Inclusion means recognizing all students as individuals with their own values. To guarantee full inclusion of learners with disabilities, with specific learning disorders (DSA), or BES, teachers identify educational needs; provide Personalized Didactic Plans; use inclusive approaches such as peer tutoring and laboratory teaching; monitor progress and assess the effectiveness of interventions; apply assessment aligned with individualized pathways; participate in inclusion training; design targeted interventions for complex cases.

Overview (2026/27 admissions cycle)

Application fee
- No separate non-refundable application fee is indicated. Enrollment requires submission of a completed enrollment form and payment of required family contributions (full amount or first installment) at the time of registration.

Tuition / annual fees by school level
- Scuola dell'Infanzia (preschool): Operates as a private section and requires payment of tuition/contributions by families. Specific annual or per-term amounts for the Infanzia are set by the institution and collected at enrolment.
- Scuola Primaria (primary), Secondaria di I grado (lower secondary) and Liceo Scientifico / Secondaria di II grado (upper secondary): These cycles operate as state education; there is no standard annual tuition in the manner of private international schools. Families are, however, required to pay contributions for school activities and services (listed as contributions due at enrolment). No public per-term or per-year flat tuition figures for these state cycles are published as fixed “tuition” amounts.

Per-term / per-year breakdown
- The school does not publish a single universal per-term or per-year tuition table for every year group in the public enrollment documents; fees are handled as family contributions and as separately priced services (for example textbooks, transport, canteen). Families are required to attach the bank receipt for the full payment or for the first instalment when submitting the enrollment form. Installment arrangements (rateizzazione) are available via the school's enrolment documentation.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Payment is collected at enrolment; the enrollment form requires either the full payment or the receipt for the first instalment to be attached. An instalment plan (rateizzazione) option is provided through the school's enrolment documentation. Administrative pages reference use of IBAN and electronic payment procedures for school administrative payments. Typical practice documented in the enrollment form is to present proof of bank payment on submission.

Boarding / residential fees
- There is no boarding provision for students; the institute is organised as an on-site day school (preschool, primary and secondary cycles) and does not operate a convitto/boarding house. Boarding fees are therefore not applicable.

Other costs and fees
- Textbooks and school materials: Textbooks adopted for each class are listed with purchase indications and prices for the school year (example: the 2025/26 textbook list includes item-level prices). Families are responsible for purchasing adopted texts where indicated as “acquistare” on the book lists.
- School activities and projects: Contributions from families are requested to cover extra-curricular projects, visits, and activities; these are collected as contributions and may be charged separately per activity.
- Transport: A school transport service is offered and families may apply for it as part of the enrolment process; transport is billed separately as a service.
- Canteen / meals and insurance: Typical school costs such as canteen fees and student insurance are managed as separate charges where the service is offered; specific amounts are issued per service when relevant. (The school's financial documents show insurance and activity costs as line items in institutional accounts.)
- Uniforms: No compulsory school uniform fee is specified in the published enrollment materials or the school description.

Refund information
- The school's financial records show reimbursements of contributions to families in cases where contributions were not due (example: recorded refunds to families who withdrew). This indicates that refunds of family contributions are processed when appropriate. Specific refund policy conditions (deadlines, pro rata calculations) are framed case by case in administrative procedures.

Fee payment options
- Bank transfer: The enrollment form requires attachment of the bank receipt for either full payment or first instalment; the administration publishes IBAN/electronic payment channels for administrative payments.
- Instalments: An instalment (rateizzazione) facility is provided via a specific instalment form included in the enrolment documentation.
- Credit-card acceptance: No public reference to credit-card payment acceptance for school fees appears in the enrolment documents or administrative pages; bank transfer and electronic/IBAN payments are the documented administrative methods.

Summary (key points for a parent)
- Preschool (Infanzia) is private and requires tuition/contributions from families. Primary and secondary cycles operate as state education and do not levy a private-school style tuition, but family contributions for activities and services are required at enrollment. Installment payment is available and bank payment receipts are required when enrolling. Transport, textbooks and canteen (when offered) are charged separately. Refunds of contributions have been recorded in school financial accounts where applicable.
