in the authorised instalments if requested by the given cut-off. Non-payment by the specified deadlines may result in the pupil being considered removed from the register and exclusion from the following school year; the deposit is non-refundable. Sibling discounts and indexing - For newly enrolled Category III pupils (from 2013/2014 onwards) a reduction of 20% is applied to the second child and 40% to the third (and subsequent) child from the same family. Different (older) reductions apply to pupils enrolled before 2013/2014. The minerval is indexed annually (example: indexed by 2% in the memorandum). Boarding fees - The European School Luxembourg I operates as a day school; no boarding facility or boarding fees are listed for this school, so boarding fees are not applicable. Other compulsory and routine costs (examples and typical amounts invoiced with the annual bill) - Baccalaureate registration: invoiced to all Year 7 (final-year) pupils (example: EUR 105.98 for the 2025 exam session). - Intermath (primary mathematics books and licence): lump sum included on the invoice (example: EUR 32). - Photocopying / printing lump sum: included on the October invoice (example amounts around EUR 30 depending on cycle and year). - School outings / excursions (primary and nursery): a standard contribution invoiced (example: EUR 100 per child for excursions plus a class-fund contribution of about EUR 40). - Student card / ID fees (secondary years): small one-off card fees apply for some year groups (example banding seen at EUR 4.50 to EUR 15 for certain years). - Insurance: a small annual school insurance charge is applied to pupils (example: EUR 6.50). - Subject-specific or course materials (e.g., Mediterranean World booklet, calculators, recommended BYOD laptop for S5–S7): parents are required to purchase specified materials or licences; modest item charges appear on the October invoice (examples: booklet EUR ~6–7; calculator and laptop costs are borne by parents). - University application handling by the school (optional service): a fee is charged when the school processes applications on behalf of the pupil (example range: EUR 130–260 depending on country). Refunds and cancellation rules - Deposit: non-refundable. - School trips and excursions: refunds are handled after final accounting of actual costs; refunds are net of any cancellation fees and only any unspent or recoverable amounts are returned. For larger trips (example threshold: over EUR 100 per pupil) cancellation insurance may be taken by the school and medical-certificate-supported cancellations may be covered subject to the insurer's terms; exclusions apply for pupil exclusion or late withdrawal. - Changes of category or mid-year changes: where the financial category changes during the year, the minerval is calculated pro rata by the number of months concerned (one month is treated as one tenth of a school year). - Non-payment: if school fees remain unpaid at the end of the school year the pupil may be removed from the register and denied admission for subsequent years; outstanding sums may be recovered by legal action. Payment methods and practical arrangements - Standard invoice payment is by bank transfer / standing order (invoices include bank details and an IBAN); the school and parents' association both provide forms for standing orders. Canteen and meal services use electronic payment cards which are reloaded online. The school issues invoices (deposit in spring; main invoice in October) and specifies payment deadlines and authorised instalment options. Short checklist for data-entry (practical items to include in your database fields) - Annual tuition (Category III, enrolled from 2013/14): Nursery EUR 4,195.58; Primary EUR 5,768.99; Secondary EUR 7,866.79. - Deposit: 25% of annual tuition, non-refundable; invoice dates and instalment schedules as described above. - Other routine charges to list: baccalaureate registration (example EUR 105.98), Intermath (EUR 32), photocopying (≈EUR 30), excursions (EUR 100 + class fund ≈EUR 40), insurance (≈EUR 6.50), university-application handling (EUR 130–260).

Scholarships	Scholarships Financial assistance from the CAS (Comité des Activités Sociales) supports families of pupils at the European School Luxembourg I. The CAS provides an annual budget to fund assistance for school trips and educational projects approved by the director, with the school acting as fiduciary and assistance being deducted from trip invoices. Eligibility includes household income below a defined threshold, proven financial difficulties, lack of other full coverage, and no outstanding debts to the school. The amount of aid depends on net disposable income and family size, ranging from a minimum of EUR 150 plus up to a share of trip costs (up to 50% for one child, up to 62.5% for two children, up to 83.5% for three or more children). Applications must be submitted between 15 January and 15 March for trips and travel projects; required documents include a signed application, household composition, the last three payslips for each parent, proof of child benefit, unemployment certificate if applicable, custody documentation, and any relevant educational documentation. Processing is conducted by the school's accounting department and final decisions are made by the Director; if the budget is exceeded grants are prorated and there is no administrative appeal.
