Tuition fees by year group (annual and per semester) — academic year 2026/2027

All amounts below are annual; the school invoices tuition in two tranches (one invoice per semester), so the per‑semester amount is the annual fee divided by two.

- CP–CM2 (elementary): Annual fee 14,550 SEK — Per semester 7,275 SEK.
- 6ème–3ème (collège / lower secondary): Annual fee 16,020 SEK — Per semester 8,010 SEK.

- Full (non‑subsidised) tariff for pupils not eligible for municipal subsidies: Annual fee 157,590 SEK — Per semester 78,795 SEK. (This full tariff applies for pupils where the school does not receive local funding or where parents are non‑EU/EEA/Swiss nationals as specified by the school.)

- Sibling reductions: reductions are applied for large families starting at the third enrolled child (examples: 15% for the 3rd child, 20% for the 4th child, 25% for the 5th and subsequent children). These reductions are applied by order of age.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition is invoiced by semester (autumn and spring). Families receive an invoice for each semester.
- Payment deadline: invoices are payable within 20 days of the invoice date. All fees must be settled by the due date shown on the invoice.
- The school may use third‑party billing providers to issue invoices. Families whose fees are to be paid by a third party (employer) must provide a completed and signed third‑party financial contract; any fees not covered by the third party remain the legal responsibility of the family. Late payments incur late fees and interest, and unpaid invoices may be referred to the Swedish debt collection agency.

Prorating, notice and refund rules

- Prorating on arrival/departure: any month started is due. For late arrival or early departure, tuition is billed pro rata on the basis of whole months; the school uses a rule equal to 1/10 of the annual tuition per month started when calculating prorata adjustments. A three‑month written notice is required for withdrawal; failure to respect the notice period may trigger billing for the following semester or an additional charge equal to 1/10 of the annual tuition for each month of notice not respected.
- Refunds: the school does not make refunds of tuition for pupil absences during a semester or for reasons outside the school's control. Where an enrolment was invoiced at the full tariff and later municipal subsidies (skolpeng) become due to the school, any subsequent reimbursement to the family may be made on a pro rata basis in line with the school's stated rules.
- First registration fees are non‑refundable in case of cancellation or withdrawal after invoicing.

Boarding / internat

- The Lycée Français Saint Louis de Stockholm does not provide boarding (no internat).

Other costs and typical additional charges

- Förskola (preschool) and the Périscolaire / Fritids service are charged according to Stockholm city ‘‘maxtaxa'' rules (a sliding scale based on family income with a maximum cap). The preschool / fritids charge is separate from the tuition amounts listed above where applicable.
- Elementary‑level provision: the school indicates that, at elementary level, the annual tuition covers the school lunch, school supplies, outings and project costs (these items are included in the elementary annual fee as stated by the school). Under Swedish regulation, the school lunch is mandatory and provided free of charge at elementary level.
- Community shop / branded items: the Parent Association runs a community shop for school‑branded items (optional purchases) and charges apply for items ordered via that service. The APE also collects a voluntary annual parent association contribution (example amount shown on the APE page is 350 SEK per child for 2025–2026).
- Exam or certification fees, specific project fees, optional extracurricular activity fees, and travel costs for educational trips may be invoiced separately when applicable; the school's financial rules note that such additional costs can be charged in addition to tuition.

Refunds / cancellation summary

- First registration fees are non‑refundable once invoiced. Tuition is not refunded for absences during a semester or for reasons beyond the school's control. Prorata adjustments for arrival or departure use a month‑based rule (1/10 of the annual tuition per month started). If municipal subsidies are subsequently allocated to the pupil after invoicing at the full tariff, a pro rata reimbursement may be made. Failure to provide the required three months' written notice when leaving can result in additional charges.

Fee payment options and practical payment notes

- The school issues invoices (it may outsource invoicing). Families must pay invoices within 20 days; the invoice will indicate the accepted payment methods and instructions. Families whose fees are to be paid by a third party must provide a signed third‑party contract. Late payments are subject to fees and collection procedures.

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.

The team coordinates with parents, doctors, speech language pathologists, psychologists and other professionals outside the school to support students with additional needs. The policies emphasize inclusion, removing barriers to learning, and using differentiation and learner support to enable all students to participate fully.

Application fees

- There is no application fee for admission to the International School of the Stockholm Region (ISSR); families do not pay an application charge.

Tuition fees by year group (detailed per term / per year)

- For families eligible for municipal/public provision, tuition is not charged for all year groups (Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme). In other words: SEK 0 per term and SEK 0 per school year for children enrolled under the school's public funding arrangements.

- Exception: members of diplomatic missions who are not citizens of EU/EEA states or Switzerland are required to pay a tuition charge for students in Grade 10 through DP2 (the school charges tuition for those specific cases). The municipality handles the billing arrangements for these diplomatic cases.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Where fees apply (for example for after‑school care, extracurricular activities or diplomatic tuition), invoices are issued and must be paid by the due date stated on the invoice. Municipal parental/activity fees are commonly billed on a termly or monthly basis depending on the service; Stockholm's municipal practice for similar after‑school activities shows examples of a fixed term charge (for fritids/fritidsklubb) paid per term.

- For diplomatic tuition cases, billing is arranged through the municipality and may be invoiced directly to the family or to the diplomatic mission as agreed between the school/municipality and the embassy.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- The International School of the Stockholm Region is a municipally run day school; there is no boarding provision and therefore no boarding fees.

Other costs and recurring fees

- After‑school care (fritids / fritidsklubb): a parental fee can apply for participation in after‑school club programmes; Stockholm municipality examples show modest termly fees for similar services.

- Extracurricular activities and optional clubs: small participation fees may apply for certain optional activities, trips or specialised programmes.

- School lunches and routine classroom supplies: these are provided through the municipal school arrangements and are not charged as separate tuition fees for students covered by the public provision.

- Uniforms: there is no compulsory school uniform requirement listed for this municipal international school; no uniform fee is charged as a standard school requirement.

Refund information (if applicable)

- There is no tuition to refund for students covered by municipal funding (tuition = SEK 0). For fees that are paid (after‑school care, activity fees or diplomatic tuition), refunds or credits (for withdrawal or non‑attendance) follow municipal invoicing and refund rules and the payment terms on the invoice. Parents should follow the invoice terms and municipal guidance for refund procedures where a fee has been charged.

Fee payment options

- Municipal and school‑related fees in Stockholm are normally collected via invoice systems that accept bank transfers (bankgiro/plusgiro), e‑invoice and other common Swedish payment channels; many municipal and school-related payers in Sweden also use Swish or electronic invoice options where available. Payment specifics for any charged service (after‑school care, extracurricular activity or diplomatic tuition) are given on the invoice and follow municipal payment channels.

Summary (clear, factual points)

- Application fee: none.
- Tuition for most families / all year groups: none (SEK 0 per term, SEK 0 per year under municipal funding).
- Diplomatic exception: non‑EU/EEA/Swiss members of diplomatic missions pay tuition for Grade 10–DP2; the municipality handles billing.
- Boarding: not offered; no boarding fees.
- Other possible charges: after‑school care and some optional extracurricular/activity fees; school lunches and standard classroom supplies are provided without separate tuition charges.

Any refundable amounts and the conditions for refunds are communicated with the specific activity or invoice.

Fee payment options

- Because IES schools in Sweden do not charge tuition or application fees, standard tuition payment options are not required.
