Billing schedule and payment terms
- Monthly invoicing in advance; school fees are due no later than the first day of each month. Fees cover every month from August through July (12 months). DP2 students pay from August through June only. The full monthly fee is charged for any month in which the student is enrolled, regardless of start date.
- Direct Debit (PBS / Betalingsservice) registration is mandatory for enrolled families and must be completed within three months of the student's first day. Failure to register within this period may incur a DKK 500 monthly administration fee. For families unable to register for Direct Debit, quarterly, biannual or annual payment schedules may be arranged without the administration fee. Registration for Direct Debit uses NemID/MitID credentials and payer CPR/account details.
- Late payment process: up to three payment reminders are issued for overdue invoices; continued non‑payment for three months may result in loss of the student's place. Unpaid amounts are carried forward to the next invoice.

Withdrawal, deposit and refund rules
- Withdrawal notice: parents must provide three months' notice via the official withdrawal form. Final fee calculations depend on the submission date and special conditions apply during the re‑enrolment period (February–August). The school deposit is refundable provided proper notice is given and all outstanding fees are settled. The deposit may be used to cover the required notice period and will be applied to cover July fees for families not returning the following academic year.
- Programme‑specific non‑refunds: the monthly IB fee for Diploma Programme students is non‑refundable in case of early withdrawal. When external trips or core week activities are booked and paid for in advance, refunds are not possible once bookings are made; some trip refund exceptions apply for withdrawals before published cut‑off dates. Parents remain responsible for costs if withdrawal occurs after the school has committed financially for the activity.

Boarding / residential provision
- The school operates as a day school (no boarding provision). No boarding fees apply.
