Payment terms, methods and bank details

- All payments are to be made in euros (EUR). Bank transfers should be made to the campus-specific bank account; IBANs and BIC/SWIFT details are provided for each campus. Transfers from banks outside the EU: any bank charges are to be borne by the payer. Direct debit from an EU bank is required for the two-term and monthly payment options.
- Overdue balances: a 1% interest per month is charged on overdue amounts; no child will be admitted to class until all fees due have been paid.

Proration, refunds and withdrawals

- Pro-rata for students who enrol late: the annual tuition fee is prorated according to specific enrolment date thresholds (for example, enrolment as of 15 October results in 95% payable; as of 15 November 85%; as of 15 December 75%; continuing down to later dates with lower payable percentages). Exact pro-rata percentages are applied based on the enrolment date.
- Refunds for students who leave early: refunds are calculated according to defined date ranges within the academic year (refund percentages decrease as the school year progresses). Exact refund percentages depend on the withdrawal date within the school calendar.
- Withdrawal notice: the Admissions Office must be notified in writing at least six weeks prior to the withdrawal date.

Sibling discounts and fee reductions

- Sibling discount on Tuition and Entrance Fee only: 10% reduction for the third sibling currently enrolled; 15% reduction for the fourth sibling currently enrolled. The discount applies only when all siblings are enrolled in the same school year.
- A Fee Reduction Programme (means-tested) is available for eligible families; reduced tuition and entrance fee amounts and monthly instalment options may be available under that programme.

Other costs (additional charges during the year)

- Transportation service: charged separately based on distance; bus contracts are annual and a separate schedule applies.
- Lunch and snack services: hot meals and snack options are available and are invoiced (hot lunch usually invoiced by the meal service provider).
- After-school activities and athletics: a minimal Sports and Activities Fee is charged per activity and per term; individual activity fees are announced at registration. Sport uniforms and some activity-related items are invoiced by service providers.

Fees for IB self-taught languages and some home-language courses are usually invoiced and paid directly to the external service provider.

Boarding

Late payments and contract conditions

- Late payment interest: 1% per month on overdue balances. Students will not be admitted to class until fees due under the agreed terms are paid in full. Administrative fees apply for changing payment options after invoice issuance.
