- Application fee: HUF 50,000. The Application Fee is payable by bank transfer to the school's account and is not refundable if the child is not enrolled.

Tuition fees by school division (published amounts)

- Early Years (Nursery): HUF 228,000 per month.
- Primary School: HUF 288,000 per month.
- Lower Secondary: HUF 298,000 per month.

Example annual / per-term calculations (based on the published monthly amounts)

- The school publishes tuition as a monthly figure; per-term and per-year totals are not published on the fee page. For quick reference only, simple multiplications of the published monthly rates give the following illustrative totals for a 10-month academic period (September–June):
- Early Years: HUF 2,280,000 per academic year (HUF 228,000 × 10).
- Primary School: HUF 2,880,000 per academic year (HUF 288,000 × 10).
- Lower Secondary: HUF 2,980,000 per academic year (HUF 298,000 × 10).

If a parent prefers semester (two-term) breakdowns, a simple division of the illustrative annual totals by two yields per-semester figures. These calculated annual/term figures are examples derived from the published monthly rates and do not replace the school's official billing schedule.

Billing schedule and payment terms

Payments for the Application Fee are specified as a bank transfer.
