Concurrent-enrolment sibling discounts (example: 5% for the second child and larger discounts for subsequent siblings, with the fourth child free in some published schedules) are applied to the younger student. Exact discount rules and deadlines are published for each cycle and apply at the point of billing.

- Bridge & Bilingual: when a student terminates during the school year a pro rata calculation applies; the EUR 200 deposit is non-refundable.
- IBDP / High School: registration for the IBDP is finalized once the first installment is paid; if a student leaves during the academic year parents remain responsible for the annual tuition obligation, although exceptional circumstances (serious illness or change of residence) may be considered for a partial refund at the administration's discretion.

Other costs and routine extras
- Books, calculators, workbooks and other required learning materials are not included in published tuition figures and are additional parental expenses.
- IB-specific exam and administrative charges: published examples include official IB examination fees (example: EUR 580 for IB exam fees in 2025) and IB diploma legalisation (approximately EUR 130 in 2026); re-sit fees and remark requests are charged separately where applicable. These are charged in addition to tuition.
- Optional program / activity costs: some extracurricular programmes and sports activities have separate participation costs (example: certain sports program costs and bus opt-ins include program-specific fees and may include provision of uniforms for the activity). Uniforms for sports activities are sometimes provided as part of the activity fee; full school uniform purchase costs (where applicable) and other supplies are additional.
Refund information
- Deposits: the published registration deposits noted above are non-refundable and are applied to the final installment where indicated (e.g., Bridge deposit EUR 200 is offset against the third installment; dorm and IB deposits are non-refundable guarantees).
- Termination/refund policy: for Bridge & Bilingual a pro rata calculation is applied when a student terminates during the school year (deposit non-refundable). For High School/IB, parents remain liable for the annual tuition obligation on termination, but the administration may consider refunds in exceptional circumstances (for example, serious illness or change of residence) on a case-by-case basis.
Fee payment options
- Bank transfer (IBAN): tuition and other charges may be paid by deposit/transfer to the school's published bank accounts. Parents must include the student's full name and any required reference codes on transfers; payment confirmation receipts should be retained. Examples of beneficiary naming and IBANs are published for each programme's finance office.
