Billing schedule and payment terms
- Deadlines and instalments for the 2025/2026 year:
- Registration fee and signed enrolment form: due by 30 April 2025.
- First instalment (1. rata contributo scolastico): due 1 September 2025.
- Second instalment (2. rata contributo scolastico): due 1 February 2026.
- The school instructs that foreign bank transfer charges must be borne by the payer. The annual school contribution and related items are expected to be paid in advance in the scheduled instalments.
- Inference on per‑term amounts: the published schedule requires two instalments on 01.09 and 01.02; therefore, unless otherwise specified in a contract, each instalment can be understood as covering one of the two scheduled payments. Calculating a per‑instalment amount by dividing the annual contributo scolastico by two is a direct arithmetic inference from the two‑instalment schedule (for example, a EUR 5,050 annual contributo would correspond to EUR 2,525 per instalment). This statement is an inference based on the published payment dates.
Refund and withdrawal policy
- Withdrawal of a pupil after a semester has started does not give the right to a refund of the paid fee nor to a partial or full cancellation of still‑due amounts. Non‑payment within the prescribed deadlines may lead to exclusion of the pupil.
Boarding / residential provision
- The school operates as a day school with defined daytime opening hours and school meal provision; there is no boarding/residential fee because boarding is not provided.
Fee payment options and bank details
- The school provides bank transfer details for payment (IBAN IT37C0538703229000035056306, BIC/SWIFT BPMOIT22XXX — BPER BANCA, Roma). Foreign transfer charges are to be borne by the payer. Payments are referenced to the instalment deadlines above.
How fees are presented in the schedule
- The published schedule itemises: registration quota (one‑off), contributo scolastico (annual tuition), meals (pasti per settimana), Wednesday afternoon supplements, IT contribution for secondary years, and administrative/penalty charges. The annual totals shown on the schedule combine these elements for an overall annual figure per child order.
Important dates (2025/2026 schedule referenced)
- School year dates indicated for 2025/2026: start Monday 8 September 2025 — end Friday 19 June 2026. Payment deadlines as above.
If you will publish this in a database, use the annual totals listed above for each year group and indicate the payment dates (01.09 and 01.02) so the database can display per‑term amounts by splitting the annual contributo into two instalments as shown.
About 20 nationalities are represented.
