Fee details	Fee details —	Fee details Application fees - There is a non-refundable application / registration fee of EUR 1,000. Tuition fees by year group (annual and per-term breakdown for the 2025/26 academic year) - Published annual tuition ranges: EUR 10,000 to EUR 20,000 depending on grade level and programme. - Specific published figures for the 2025/26 academic year (where provided): - Middle School (listed as the lower secondary / middle level): EUR 14,900 per year (EUR 7,450 per term when billed biannually). - A-Level pathway (Grades 11–12): EUR 17,000 per year (EUR 8,500 per term when billed biannually). - Where only an annual range is published, per-term figures above are the simple half-year instalment value based on the school's published biannual billing pattern. Billing schedule and payment terms - Billing is published as biannual instalments: payments are due in September and in December (two instalments per academic year). Parents should expect the school to require payment according to that schedule. - The school states that fees are subject to change without notice. Boarding fees - Owl Academy operates as an online / hybrid day school model; no boarding programme or boarding fees are published for the school. Other costs and fees - Summer courses and special external programmes (for example, summer courses offered in partnership with external providers) carry additional fees beyond standard tuition. - The school lists a bank account for fee payments; other specific ancillary charges (for example, exam entry fees, textbooks, travel for external trips, or optional activity fees) are not published in a detailed public schedule and may apply depending on chosen courses and activities. - Uniform: students are not required to wear a school uniform. Refund information - The application / registration fee is explicitly non-refundable. No general, detailed public policy for tuition refunds (for withdrawals, cancelled enrolment, or other circumstances) is published in the publicly available fee material. Parents should note the school's statement that fees may change and that the application fee is non-refundable. Fee payment options - Bank transfer: the school publishes Belfius bank account details for fee payments (Owl Academy International School, Belfius Bank BE 4306 8952 479201). Bank transfer is a documented payment option. - Other payment methods (credit card, online payment processors, direct debit) are not explicitly detailed in the publicly available fee information. Parents should expect bank transfer to be accepted and that other methods, if available, will be provided directly by the school at the time of invoicing. Brief note on available published detail - The school publishes a clear application fee and gives annual tuition ranges and some specific figures for the 2025/26 year, together with a biannual billing schedule. A full, published breakdown listing every grade/year with an explicit per-year and per-term tariff for each year group was not publicly available in the school's published fee pages or directory summaries for the 2025/26 academic year. For that reason, annual figures above are given where published and per-term figures are shown as half-year instalments based on the published biannual billing schedule.
