Application and Deposit Fees
- Application fee (per family): DKK 1,500 (non-refundable).
- Deposit due when accepting a place: DKK 8,000 for the first child; DKK 4,000 for the second and subsequent children (unless a deposit was not paid for the first child). The deposit is refundable only if the school's three-month notice of withdrawal requirements are observed. Specific timing rules apply for mid-year intakes (for example, a full reimbursement of the deposit is only made if the three-month notice is observed; see the school's withdrawal timing conditions).
Tuition Fees (monthly and annual equivalents)
- Preschool (where applicable): DKK 3,825 per month (noted for March–June intake months). Annual billing varies with intake timing and is not billed on an 11-month schedule like P1–S11.
- Primary 1 to Secondary 11 (P1–S11):
- First child: DKK 3,980 per month × 11 months = DKK 43,780 per academic year.
- Second child: DKK 3,780 per month × 11 months = DKK 41,580 per academic year.
- Third and subsequent children: no tuition fee (free).
After-School Care Programme (ASCP) and The Club
- ASCP (P1–P4): included in tuition for the first and second child in P1–P4.
- ASCP for the third and subsequent children in P1–P4: DKK 1,680 per month × 11 months = DKK 18,480 per academic year.
- The Club (P5): DKK 1,300 per month × 10 months = DKK 13,000 per year (first payment of the school year is in August).
Other Regular or Optional Fees and Inclusions
- Books: included in school fees for all students; charges apply for missing or damaged books.
- Music lessons (from Odense Musikskole): included for P1–P4; for P5 and up: DKK 599 per month (sibling discount may apply).
- School trips, theatre visits, and external activity costs: not included in school fees; prices vary and are charged separately. Examples include one-week trips abroad and other curriculum-related visits.
- Other supplier-paid items (examples): school photographs, school milk, OIS-branded casual/sports wear, passport-size photographs for ASCP, and laptops/tablets required in S7–S11. These are paid to external suppliers and are not included in tuition. Price examples are provided for some items (e.g., historic photo package cost and milk price examples).
- Manual administration fee for payments not made via the automatic payment system (PBS): DKK 400 per transaction, per student.
Billing Schedule and Payment Terms
- Payment cycle: 11-month academic payment cycle (no tuition due in July). Tuition is charged for the entire month regardless of the student's start date within that month. The first payment of the school year is taken in August. March intake fees may be requested in February for the March start.
- Automatic payments: fees are payable via PBS, an automatic online payment service set up through the family's online banking. PBS withdrawals are drawn on the 5th of each month. Each payment per student not made via PBS is charged the DKK 400 manual administrative fee. Brand-new students receive payment information close to their first day.
Refunds, Withdrawals and Transfer Documents
- Withdrawal notice: a three-month withdrawal notice is required. Upon withdrawal, all outstanding school fees and tuition must be fully settled before school transfer documents and final Progress Reports are issued. A full reimbursement of the deposit is made only if the three-month notice requirement is observed; specific calendar examples are applied for mid-year intakes. Application fees are non-refundable.
Boarding
- Boarding: there is no boarding provision listed for the school; boarding fees are not applicable.
Accepted Payment Methods
- Primary payment method: PBS automatic debiting set up via family online banking. Manual (non-PBS) payments are accepted but incur a DKK 400 administration fee per transaction, per student. No other payment methods (e.g., direct credit card processing) are specified.
Notes on Calculations Provided Here
- Monthly figures are provided in DKK as billed. Annual equivalents shown are calculated from the published monthly rates multiplied by the school's 11-month billing cycle unless another month count is explicitly stated (for example, The Club is published as a 10-month charge). Calculated annual totals are: P1–S11 first child = DKK 43,780; second child = DKK 41,580; ASCP third child/ subsequent = DKK 18,480; The Club (P5) = DKK 13,000.
