Tuition fees by year group

- Nelson Mandela School is a government-funded state bilingual school and does not charge annual tuition for enrolled students.

- International Baccalaureate (IB) students: families are responsible for IB examination and related IB‑programme costs. The school indicates an IB exam fee of EUR 1,500 per Diploma‑programme student. This fee is charged in addition to the regular, tuition‑free schooling.

- Centralised course materials / book contributions: the school operates a centralised book/materials fund and requests a flat contribution for school books and other learning resources; historically a flat contribution of EUR 90 per pupil (with an additional voluntary IT & library contribution of EUR 50) has been used as the centralised book/IT contribution model. These contributions are separate from tuition.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- IB examination and IB‑programme related charges are billed to families; specific invoicing dates are handled through the IB/IB office at the school. Families are expected to pay IB exam charges directly when invoiced.

- Centralised book/materials contributions and voluntary IT/library contributions are requested per school year; the school's parent bodies coordinate collection and allocation of these funds. Parents who do not qualify for certain assistance programmes may apply for support measures organised by the school community.

- Friends of Nelson Mandela (parent support association) offers membership with annual or monthly payment schedules (examples shown: annual options EUR 120, EUR 160, EUR 220; monthly options EUR 11, EUR 15, EUR 20). Membership and donation schedules follow the Friends' financial year and payment choices selected by the family.

Boarding fees

- Nelson Mandela School is a day school with separate primary and secondary campuses; boarding is not provided and there are no boarding fees.

Other costs and fees (examples parents should expect)

- IB exam fee for Diploma students: EUR 1,500 per IB Diploma candidate.

- Centralised Book Fund / learning resources contribution: a flat contribution (historically EUR 90 per pupil) plus voluntary IT/library contributions have been requested to cover textbooks, digital resources, photocopies and other teaching materials. These contributions are separate from tuition.

- Parent association (Friends of NMS) membership: voluntary annual or monthly contributions support school projects; example rates and payment options are published by the Friends of NMS.

- School cafeteria/lunch: primary‑school lunch is provided free of charge (parents register pupils for meals through the external catering service used by the school). Secondary lunch provision and any associated costs are handled through the school's cafeteria arrangements.

- School shop / merchandise: optional school merchandise (T‑shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, tote bags) is sold by the school shop at modest prices (examples shown: children's T‑shirt EUR 12, adult T‑shirt EUR 15; hoody EUR 35–40; sweatshirt EUR 30–35). These items are optional and are separate purchases.

- School trips and extracurricular activities (for example ski trips, exchange programme costs, field trips) typically require additional payments; individual trip charges and payment arrangements are notified to families when trips are organised.

Refund information

- There is no tuition charged, so standard tuition‑refund policies do not apply. For voluntary charges and memberships: Friends of NMS membership terms note that membership continues into the next financial year unless canceled; cancellation is possible at any time under the Friends' rules. Refund or cancellation terms for specific third‑party services (IB examination fees, external catering, external trip providers) are subject to the policies of those providers and the IB/organisers.

Fee payment options

- Friends of NMS (parent association) accepts payments by one‑off bank transfer (IBAN) or direct debit/Stripe (which supports card/debit processing) depending on the sign‑up method chosen; the Friends' membership form lists the beneficiary bank IBAN and Stripe direct‑debit authorization.

- Meal registration and any paid catering services use the external catering provider's ordering system; families register and pay through that service for catered meal options where applicable.

- IB and other third‑party fees are paid as instructed by the school or the external provider when invoiced; available payment methods for those charges are handled through each billing party.
