Billing schedule and payment terms
- Annual tuition is invoiced as an annual amount and is payable in four instalments (four equal payments). The published tuition figures are stated as annual amounts and the school specifies payment in four instalments.
- A registration/advance amount is required at the time of finalising a new or renewed enrolment; the registration deposit amount is set by the school each year and must be paid to confirm a place.
- Specific instalment due‑dates and any penalties for late payment are governed by the school's published registration and fee policy (parents complete and sign the School's Rules / Terms on registration). The school's registration information states that enrolment is finalised by submitting required documents and payment of the annually set advance amount.
Boarding fees
- The School operates as a day school and does not publish boarding fees (no weekly or full boarding provision is listed). Fees and published information identify the school as a day school.
Other costs and additional charges
- Student transport (school buses): The published annual tuition amounts for the morning compulsory programme include the school bus transport service.
- Books, school supplies, uniforms, optional extracurricular activities, trips, school photographs, canteen or other ad‑hoc charges are not listed as fixed amounts alongside the annual tuition on the published fee page. The school menu shows services such as an e‑Canteen and optional activities that may incur additional charges. Parents should expect separate charges for special activities, optional programmes, consumables and some extracurricular services.
- Example (published for summer programme): short‑course and programme fees, optional supervision with meals and transport for summer programmes are charged separately and specific amounts are shown for those programmes; payment scheduling and amounts for those programmes are handled per programme. This demonstrates that non‑tuition activities are invoiced separately.
Refund information
- For specific short courses (example: a published British Summer School programme), the school's terms state that there is no possibility of refund for that programme. For the main school tuition the published pages indicate that registration requirements and terms are provided in the School's Rules and that a registration/advance amount must be paid; no separate general tuition‑refund schedule with specific refund amounts or formulas is published on the publicly available fee pages.
Fee payment options
- Bank transfer (direct deposit / web banking / ATM) to the School's bank accounts is accepted for programmes where bank details are published (example: Alpha Bank and National Bank IBANs and BICs are given for the British Summer School programme). Payment by cash or cheque at the School's accounting office is also published as an accepted option for programmes that list payment instructions.
- For the main enrolment and annual tuition the school states that fees are payable by the arrangements defined annually by the School's accounting office; instalments and finalisation of registration require payment of the annually set advance amount. Parents are directed to follow the School's registration/payment instructions for the applicable year.
Effective academic year
- The tuition figures above are published for the School Year 2026–27 (published tuition schedule for 2026-27). The school's registration pages describe the enrolment process and the requirement to pay the annually set advance amount to finalise registration.
Note on items not published as fixed figures
- The school's publicly posted fee page gives the annual tuition for each year group and the instalment frequency (four instalments) and specifies inclusion of school bus transport for the morning compulsory programme. Specific published figures for registration deposits, detailed instalment due dates, uniforms, regular annual book packs, canteen card top‑ups, optional extracurricular fee schedules and a general‑purpose tuition refund formula are not published as fixed numbers on the public fee pages; some programme‑specific pages (for example summer programmes) publish their own fee amounts and payment instructions, including bank IBANs and a no‑refund clause for that programme.
