Billing Schedule & Payment Terms (contractual highlights)

- The Advance Tuition deposit and application/development fees are non‑refundable except where expressly stated (Advance Tuition deposit is refundable only in the event of documented force majeure). After confirmation/enrollment, the full annual tuition is non‑refundable; the school may consider exceptional partial settlements only in demonstrated force majeure or compelling, documented circumstances. For a change from boarding to day student, the annual boarding fee remains due and no refund is considered for that year.
- Specific trip payments, deposits and staged payment dates are set per activity (examples: several residential trip deposits of EUR 250 due by specified dates; ski trip staggered payments). Additional charges such as visa processing fees and damage deposits are due as stated in the boarding schedule.

Refunds & Deposits

- Application and enrollment/development fees are non‑refundable. The Advance Tuition deposit is only refundable in the event of documented force majeure; otherwise it is non‑refundable. If a student withdraws after confirming enrollment or during the school year, the full annual tuition is non‑refundable except in exceptional, documented circumstances. Unused funds from the boarding Expense Account are refunded to the family when the student stops boarding. Damage deposits are held as specified and refunded subject to terms.

Fee Payment Options & Invoicing

- Contracts and invoices set out deposit requirements and the payment schedule; parents are required to pay the tuition deposit and enrollment fee within the contractual window after an offer.
