Fee Breakdown

Fees
Application fees

- There is no separate, one-off non-refundable application or registration fee charged in addition to the school's invoiced charges. Instead, for parents liable to pay the annual school fee (Category III pupils) a non‑refundable deposit of 25% of the annual school fee is required on enrolment/confirmation of a place.

Tuition (school fee / “minerval”) — amounts and year groups (2025/2026)

- The European Schools operate three pupil categories that determine liability for the school fee: Category I (exempt), Category II (contributions under financing agreements) and Category III (fee‑paying). The published standard per‑pupil annual contributions and school fees for the 2025/2026 school year are as follows.

- Category II (per‑pupil contribution for Brussels, 2025/2026): Current contract: EUR 13,452.87; New contract: EUR 13,245.20.

- Category III annual school fees for Brussels (pupils enrolled from 2013/2014 onwards, 2025/2026):
- Nursery (pre‑school cycle): EUR 4,370.39 per year.
- Primary: EUR 6,009.36 per year.
- Secondary: EUR 8,194.57 per year.

- (Note: older enrolments may be charged legacy Category‑III rates set before 2013/2014; those legacy amounts are lower and are shown in the European Schools published schedules where applicable.)

Per‑term / billing structure and instalments

- The school fee is an annual charge. Standard billing practice splits invoicing across the administrative year rather than presenting a single up‑front bill for every component; parents liable for the annual school fee are normally required to pay a non‑refundable deposit (25% of the annual fee) before the start of the school year, with the balance invoiced and due according to school deadlines during the autumn. All school invoices are expected to be settled within the invoice terms (commonly 30 days from invoice date). Interest may be charged on late payments and non‑payment can lead to removal from the school list.

- The school separately invoices routine small school expenses (diary, photocopies, insurance, badges/locker, certain educational visits, and the baccalaureate registration for final‑year pupils); these items are invoiced independently of the annual school fee. For 2025/2026 those small school expense items were listed and invoiced per pupil (examples shown below). The invoice for school expenses and, where applicable, the school fee, is sent at the start of the school year (October–November); payment is by bank transfer within the stipulated deadline. School expenses are fixed and non‑refundable.

Examples of published school expenses (2025/2026)

- School diary: EUR 4.00 (per pupil, cycle dependent).
- Photocopies and prints: EUR 30.00 (per pupil).
- Intermath contribution (where applicable): EUR 30.00 (Primary example).
- School fees for educational visits: EUR 90.00 (per pupil).
- Student card (where applicable — secondary cycle S5–S7 example): EUR 15.00.
- School insurance: EUR 6.50 (per pupil).
- Baccalaureate (7th year) registration fee: EUR 105.98 (per candidate).

Billing schedule and payment terms (practical detail)

- Invoice timing: the invoice for school expenses and, where applicable, the school fee for the current year is issued at the beginning of the school year (October–November). A deposit invoice for the following school year is typically issued in late spring. Small school fees (insurance, photocopies, locker, badge) may be invoiced separately (for example, early January). All invoices must be paid within the stipulated deadline (in practice invoices are usually due within 30 days of the invoice date). Interest on late payment may apply and failure to pay can result in the pupil's removal from the school lists.

- Deposit on enrolment (Category III): Parents of Category III pupils must pay a non‑refundable deposit equal to 25% of the annual school fee by the date set by the school (commonly before the start of the school year). The deposit is not reimbursed if the pupil does not attend. The balance is invoiced and must be paid within the school's stated deadlines.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not a provision of Brussels European School I; there are no boarding fees applicable. The school's student services list shows day‑school services (canteen, transport, after‑school activities) organised with partner organisations rather than any on‑site boarding provision.

Other costs and fees (examples and responsible bodies)

- Canteen, school transport, extracurricular activities, Friday childcare and lockers are organised by the parents' association (APEEE) or external partners and are charged separately by those bodies. Those service fees are separate from the EURSC school fee/minerval and from the school's small school expenses invoice. Parents should expect separate invoices or payment procedures for canteen and transport run by the APEEE.

- Uniforms: there is no standard mandatory uniform charge listed by the school; routine personal school equipment and book lists are published for each cycle and language section and are charged/obtained separately where required.

- Sibling reductions: published European Schools fee schedules apply reductions for families with multiple children (commonly a 20% reduction for the second child and 40% for subsequent children where the reductions are permitted under the applicable fee schedule).

Refunds and non‑refunds

- Small school expenses are fixed and non‑refundable. The Category III deposit (25% of the annual school fee) is explicitly non‑refundable. Refunds of other invoiced items (if any) depend on the specific fee type and the school's administrative rules, but the standard published positions are that the deposit and small school expenses are not reimbursed. Interest at the legal rate may be applied to overdue payments.

Fee payment options and invoicing practicalities

- Invoicing and payment method for school expenses and school‑fee invoices: the school's published procedure requires payment by bank transfer within the deadline indicated on the invoice. Parents are advised to use the bank transfer details shown on the invoice and to keep personal details current in the school enrolment database so postal invoices reach the correct address. Separate partner services (APEEE canteen/transport) will provide their own payment methods and instructions.

- Timing and instalments: standard practice includes a non‑refundable deposit (25%) followed by the invoiced balance; some local enrolment administrations publish options for instalment agreements, but instalment acceptance and the exact calendar are managed locally by the school's enrolment/finance office. All invoices are due within their stated terms (commonly 30 days).

Contacts for invoicing queries and practical notes

- For questions about invoices and school‑fee statements the school directs parents to the designated school enrolment/finance contacts and to the central EURSC school‑fees information and memoranda. The school issues invoices by post at the start of the school year and advises families to keep enrolment contact details up to date so invoices are delivered correctly.

European School Brussels I

European School Brussels I is a European School operating on two campuses, Berkendael and Uccle, in Belgium, educating children from ages 4 to 18 across nursery to secondary. The school follows the European Schools curriculum and offers a bespoke curriculum aligned with the network's framework. Central to life at both sites is the Citizens of the Ocean World project: sustainable development is integrated into teaching, and all language sections participate in ocean-focused activities, exhibitions, and events. As a European Blue School, the school joined the European Blue School network and took part in European Maritime Day in My Country 2022. The two campuses run the same program, including World Oceans Day activities, talks by ocean advocates, and exhibitions such as WWF's Trésors de la Mer du Nord and Greenpeace's Galerie de l'océan. Extracurriculars and arts are ocean-themed, with jellyfish mobiles and family involvement, funding provided by APEEE. World Oceans Day.
