Application fees
- There is no application fee for admission to Uppsala International School (Kvarngärdesskolan).
Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- Uppsala International School is a municipal (non-fee-paying) school. There are no tuition charges for any year group (preschool class through compulsory school grades). No termly or annual tuition is invoiced to parents.
After‑school care (fritids) and other recurring parent charges
- Education in the school itself is free, but attendance in municipal after‑school care (fritidshem) is subject to a parental fee. The parental fee for fritids is income‑based with a maximum cap and sibling reductions; the municipality applies the stated maximum monthly fees and sibling discounts. Parents pay the fee 12 months per year, even when the child is sick or on leave. You must notify the municipality of income or family‑situation changes so the correct fee is charged. Uppsala's fritids fee model and maximum monthly limits (and sibling reductions) are applied by the municipality.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Fees that are payable (for example fritids fees or voluntary charges) are invoiced by Uppsala municipality and are billed throughout the year; the municipal routine is to charge parental fees 12 months per year. Cancellation of a fritids place requires one month's notice; fees are charged during the notice period. Invoices to parents use the municipality's billing system; typical payment channels supported by Uppsala municipality include bankgiro payments, e‑invoice (e‑faktura), autogiro and delivery to digital post services such as Kivra; international payments can be made using the municipality's IBAN/SWIFT details when required. Late payment triggers the municipality's normal reminder and collection procedures.
Boarding fees
- Uppsala International School (Kvarngärdesskolan) is a day school and does not offer boarding; therefore there are no boarding fees.
Other costs and typical one‑off or voluntary charges
- Parents can expect occasional, voluntary or activity‑specific costs that are not tuition. These commonly include voluntary contributions for certain school trips or extracurricular activities, optional outings, personal materials for specific courses or extracurricular programmes, and other voluntary charges when a cost is outside the scope of the free education. Any such voluntary charges or costs must follow the rules that apply to municipal schooling. School meals in compulsory schooling are normally handled within municipal arrangements; separate voluntary or extra costs may apply for optional or non‑mandatory activities.
Uniforms and clothing
- The school does not operate a paid uniform scheme; any clothing or equipment costs (sports kit, outdoor clothing, personal stationery) are normally the responsibility of the parent and are one‑off or occasional purchases rather than recurring school fees. (Any mandatory purchases for a specific activity would be communicated by the school.)
Refund information
- For municipal parental fees such as fritids, the municipality invoices 12 months per year and fees continue to be charged during sickness or leave; cancellation of a place requires one month's notice and fees are charged during the notice period. Refunds for pre‑paid parental fees are governed by municipal billing rules and depend on the timing of cancellation and the municipality's invoicing; late‑payment, reminder and debt‑collection rules also apply under municipal procedures. Voluntary contributions for optional activities follow the school's or municipality's specific rules for that activity and any refund policy applicable to the activity.
Fee payment options
- The municipality accepts standard payment methods for invoices: bankgiro payments with OCR, e‑invoice (e‑faktura) via banks, autogiro, delivery to digital post (e.g., Kivra) and international payments via the municipality's IBAN/SWIFT details. Parents are expected to follow the payment instructions on the invoice and may contact municipal economic support for questions about payment arrangements or requests for an amortisation plan or anstånd in special circumstances.
If a specific one‑off charge is proposed (for example for an optional school trip or paid extracurricular), the school or municipality will communicate the amount, payment method and any refund terms directly to the families involved.
