Fees
Application fees and registration charges
- Test registration fee: EUR 50 payable to register for the entrance test.
- Pre‑enrolment (deposit) required to confirm a place for first‑year entrants: EUR 550 (this amount is treated as part of the annual tuition for Year 1). For some selection rounds the school issues a single payment instruction by bank transfer for the test and/or pre‑enrolment.

Tuition fees by year group (annual amounts and composition)
- Year 1 (Classe prima): Annual total EUR 7,000, itemised as:
- EUR 50 for the entrance test,
- EUR 550 pre‑enrolment (deposit),
- EUR 6,400 balance referred to as "saldo retta annuale".
- Year 2 (Classe seconda): Annual total EUR 7,000 (single annual amount).
- Years 3 and 4 (Classi terza e quarta): Annual total EUR 6,700.

Per‑term (example) breakdowns
- The school publishes annual tuition amounts. As an example only, if a family prefers a simple per‑term view and the annual fee were divided into three equal instalments, the amounts would be approximately:
- Year 1: EUR 7,000 ÷ 3 = EUR 2,333.33 per term (annual total EUR 7,000).
- Year 2: EUR 7,000 ÷ 3 = EUR 2,333.33 per term (annual total EUR 7,000).
- Years 3–4: EUR 6,700 ÷ 3 = EUR 2,233.33 per term (annual total EUR 6,700).
These per‑term figures are a straightforward division of the published annual fees for quick budgeting; the school's published amounts remain the annual totals above.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The application/test fee (EUR 50) is payable at the time of registering for the entrance test. The pre‑enrolment deposit (e.g., EUR 550 for first‑year entry) is payable to confirm a place once the candidate is declared eligible. The remaining annual balance is described as the "saldo retta annuale" and is payable to complete the annual tuition payment. Exact invoice dates and the school's instalment schedule are issued by the school at enrolment.

Payment methods and banking details
- The school accepts payment by bank transfer; the selection and admission notices give a specific account and IBAN (Carisbo – Intesa Sanpaolo) for payment of the test fee and pre‑enrolment. Parents commonly submit the bank transfer receipt to the school as proof of payment. No public statement indicating wide acceptance of card or other payment methods is provided alongside the transfer instructions.

Boarding or residential fees
- There is no boarding program or boarding fee listed as part of the tuition for the Bologna campus. School trips and sporting outings are listed as included in some school activities but any costs specifically for meals or accommodation on external trips are excluded and payable separately by families.

Other costs and fees (items not included in the tuition)
- Not included in the annual tuition and therefore additional to the amounts above:
- IGCSE exam registration fees (where applicable),
- school textbooks and learning materials,
- fees for national State‑exam registration / maturity exam fees and diploma issuance charges,
- costs for study trips or residential excursions (costs for vitto e alloggio when applicable).
- Items included in the published tuition: assigned laptop for student use, laboratory coats (camici), school polo shirt with school logo, use of a personal locker, access to certain supervised afternoon study and enrichment activities.

Refund and cancellation provisions (applicable items)
- The entrance test fee (EUR 50) is refunded to candidates who do not pass the entrance test; conversely, when a candidate passes the test but does not complete the pre‑enrolment step the test fee or other small administrative charges may be retained as an administrative reimbursement, as described in the school's selection notices. The pre‑enrolment deposit is treated as part of the tuition when a place is confirmed. Families should note that specific refund rules for pre‑enrolment and tuition are governed by the school's admission and enrolment rules and by the payment deadlines communicated at enrolment.

Summary of key figures for budgeting
- Year 1 (Classe prima): EUR 7,000 total (EUR 50 test + EUR 550 pre‑enrolment + EUR 6,400 balance).
- Year 2 (Classe seconda): EUR 7,000 total.
- Years 3–4 (Classi terza e quarta): EUR 6,700 total.

If you need these figures presented in a different currency or as fixed instalment schedules for a database import, those conversions and schedules can be computed from the annual amounts above.
