Tuition fees (annual and per-term) — 2026/27 where stated; otherwise most recent published year

- Non-IB (4-year bilingual secondary program — all classes): HUF 2,300,000 per year. Per term (inferred as two equal instalments): HUF 1,150,000 per term. (Annual figure indexed annually by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office.)

- IB Diploma Programme (IB DP):
- Year 11 (first year of IB DP): HUF 2,500,000 per year. Per term (inferred as two equal instalments): HUF 1,250,000 per term.
- Year 12 (second/final year of IB DP): HUF 1,900,000 per year. Per term (inferred as two equal instalments): HUF 950,000 per term.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Fees are payable in two equal instalments before the beginning of each semester (i.e., one instalment due before each semester). Instalment billing is the published schedule for the school support payment. Installments are non-refundable. Per-term figures above are calculated by dividing the published annual fee by two.

Sibling allowance / reductions

- A sibling allowance applies: the second child and all subsequent children receive a 20% reduction of the payment. (Separate legacy arrangements exist for families enrolled under older terms; earlier cohorts show different reduction levels in older school regulations.)

Boarding / dormitory

- The school does not operate its own boarding house. The school maintains relationships with external dormitories in Budapest and may provide recommendations; families whose children live in dormitories are responsible for dormitory costs and local arrangements. The school notes that dormitories require an adult responsible in Hungary. Approximate dormitory meal cost was referenced at about EUR 100 per month in communications about dormitory arrangements.

Other included services and additional costs

- Non-IB program (included): textbooks for the year are provided once (distributed before or at the beginning of the school year). If books are lost or damaged, the student must replace or reimburse the school for the full amount. The school also covers certain excursion items (e.g., up to HUF 6,000 per student toward travel and boarding for the annual 2-day class study trip). Freshmen camp travel, accommodation and full board are paid by the school. Some cultural event costs (museum/theatre) are covered by the school in limited cases.

- IB DP program (not included): textbooks, graphic calculator, laptop, external examination fees, and CAS-related expenses are explicitly not included in the published IB DP fee.

- Other specific items mentioned in school regulations: one-off Cambridge exam fee organization (school can organize and may cover this once for students depending on circumstances), standard lunch pricing (discounted lunch reference listed), and costs for optional trips and ski program are normally borne by families. The school covers some event costs (e.g., venue rental up to a stated cap for the graduating ball), while personal costume/rental and most trip extras remain the family's responsibility.

Refund information

- Tuition/support payments are stated as non-refundable once paid. The school's published regulations specify that the support paid for a school year is non-refundable.

Fee payment options (methods)

- Publicly available school fee pages and program brochures list amounts, billing schedule and instalment policy but do not specify the exact accepted payment methods (e.g., which card networks, whether online card payments are accepted, or the school's invoicing/bank-transfer details) on the published fee pages. Parents are directed to the school's contact channels for payment instructions and invoice/banking details.

Brief summary of what was located and where gaps remain

- Located and reported: published annual fees for the 2026/27 and most recently documented school years for non-IB and IB programs; the school's stated instalment billing schedule (two equal instalments before the semester) and non-refundable policy; sibling reductions; which services are included versus excluded; and dormitory status (no school-run boarding).
- Gaps in published detail: the school's public fee materials do not include explicit line-by-line chargeable extras (a single consolidated line-item fee schedule for every optional service), nor do they list specific accepted payment methods or the exact payment instruction text (bank account number / card processors) on the fee pages. For per-term figures above, instalment amounts were calculated by dividing the stated annual fee into two equal payments.
