Application fees

- ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) registration: USD 160, payable by credit card directly to the Educational Records Bureau (ERB).
- Historic/legacy application fee noted in ACS application materials for international applicants: EUR 350 (appears on ACS published application requirements document).

Tuition fees (annual amounts by student category)

- Bulgarian students (standard Bulgarian-student rate): EUR 10,040 per academic year (BGN 19,636.54).
- International students (International Student Program): EUR 21,700 per academic year (BGN 42,441.52).
- Bulgarian students transferring from international schools: charged at the International Student rate (EUR 21,700 per academic year).

Per-term detail

- The published figures are stated as annual tuition rates (see amounts above). A per-term (semester/term) breakdown is not published alongside those annual rates in the College's tuition materials; families should expect the headline amounts to represent the total tuition for the full academic year.

Boarding / dormitory fees

- Dormitory fee for Bulgarian citizens (2025/2026 academic year): EUR 6,100 per year.
- Dormitory fee for international students (2025/2026 academic year): EUR 6,900 per year.
- The dormitory fee covers three weekday meals in the school cafeteria, internet, laundry, room cleaning, and related residential services.

Other costs and fees (what is included / excluded)

- The annual tuition covers instruction, academic and extracurricular activities, study materials (including a personal Chromebook), and access to school laboratories, libraries, sports facilities, and college-counseling services.
- The following are not included in the listed tuition and are charged separately where applicable: meals for day students, transportation, school trips and excursions, certain school supplies, and IB exam fees.
- Elective clubs and extracurricular participation are stated as having no separate participation fee.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Annual tuition is published as the total yearly charge by student category. Specific public-facing materials do not publish a detailed per-term invoice schedule or payment-due dates alongside the headline annual amounts; billing and enrollment paperwork (distributed after admission) define exact payment deadlines and any installment arrangements.
- The College allows tuition to be invoiced and paid by a juridical person (legal entity) when parents request this arrangement; such arrangements require an additional trilateral agreement among parents, the College, and the paying company.

Refund information

- Publicly available admissions and tuition materials do not publish a detailed general tuition-refund or standardized withdrawal-refund schedule alongside the headline tuition figures; families complete enrollment paperwork and any applicable admission/enrollment agreements that set out specific refund or cancellation terms.

Fee payment options

- ISEE registration is paid by credit card to ERB (the test administrator).
- The College can invoice a legal entity for tuition (see above); invoicing implies accepted electronic or bank payment methods for third-party payers under the trilateral arrangement, with specific payment instructions provided on the invoice or enrollment agreement.

Practical notes for parents (concise)

- Headline annual tuition: Bulgarian students EUR 10,040; International students EUR 21,700.
- Boarding (dorm) is an additional annual charge: EUR 6,100 (Bulgarian citizens) or EUR 6,900 (international students) for the 2025/2026 figures published by the College.
- The ISEE test registration fee (required for admissions testing) is USD 160, charged by ERB and payable by credit card.

Brief note on scope and missing public details

- The College's public tuition materials state annual tuition and dormitory amounts and describe what the tuition covers and excludes, and they confirm the ISEE registration charge; those materials do not publish a public per-term fee breakdown, a standard public billing-calendar with installment due dates, or a standard public refund table alongside the headline rates. For precise invoice dates, installment options, payment methods (bank details, card acceptance for tuition), and formal refund terms, families receive and sign the College's enrollment documents and invoices after admission.
