Billing schedule and payment terms (day‑care / after‑school services and related billed items)

Parents receive an invoice and amounts due must be paid on receipt. Exemptions from billing include registrations cancelled in writing at least one month in advance and duly notified illness absences under the stated conditions.
- Any attendance beyond the reserved time slots and any cancellations or modifications that do not respect notification deadlines are billed. Repeated late pickups after 19:00 are charged as detailed below.
Bank details and payment method for invoiced services
- Invoiced amounts for SEA and related services are payable by bank transfer to the account number shown on the invoice. The SEA bank accounts used for payments are: Differdange IBAN LU81 0030 3435 0663 0000 (BGL BNP PARIBAS, BIC BGLLULL) and Esch/Alzette IBAN LU93 0030 3435 0668 1000 (BGL BNP PARIBAS, BIC BGLLULL). In the event of non‑payment, the school issues reminders and may proceed with garnishment.
Boarding fees
- No boarding provision is offered; the school operates as a day school and provides optional before‑school and after‑school care (SEA) billed as described above.
Other costs and fees (textbooks, meals, activities, uniform, supplies)
- Textbooks for secondary classes are supplied via the national online textbook ordering platform mybooks.lu; families order and pay for textbooks through that service. School supplies are specified by teachers at the start of the year and are the responsibility of families.
- Lunches, extracurricular activities, school trips, excursions and holiday camp programmes may incur additional charges; such activities are billed separately or as supplements and require separate registration where applicable.
- For specific extracurricular activities (excursions, summer camps, etc.) a detailed programme and separate registration form are issued, and parents are asked to pay the indicated supplement when required.
Refunds, invoice corrections and dispute handling
- Invoice corrections (re‑billing) may be requested if an error occurred (for example, CSA contract not renewed in time) and can be submitted to the SEA administration; re‑billing requests may be processed retroactively but are subject to administrative conditions and time limits. The re‑billing process can take several months; a re‑billing request is limited to a retroactive period of 12 months and may concern a maximum of three months.
- Absences due to illness that are notified according to the SEA rules will not be billed for reserved attendance hours and meals; unnotified absences or those not meeting the notification conditions may be billed. Cancellations in writing respecting the stated notice period are exempt from billing.
Specific penalties and incidental charges
- Repeated late arrivals after 19:00 are charged at EUR 15 per quarter‑hour of delay. Any attendance exceeding the registered time slot is billed.
Fee payment options summary
- Bank transfer to the IBAN shown on the invoice is the prescribed payment method for SEA and school‑issued invoices; invoices are generated and the account details to be used appear on the invoice.
- Textbook orders and payments are handled through the national textbook platform mybooks.lu.
Practical notes for planning
