Application (first‑time) fee

- A one‑time registration (first‑time enrolment) fee is required at the moment of first registration. EUR 8,000 is charged as the one‑time registration fee. This registration fee is not refundable in case of withdrawal.

Annual tuition by year group (annual total and three‑term breakdown)

- Kindergarten (K1–K3): Annual tuition EUR 7,220. Per‑term breakdown (billed in three terms at 40% / 30% / 30%): Term 1 EUR 2,888; Term 2 EUR 2,166; Term 3 EUR 2,166.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition, half‑board and internat charges are accounted over 10 months (September–June) and are invoiced in three terms with the following distribution: 40% for September–December, 30% for January–March, and 30% for April–June. All started terms are due in full; in case of entry or justified force majeure departure mid‑year, billing is calculated by month rather than by the started term. Invoices are payable within 15 days of issue.

- Tuition invoices may be issued as either three invoices (standard term schedule) or split into eight instalments; payment deadlines remain as stated on each invoice. The school offers automatic bank direct debit on request via the EDUKA platform.

Boarding (internat)

- Boarding is available through a partner boarding house (Theresianische Akademie) for pupils from the Seconde (upper secondary) onward by convention. Internat registration is for the full school year; early departure from the internat does not stop the obligation to pay the internat fees due for the rest of the school year. Internat charges are invoiced according to the billing rules above.

Other costs and fees

- Half‑board (school meals): Half‑board is charged separately and is compulsory up to and including 3ème and for boarders unless a special exemption is granted. Refunds or account adjustments for half‑board are possible for illness absences exceeding 15 consecutive days on presentation of a medical certificate; shorter absences do not give an entitlement to pro rata refunds.

- Book rental and course materials: An annual flat fee for provision (rental) of textbooks is collected once with the first‑term invoice; that fee is not refundable. Families are responsible for replacement costs for lost or damaged books.

- Examination and administrative fees: Examination registration fees (for national examinations and official tests), specific exam or registration charges, and fees for certain administrative services are charged in addition to tuition where applicable.

- School trips, extracurricular activities, specific supplies and optional services: Costs for outings, residential school trips, optional extracurricular activities, specific subject materials, and other optional paid services are invoiced separately when applicable.

- Uniforms: The school requires a suitable dress code but does not list a compulsory school uniform or a uniform purchase charge in the rules; any specific clothing or sports kit requirements are managed through school communications and activities.

Refunds and cancellations

- The first‑time registration fee is non‑refundable. The flat annual book rental fee is not refundable. All started billing terms are due; if a pupil leaves mid‑year for a reason other than justified force majeure, the usual billing rules apply and the family remains liable for fees due according to the invoicing policy. For half‑board, refunds or deductions are possible for absences of more than 15 consecutive days with medical justification; no refund is granted for the last 15 days of the school year. For the internat, the year‑long registration means early departure does not stop the invoicing of the internat fees for the year.

Fee payment options

- Payment by bank transfer / SEPA and automatic bank direct debit is supported (direct debit must be requested via the EDUKA parent platform). The school uses the EDUKA billing/finance system which supports multiple electronic payment options (including online card payment gateways and SEPA transfers) as configured by the school. Payment by the methods offered on EDUKA and the bank transfer/direct debit options are accepted; families should follow the payment instructions shown on each invoice.

Practical notes for parents

- The one‑time registration charge is due to secure admission and is payable at first enrolment; it is not refundable. Tuition invoices are due within 15 days of issue; non‑payment after reminders may lead to exclusion from classes. Changes between half‑board and external status must be requested in writing at least 15 days before the end of the preceding term. Book rental, half‑board and internat rules and refund conditions follow the school's standard billing rules described above.
