Application fees
- There is no application fee charged by the school for admission to its state-funded general education programmes.
Tuition fees (by year group / programme)
- There is no tuition charged for attendance in the school's state/municipal general education programmes (primary and secondary). General education is provided without tuition charges.
School meals (costs, per-day rates and who pays)
- 1st–4th grades: meals are funded from state/municipal budgets and pupils do not pay for school meals.
- 5th–12th grades: if a pupil's registered place of residence is in Rīga, the municipality covers the meal cost (0.00 EUR per day). If the pupil is not registered in Rīga, the parental contribution is EUR 1.47 per day.
- Preschool-age provision (where applicable): if residence is registered in Rīga, the meal cost is covered; if not registered in Rīga, the parental contribution is EUR 2.15 per day.
Billing schedule and payment terms for meals and related procedures
- Meal payments are handled through the Mobilly mobile application. Families add funds to a Mobilly wallet and assign a child to the launags (meal) service in the app; the school begins processing payments in Mobilly from 19 January 2026 under the current procedure. Parents must keep enough balance in Mobilly for at least one meal. Cancellation of a meal for a given day must be made in Mobilly no later than 09:00 that day; cancellation after 09:00 will not prevent the meal being prepared and the charge being applied. Unused funds paid under the previous payment arrangement and not consumed by 18 January 2026 are refundable on request; refund requests are handled by e‑mail to the meal-provider accounting address indicated by the school.
Boarding / residential provision
- The school does not operate an internat/boarding facility; there are no boarding fees because the institution does not provide residential accommodation services. Rules for visitors and the presence of parents/other persons on site reflect the school's day‑school operation.
Uniforms and clothing costs
- A school uniform is required for pupils in grades 1–12. Uniforms are ordered through the official e-shop noted by the school (FORMATEV), and orders must be paid at the time the order is placed; the school publishes ordering windows and delivery deadlines for the uniform supplier each year. Parents may also have uniform garments made to the school's approved models and colours by an independent tailor, but the supplier e‑shop is the standard channel for ordering. Expect to pay the supplier's retail price for garments (prices set by the supplier).
Other costs and optional fees
- Extracurricular activities, preparatory classes or specific optional programmes organised by external providers or by the parent association may require separate participation fees; such charges are set by the organising body (for example, parent associations or external activity providers) and are billed separately from the school's state-funded provision. The school has an active parent association for school development which operates its own bank account for payments.
- School trips, subject-specific examination fees (where applicable) and replacement/compensation charges for lost or damaged school property may generate additional costs charged to parents; such costs are specified by the school or event organiser when applicable.
Refunds and cancellations (where applicable)
- Meal-system refunds: funds already paid under the previous meal-payment system that remain unused after the migration to Mobilly are refundable on request; the meal-provider accounting contact is used to request refunds. Meal cancellations must be submitted in Mobilly by 09:00 on the day in question to avoid being charged for that day's meal.
- Refunds for other optional paid activities or services (extracurriculars, association-organised programmes) follow the payment and refund terms established by the activity organiser or parent association; those terms are set by the organiser and will be communicated at registration.
Fee payment options
- School meals: payment is processed via the Mobilly mobile application (Mobilly wallet top-up and assignment of the child to the meal service). Mobilly accepts the payment methods supported by the app. Cancellation and top-up rules apply as above.
- Uniforms: purchased and paid through the designated supplier e‑shop (payment methods per the supplier's e‑shop).
- Parent association and other voluntary payments: the parent association publishes bank account details for transfers and accepts payments by bank transfer to its account.
If you are compiling these items into a database: list tuition as “No tuition (state/municipal school)”, list meal charges per the daily rates above and mark uniforms and extracurriculars as separate payable items with supplier/organiser specified as "external supplier / parent association" where applicable.
