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.

A Student Council involves pupils in shaping day-to-day life at the school. Regular communication between parents and teaching staff is encouraged through face-to-face meetings and email, with SchoolSoft, Google Classroom and PYP portfolios used to share topics. The school fosters self-discipline and mutual respect, and maintains an inclusive environment with a high tolerance for individual differences. The mission promotes student voice, choice and curiosity through inquiry and encourages respectful relationships among all members of the school.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The Student Support Team consists of a Special Education teacher and a Student Care teacher who provide interventions to ensure equity and access across the curriculum. They offer individualized, small group or whole class support for academic, behavioural and social-emotional issues, along with pastoral care. The Special Education teacher delivers pull-out or push-in sessions, runs Homework Hut for MYP, and leads workshops on inclusion while coordinating paperwork and individual accommodation plans. 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.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school offers two streams: a Bilingual IB Programme with 50% teaching in English and 50% in Swedish, and an English-language IB Programme with 100% English instruction. It follows the IB framework together with the Swedish national curriculum. The school runs 21 classes across programmes. Fourteen mother tongue groups provide weekly after-school language lessons to support pupils' home languages. The library collection includes around 8000 titles in Swedish and English and provides resources in various mother tongues to support multilingualism.

Mental Wellbeing

The school promotes a Balanced approach to well-being, recognizing emotional, physical and intellectual health as part of student well-being. The Student Support Team monitors students' wellbeing and educational progress and provides interventions for academic, behavioural and social-emotional issues, including pastoral care. The school runs Movement Group and Gross-motor Skills sessions through the Student Care Team. The Equal Treatment plan and inclusion policies establish safety, well-being and inclusive environments as core commitments, with processes to ensure safety and to support learners from diverse backgrounds.

Safeguarding

An Equal Treatment plan is in place to prevent discrimination and harassment and to promote safety and inclusion within the school. The school provides a rights-based framework where every learner has equal rights and opportunities, and where new learners and families are welcomed and supported. The Student Support Team monitors wellbeing and works with families, doctors, speech language pathologists, psychologists and other professionals to safeguard students. Inclusion policies require that barriers to learning be removed and that safeguarding and safety are integrated into school life.

- For any optional, voluntary or extracurricular items that carry a charge (see "Other costs" below), billing and payment terms are handled per activity; invoicing and deadlines for payment are set for each specific activity or service. The school network's schools are financed through the national school funding system rather than by tuition.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Internationella Engelska Skolan in Sweden operates as publicly funded day schools; there is no general boarding provision and no standard boarding fee. Where boarding or in‑dwelling accommodation exists at other Swedish schools, charges for cost and lodging are handled separately, but this does not apply as a standard fee for IES schools.

Other costs or fees (examples)

- School meals: lunch and school meals for compulsory-school pupils are provided as part of the schooling system and are not charged as tuition.
- Voluntary activities and extracurriculars: optional clubs, weekend camps, extended-care programs, certain sporting activities or third‑party vendor offerings may carry charges; these are expressed per activity and are voluntary.
- School trips and excursions: voluntary school trips that are not part of compulsory instruction may require a participation fee to cover transport, accommodation or entrance fees; such fees are activity‑specific and billed separately.
- Learning materials and personal supplies: standard textbooks and core learning tools are provided within the publicly funded system; personal stationery, specialised equipment for optional courses, and non‑standard materials are typically the responsibility of the guardian.
- Uniforms / dress code items: IES schools do not list a system‑wide tuition or uniform charge; any specific clothing items required for particular activities (e.g., PE kit, team kit) are handled at the school level and, if charged, are optional or activity‑specific. For any chargeable optional item, the fee must be reasonable and clearly stated in the activity information.

Refund information

- There are no tuition or application fees to refund for standard compulsory or upper‑secondary schooling because those fees are not charged.
- For paid optional activities, trips or extracurricular services, refund terms depend on the specific activity and the school's stated policy for that activity; refundability is determined per event (for example based on cancellation deadlines or non‑refundable vendor costs). 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.
- For voluntary charges (excursions, optional clubs, equipment purchases), schools typically provide practical payment arrangements (invoicing, bank transfer or Swedish common payment methods), but the exact payment methods and instructions are provided with each activity invoice or communication and may vary by school and by item.

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.

- 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).

- 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.

Documents required include evidence of citizenship, family booklet, diploma from the previous school, current-year grades (and the third term of the previous year), and guardian documents in case of divorce/legal separation.
