Per‑term / instalment detail
- Tuition figures are published as annual amounts and as the components shown above (entrance test, pre‑enrolment, and the annual balance). The school's published information sets out those annual totals and the required pre‑enrolment/test payments; specific per‑term invoice amounts are not provided in the published fee schedules.

Billing schedule and payment terms (key steps and deadlines shown in published materials)
- Entrance test registration: the EUR 50 test fee must be paid by bank transfer when sending the registration request for the test; the bank account details and IBAN are provided for payment of the test fee. If a candidate does not pass the test, the EUR 50 is refunded; if a candidate passes the test but does not complete pre‑enrolment, the EUR 50 may be retained as a secretarial/administrative charge.
- Pre‑enrolment window for successful candidates: successful candidates pay the pre‑enrolment amount (the published pre‑enrolment figure varies by year, see figures above) within the fixed dates announced for that admission round; places are then allocated in order of priority and arrival within the published window. If no final place is available by the stated waiting‑list cut‑off date, the pre‑enrolment amount is refunded in the circumstances set out in the selection notices.
- Formal enrolment and registration: enrolment must be formalized within the deadline published for the academic year; published selection documentation for entry rounds shows a registration step by mid‑January in the admission calendar with a specified registration payment amount to complete enrolment. The remaining annual balance (the “saldo” shown in the annual fee schedule) is identified as the outstanding part of the annual tuition.
- Exact invoice dates, the number of instalments accepted for the balance, and installment due dates are determined administratively and announced during finalization of enrolment; families are required to follow the school's formal invoicing and payment instructions at registration.

Boarding / residence (vitto e alloggio)
- Boarding / convitto is not listed as a standard part of the school's tuition fee schedule; no boarding fee schedule is published in the school's standard annual fee documents. Costs for meals and accommodation related to specific school trips or residential activities are excluded from the annual tuition and are charged separately if applicable.

Other costs and additional fees
- Items explicitly included in the annual tuition (where published): mandatory insurance and INAIL coverage, staffing and utilities, upkeep and updating of laboratory equipment and didactic tools, access to a student listening service, certain supervised afternoon study sessions and enhancement courses, the afternoon preparation course for IGCSE Mathematics, participation in student clubs, participation in selected national and international competitions, use of the laptop issued to each student (in comodato d'uso), laboratory coats, one school polo shirt with the school logo, and use of a personal locker.
- Items explicitly excluded from the annual tuition (charged separately): registration fees for IGCSE examination sessions, textbooks, registration and tax charges for state final exams (maturità) and diploma issuance, study trips and educational excursions (and any related costs for meals and accommodation). Families should expect separate charges for exam registration and for educational trips.
- Any additional school services (for example extended hours, specific optional extracurricular offerings, or paid residential activities) will be billed separately according to the school's published tariffs or event notices.

Refund information
- Entrance test fee refund: the entrance test fee of EUR 50 is refundable to candidates who do not pass the test. For candidates who pass the test but then do not complete pre‑enrolment, the test fee may be retained as an administrative charge according to the published selection rules.
- Pre‑enrolment refund on waiting list: if a candidate remains on the waiting list and no place becomes available by the published waiting‑list cut‑off date, the paid pre‑enrolment amount is refunded under the conditions set out in the selection notices. Published admission documents give the specific dates and refund conditions for each admission round.
- Other refund scenarios (early withdrawal after formal enrolment, partial refunds, penalties) are regulated by the school's enrolment and financial regulations and are handled according to the terms set out at the time of formal enrolment. Specific refund rules and any administrative retention amounts are stated in the school's enrollment/selection documentation.

Fee payment options
- Bank transfer: bank transfer is the documented method for test registration and for other fee payments; the school provides an IBAN for payments (payments for test registration in published selection notices are made by bonifico to the school's Carisbo / Intesa San Paolo account — the IBAN is published in the selection documentation accompanying admission notices).
- Other payment methods (credit card, PagoPA, direct debit, etc.) are not detailed in the standard published fee documents; families should follow the school's invoicing instructions provided at enrolment for any alternative payment options accepted in a given year.

Summary of the most relevant numeric figures (academic year 2026/27)

- Year 2 and Year 3: EUR 7,000 per year.
