Fees	Fees
Fee details	Fee details Application fees - No separate application or registration fee is specified in the school's admissions documentation or FAQs; applications are submitted through the school's admissions portal. Tuition fees (by year group and per term) - Annual tuition: SEK 12,000 per student (applies to all year groups). - Billing frequency: The annual tuition is invoiced bi‑annually (two invoices per academic year). - Per‑term amount (for billing purposes): SEK 6,000 per invoice (calculated as SEK 12,000 ÷ 2 because the annual tuition is invoiced twice per year). Billing schedule and payment terms - Invoice timings: One invoice is issued at the start of the fall term and one invoice is issued at the start of the spring term. - Start of liability: The annual tuition applies from first acceptance of enrollment; the fee is charged even for mid‑term enrollments. - Refunds and reductions: No part of the annual tuition is reduced or refunded for delayed entry, absence, or withdrawal. Boarding fees (if applicable) - Boarding provision: The school operates as a day school (no boarding provision). There are no boarding fees. Other costs and typical additional charges - No separate published charges for uniforms, registration fees, development fees, exam fees, or school lunch charges are listed in the school's publicly available admissions and program materials. After‑school care is provided, but its page does not list a separate fee schedule. - Incidental costs (for example: excursions, specialist trips, external examination charges, materials for optional activities) are not itemized in the admissions policy and are not included in the stated annual tuition. Refund information - The school will not reduce or refund any portion of the annual tuition for delayed entry, absence, or withdrawal; the annual tuition is payable in full and applies from acceptance. Fee payment options and invoicing method - Invoicing: Tuition is invoiced bi‑annually as described above. - Payment methods: Specific accepted payment methods (for example bank transfer, credit card, Swish, or direct debit) are not specified in the published admissions or program materials. Applications are processed through the school's admissions portal. For billing enquiries the school provides admissions and general contact email addresses. Concise summary of missing fee details (items not published in admissions/program documents) - No published amount for any application or registration fee. - No per‑year‑group differential fees — the tuition is a single annual rate for all year groups. - No published boarding fees (school is day only). - No published schedule of charges for uniforms, lunches, or after‑school care. - No published list of accepted payment methods or detailed billing/payment instructions.	Fee details Application fees - There is no application or registration fee to place a child on Vasa International School of Stockholm's waiting list. Enrollment registration is free and there is no entrance exam. Tuition fees by school year (PYP and MYP) - Bilingual stream (50% Swedish / 50% English): no tuition charge for PYP or MYP; the bilingual programme is provided without school tuition fees. - International English stream (100% English) — PYP and MYP: SEK 1,000 per month for each pupil enrolled in the English stream. This monthly rate applies across the PYP and MYP year groups where the English stream is in operation. - Annual / per-term equivalents: tuition is stated as a monthly charge (SEK 1,000 per month). Depending on how a full-year charge is applied by the school, that monthly rate equates to SEK 12,000 if charged for 12 months or SEK 10,000 if charged across a 10‑month school-year billing period (some external listings record an annual figure of SEK 10,000 for the international stream in 2025/26). The school's published statement gives the monthly amount as the core figure. Billing schedule and payment terms - The published fee is expressed as a monthly charge (SEK 1,000 per month for the English stream), indicating monthly billing for that stream. Specific invoice dates, payment deadlines, instalment plans, penalties for late payment, and whether fees are collected per term or per academic year are not detailed in the school's fee statements. Boarding fees - Boarding is not applicable. Vasa International School of Stockholm is a day school (no boarding facilities). Other costs and fees - No specific, school-wide charges (such as uniform fees, instrument hire, curriculum materials, lunch, school trips, or extracurricular activity fees) are published alongside the monthly tuition statement on the school's fee pages. After‑school care (fritids-equivalent) and extracurricular activities are offered, but published public fee details for those services are not shown with the monthly tuition statement. Parents should expect typical additional costs that schools commonly charge (meals, school trips, optional clubs, supplies), but the only explicit recurring tuition charge published for the international stream is the SEK 1,000 monthly fee. Refund information - The school's public FAQs indicate that registration for the waiting list is free; no separate public refund policy for the English-stream tuition charge or for other fees is published alongside the monthly fee statement. The bilingual programme is not charged, and therefore no tuition refund terms apply to it. Fee payment options - The school's published pages that state the monthly tuition amount do not list specific accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, direct debit, credit card). Admissions and general contact addresses are provided for enquiries; payment methods and invoicing details are handled by the school's admissions/finance office. Summary (straight facts you can use) - Application / waiting-list registration: no fee. - Bilingual PYP & MYP: no tuition fee. - International English PYP & MYP (where applicable): SEK 1,000 per month (same rate across year groups in those programmes). Annual equivalent depends on billing period (monthly × number of months billed). - Boarding: not offered (day school). - Other specific charges (uniforms, meals, trips, after‑school fees) and accepted payment methods are not published together with the monthly tuition statement; the admissions/finance office manages invoicing details. If you need these statements placed into your external database exactly as written, the entries above are factual declarations of the school's published fee information and the known billing notation for the English stream. If any further line‑item detail is required (for example precise term charges, a formal refund policy text, or the school's accepted payment methods), those items are administered by the school's admissions/finance team and are not listed with the school's public fee statement.
