Fees
Application / Registration fees

- The school charges a Registration (application/enrolment) fee that must be paid as part of the admission/enrolment process.

Tuition fees by year group (day students)

- The school charges an annual Tuition Fee for each student. Exact published fee amounts by year group are not made publicly available on the published fee-download page; a third-party school-data listing reports an annual tuition range of EUR 9,900 to EUR 14,900 depending on grade/program. Where the school publishes a formal fee schedule, families are asked to request that schedule from Admissions.

Tuition fees by term / instalments

- A specific per-term or per-installment breakdown and per-grade figures are not posted publicly; families are invited to request the current academic-year fee schedule from Admissions to obtain the full per-term and per-year-group amounts and the instalment options.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school manages admissions and fee communication through its Admissions process and provides the current fees via an enrolment/fees request form. Public pages and published policy documents describe enrolment timelines and re-enrolment priority but do not publish a public, itemised billing calendar or detailed payment-terms document (due dates, penalties, discounts) for the current year.

Boarding fees (where applicable)

- WINS operates a Boarding House on campus and charges a Boarding Fee separate from the day-student Tuition Fee. The Boarding House capacity and residential offer are explicitly described by the school, and scholarship documentation refers to the Boarding Fee as a discrete charge that may be covered by scholarships in whole or in part. Specific boarding fee amounts are not published on the public pages examined.

Other costs and compulsory ancillary fees

- Canteen (school-meal) fee: the school specifies a Canteen (mensa) fee as a separate cost.
- Registration/Admission fee: see note under Application / Registration fees.
- Additional likely charges (not published with amounts): school uniforms, extracurricular activities, school trips, examination fees (IB examination charges or externally invoiced exam fees), learning-support or EAL top-up classes where required, transport/school-bus service, specialist materials or technology contributions. These items are referenced as categories of out-of-scope costs in the school's scholarship and admissions documentation but are not published with fixed amounts.

Refund information

- No public, itemised refund policy or published refund schedule (for registration fees, deposits, tuition or boarding) was found in the school admission policy or downloadable materials reviewed. The publicly posted admissions and scholarship documents note which costs remain payable by families when scholarships are awarded but do not publish a general refund clause for withdrawals or early departures.

Fee payment options

- Public pages and downloadable materials reviewed do not list specific accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, online payment portal, or other). Communication and fee schedules are handled through the Admissions process and application platform; families receive invoice and payment instructions via the Admissions/finance office.

Summary of what is and is not published

- Published and confirmed: the school charges a Registration/Registration Fee, a Tuition Fee and a separate Boarding Fee; a Canteen fee is specifically called out; the school operates a Boarding House and offers scholarships that may cover tuition and boarding.
- Not published in the materials accessible without requesting the fee packet: precise numeric values for Registration Fee, the per-year-group Tuition Fee by grade, the per-term instalment amounts and dates, the Boarding Fee amounts, specific refund terms, and a list of accepted payment methods. The school's Admissions page provides a form families complete to receive the official WINS fee schedule for the academic year.

If you need the school's formal, itemised fee schedule for the current academic year (per-grade annual and per-term amounts, boarding price bands, payment deadlines and accepted payment methods), the Admissions office issues that fee packet on request; the public materials reviewed direct families to request the official WINS fee document.
