Tuition — Elementary, Middle and Secondary (summary ranges where public detail is not published)
- Published, itemized tuition by grade for 2026/27 is not publicly itemized by grade group. Typical annual tuition ranges reported by local and expatriate sources for international schools in Tbilisi (including historical QSI figures cited by local reports) place annual tuition for older year groups above Preschool and commonly in the lower four‑figure to mid five‑figure USD range depending on grade and program; families should expect separate invoices by term.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Invoices are issued by term and billed as Term 1, Term 2 and Term 3. Example due dates appearing on an actual school invoice were: Term 1 due late August, Term 2 due mid‑December, Term 3 due end‑March; the invoice showed the school using a three‑term billing cycle with amounts allocated to each term. Parents are expected to pay the invoiced term amount by the due date on the invoice.
- Invoices advise that failure to pay by the due date may result in withholding of reports and school records.

Boarding / Accommodation Fees
- Boarding is not a provided program at this campus (day‑school operation). No boarding fee schedule is published for QSI Tbilisi.

Scholarships and fee reductions
- Scholarships are offered to eligible students; scholarship awards have historically ranged from modest percentages up to high‑value awards (documentation indicates scholarship awards can range broadly, including awards up to major tuition coverage for select candidates). Parents should review scholarship eligibility and application windows for the academic year.

Refunds and cancellations

Accepted payment methods and instruction items appearing on invoices
- Bank transfer: school invoices include beneficiary bank details for international (USD) and local (GEL) transfers and instruct GEL transfers to be based on the National Bank exchange rate on the transaction date. Example bank details and SWIFT/IBAN entries have appeared on actual school invoices.
