Application fees and entrance testing
- Testing (student diagnostic test / assessment): EUR 50 per student.
- One-time admission (registration/entry) fee: EUR 950 (one-off payment required to reserve a place). Admission fees for specific entry-years or programmes may differ (examples on school notices include other one-off admission amounts for certain year-groups).

Tuition fees (day-school programmes) — standard full‑day education
- Standard full‑day tuition (national and International Baccalaureate tracks where applicable): EUR 740 per month, billed in 10 instalments per year. Annual tuition (10 instalments) therefore equals EUR 7,400.
- Family discount: 20% reduction on tuition for the second and each subsequent child from the same family (this discount does not apply to the additional International Baccalaureate programme fee or to pupils receiving a school scholarship).

Additional International Baccalaureate (IB) programme fee (where chosen)
- Pre‑school and grades 1–5: additional EUR 100 per month (billed in the same 10 instalments).
- Grades 6–10 and grades 11–12 (IB MYP / IB DP cohorts): additional EUR 170 per month (billed in the same 10 instalments).

- A bilingual pre‑primary option has a higher stated monthly fee in the school's published schedules (example historic/bilingual rate shown as EUR 800 per month in published fee tables). Parents choosing bilingual pre‑primary should note the differentiated rate applied to that programme.

Per‑term / per‑installment presentation

If the admission fee is not paid in the required time the reserved place may be offered to another student.

- Curriculum extras and items parents commonly pay for separately include: some textbooks and individual pupil learning materials, certain competitions and olympiad entry fees, some class or school excursions (transport and entrance fees), certain extracurricular activities or additional individual/group tutorials where applicable, specialist lessons requested beyond standard provision, and school meals. These items are published as additional payable items.
- Specific programme or year‑group one‑off admission fee variations exist (examples in published admissions pages show different one‑off amounts for entry to certain year groups or to the Little Lyceum). Where applicable, those one‑off figures are charged in addition to regular tuition.

Refund and cancellation policy (key points)
- The one‑time admission (registration/entry) fee is non‑refundable when a family later changes their decision not to enrol after paying that fee. The school may release a reserved place if the admission fee is not paid on time.
- Other refunds (for tuition instalments, meals, activities, etc.) are handled according to the school's internal payment and contract terms as published in parent/student agreement documents and admission notices; some additional services or activities are explicitly listed as separately chargeable.

Fee payment options and invoicing details
- Bank transfer is accepted; the school publishes bank account details and IBANs for payments. Example published billing details include a Swedbank account IBAN for the main entity and a Swedbank IBAN for the Little Lyceum; another published contact page lists a Luminor bank account for the school. Payment by bank transfer to the school's account(s) is the documented payment channel.
- For invoicing, accounting and specific payment arrangements (timing of instalments, reference information to include with transfers, and which bank account to use for a given unit of the school) use the school's published billing/rekvizitai contacts (account and accounting contact details are provided on the school's contact/rekvizitai pages).

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
The school implements Social and Emotional Learning (SEU) through a proprietary framework and the Lions Quest program. Education is differentiated and individualized to meet each child's interests, abilities, social and psychological development. Teaching uses methods such as parallel talk, where adults comment on the child's actions, and feedback, expansion, clarification, and paraphrasing to help the child express themselves accurately. The adult provides cues and prompts to help the child find the missing word, predict intention, and demonstrate understanding through nonverbal supports such as facial expressions and gestures. SEU aims to develop emotional awareness, self-regulation, self-esteem, relationships with peers and adults, and communication skills.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
English language development is supported through a bilingual education program. Students completing primary education can continue at Klaipėda Lyceum's basic and upper secondary levels: in grade 5 under the bilingual program, and in grades 6–12 under the International Baccalaureate (IB MYP and IB DP) programs.

Mental Wellbeing
SEU supports mental wellbeing through emotional awareness, self-regulation, self-esteem, and social relationships. The school also implements a health improvement program, introduced in 2018, including physical conditioning, sea therapy, morning and corrective exercises, healthy nutrition, aromatherapy and music therapy, color therapy, children's yoga, massages, Nordic walking along the coast, outdoor activities, herbal teas, and inhalations.

Safeguarding
The school maintains information security and information resources usage policies. It provides guidance and support for safeguarding, including a program for students who use psychoactive substances.
