Introduction

SHAPE International School is a federated international school located at Avenue de Sofia 6, Building 717, SHAPE, Belgium. The school offers three curricula—American, British and German—so families can align study with their preferred framework. It operates as a single complex with an integrated kindergarten and ten elementary and three secondary national sections, all working side by side under an international General Services Unit. This arrangement supports a cohesive on-base community while preserving national curriculum identities. The school provides a broad program through its language centre and multilingual library, and a diverse range of cultural and language groups that enrich daily life. On-site leisure and performance facilities include Arts & Crafts, Performing Arts, a SHAPE Intl Band, and a Cinema-SHAPE Alliance Auditorium for events. A calendar of clubs—from sport and travel to service and leadership groups—invites students to explore interests, develop skills, and contribute to SHAPE's international community for student success.

Fees
Application fees

- The school requires submission of the international student application package (an International Student Application / Tuition Fees 2026–2027 document is published for applicants). The specific application fee amount is published in that tuition document and is not available in the public admissions summary.

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

- Tuition for international students is published in the International Student Application / Tuition Fees 2026–2027 document. The admissions materials list that a detailed tuition schedule for the 2026–2027 school year exists, organized by student category and school level; the numeric breakdowns by grade, term and annual totals are contained in that tuition schedule and were not extractable from the public admissions summary.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- A billing schedule and payment terms are provided in the international student tuition package for the 2026–2027 school year. The admissions information directs applicants to that package for exact due dates, terms (termly/semesterly/annual billing) and any penalties or late-payment conditions; those specific dates and payment-term wording are in the tuition document itself.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- SHAPE International School operates as an on‑base federated school complex (integrated kindergarten and national sections). No boarding provision is listed as part of SHAPE International School's educational program; therefore boarding fees do not apply to the school's standard international student offer.

Other costs and mandatory extras

- The international student package and related registrars' documents include references to items commonly billed in addition to tuition (for example: transportation, school bus registration where applicable, activity or materials fees, and section-specific charges). Specific amounts for school bus fees, uniforms, lunches, textbooks, extracurricular activity fees, examination fees or special-program charges are specified in the tuition and inscriptions documents rather than in the admissions summary. Note: the school bus program is included in DODEA (U.S.) sections' tuition where relevant; for other sections, bus fees and registration are handled separately.

Refund information

- Refund terms (conditions under which fees or deposits are refundable, and any time limits or administrative deductions) are set out in the International Student Application / Tuition Fees 2026–2027 document and in the school's registration/inscription paperwork. Exact refund amounts, deadlines and required procedures appear in those documents.

Fee payment options

- The tuition and admissions package identifies accepted payment methods and instructions (for example bank transfer details and the procedures for other payment mechanisms). The admissions summary points applicants to the full international student tuition package for the precise payment methods and account details.

Summary of findings and limitation

- The school's public admissions page and community pages confirm that a detailed International Student Application / Tuition Fees 2026–2027 document and an "Inscriptions 2026–2027" registration document exist and contain the full numeric fee schedules, billing dates, refund rules and payment instructions required to populate a fee database. Those documents were linked from the admissions and community pages but the detailed numeric fee schedule for 2026–2027 could not be extracted from the public summary pages alone during this review.

- An earlier (2019) version of the school fees document exists online and contains numeric examples of past fee levels; that historical document is not the current 2026–2027 schedule and therefore is not suitable for recording current fees.

If you need the exact numeric amounts, term splits, refund percentages and bank/payment details as they appear in the 2026–2027 tuition schedule, those are contained in the International Student Application / Tuition Fees 2026–2027 and the Inscriptions 2026–2027 registration documents linked on the school's admissions and community pages.
