How fees are billed and per‑term amounts
- The school issues one invoice for the annual fees before the start of the school year; this invoice is broken down to include tuition plus any chosen options (languages, bus, uniforms, trips, SEN). Payment may be made either as a single full payment or in two equal instalments (due before the start of school in September and in January). When the two‑instalment option is used, each instalment equals 50% of the annual tuition.
- For families joining after September, the school uses a single‑payment approach with term percentages applied to the annual tuition for late arrival: First term (Sept–Dec) = 100% of annual tuition; Second term (Jan–Mar) = 60% of annual tuition; Third term (Apr–Jun) = 40% of annual tuition.

Development fee
- Development fee (one‑time): EUR 2,500 (standard); EUR 7,500 (employer‑covered). This fee is charged for campus development and school‑wide programmes. The development fee is non‑refundable.

Refunds for pupils leaving during the academic year are applied to the billed tuition (including bus service and SEN fees) as follows: departure by 31 December = 50% refund of billed tuition; departure by 31 March = 25% refund; departure after 1 April = no refund.
