Tuition fees by year group (summary and reported ranges)
- Current, school‑published 2026/27 fee schedule could not be retrieved from the provided site. The most recent public reporting and press coverage list annual tuition ranges rather than a school‑published per‑term table. Reported annual ranges for Şcoala Europeană Bucureşti are approximately:
- Early years / preparatory classes: from about EUR 7,875 per year.
- Primary and lower secondary: mid range within the overall band reported (several thousand euros more for older grades).

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Reported practice at the school includes an advance/deposit payment to secure a place, with the remaining tuition payable in multiple instalments. One public description indicates a common pattern: an initial deposit followed by the remainder split into equal instalments spread from September through April.

Payment‑deadline dates and the exact instalment calendar are set by the school each year.

Note on data availability
- The school's live fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year could not be accessed from the provided website due to access restrictions at the time of retrieval; the figures above are compiled from recent press coverage, school listings and historical reporting and therefore reflect reported ranges and commonly applied billing practices rather than a verbatim 2026/27 fee table published by the school. The principal public items used to compile the summary include press reports on tuition ranges, a school‑listing that describes the instalment pattern and the school's accreditation record.
