Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fees
- There is no application fee for applying to Turku International School (grades 1–9). Applications are submitted using the school's separate online application process.

Tuition fees (by year group and term)
- Grades 1–9 (all year groups): No tuition charge. Tuition per term: EUR 0. Tuition per academic year: EUR 0. Basic education at Turku International School is provided as municipal (city) basic education and carries no tuition fee for pupils.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Morning and afternoon activity charges (when a pupil participates) are billed monthly. If a child starts or leaves mid-month, the full monthly fee is charged. The August charge is half the normal monthly fee. For other paid services provided by the City of Turku, invoices are issued according to municipal invoicing procedures and standard municipal invoice payment terms apply (city's payment term: 30 days net unless otherwise agreed).

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. Turku International School is a municipal day school providing basic education for pupils in grades 1–9; there is no boarding provision and therefore no boarding fees.

Other costs and optional fees
- Morning activities (07:30–10:00): EUR 50 / month. August charged at 50% of this rate.
- Afternoon activities (until 15:00): EUR 110 / month. August charged at 50% of this rate.
- Afternoon activities (until 17:00): EUR 130 / month. August charged at 50% of this rate.
- School meals: Pupils receive a free warm meal every school day; there is no charge for the daily school lunch provided as part of basic education. Optional snacks or cafeteria items sold separately may incur a personal cost.
- Extracurricular clubs, hobby activities, study trips, or optional courses organised outside the mandatory school day may carry separate charges; those optional activity fees vary by activity and are invoiced separately when applicable. Morning/afternoon activity charges and hobby arrangements are managed under the City of Turku's basic-education services.
- Uniforms: No school uniform requirement is specified in the school rules or public student information for Turku International School. If a voluntary uniform or branded clothing option exists for a particular event or parent association activity, any purchase is optional and charged to the family.

Refund and absence rules (where applicable)
- Morning/afternoon activities: If a child is absent from morning/afternoon activities due to illness for more than 10 days during a calendar month, half of the monthly fee is charged for that month. If the absence due to illness lasts the entire calendar month, no fee is charged for that month. If a child is absent for an entire calendar month for reasons other than illness, half of the monthly fee is charged. Refunds or fee reductions require submission of the appropriate change form or discretionary discount/exemption application as set out by the city. Monthly billing is not pro‑rata if attendance begins or ends mid-month (full month charged). The August monthly fee is charged at half the normal rate.
- Other paid services: Refunds or cancellations for optional paid services, trips or club activities follow the terms and conditions of the organiser or the City of Turku service organising the activity; invoiced municipal services follow the city's invoicing and credit/refund procedures. Standard municipal invoicing guidance and contacts apply.

Fee payment options
- Recommended and available municipal payment methods include e-invoice (e-lasku) via online banking, electronic invoice delivery services (OmaPosti or Kivra), paper invoices by post, and paying in person at the city's payment desk (Monitori at Kauppatori) if needed. For suppliers and other invoicing, the City of Turku uses electronic invoicing standards and provides invoicing details for payments and technical invoice delivery. Municipal invoices are typically subject to the city's standard payment terms (30 days net unless otherwise agreed). Specific payment instructions and invoice references are included on each City of Turku invoice.

If a fee is charged specifically by an external provider (for example, a private hobby organiser, an external trip operator, or purchases of voluntary school clothing), payment methods and refund terms follow that provider's stated terms.
