Fees
Application fees
- No separate application or entrance fee is charged for admission to Vilnius Lyceum; admissions are managed through the school's published admission procedures and municipal admission systems.

Tuition fees (by year group and per term)
- Core day-school education (all grades in the standard Lithuanian-language and IB-track programmes) is provided by Vilnius Lyceum as a municipal budgetary institution; there is no annual tuition charged to families for standard study programmes.
- Tarptautinio bakalaureato (IB Diploma) programme: the municipality pays the annual fee for running the IB Diploma programme; families are responsible only for IB external examination fees and related postage/registration costs. There is no separate per-term or per-year tuition billed to parents for classroom instruction in the IB programme.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Day-to-day paid services in school (for example, purchases in the school canteen) are paid at point of service in the cafeteria by cash or by payment card. Monthly accounting of free-meal usage is compiled by the school's administration for reporting and funding purposes. Immediate payment is used for on-site purchases; other service payments (trips, event registrations) follow the invoicing/registration terms set for each activity.

Boarding fees
- Vilnius Lyceum does not operate a boarding/bursa program as part of its standard provision and does not publish boarding fees. Overnight accommodation costs that appear in school foundation records relate to short-term event or travel accommodation (for trips or staff events), not a permanent boarding service.

Other costs and typical examples
- IB external examination fees and registered-post postage for sending IB materials: charged to parents (amounts vary by session and by IBO schedule).
- School-related activity fees that families may be asked to pay for specific events, competitions, travel or registrations include (examples from the school's foundation records): participant registration fees for international competitions, transport/rail/air tickets for exchanges, accommodation for trips, event catering, and competition entry fees. Example item amounts from foundation records include registration or participation fees of several hundred to a few thousand euros for international events, postage and registered-mail charges for IB materials, and event catering/transport costs. These are activity-specific and billed according to the event's instructions.
- Routine school purchases (textbooks, digital licences, materials, or optional platforms) appear as discrete charges or purchases in foundation documents in individual years; some digital or platform licences are procured centrally and, in some cases, covered by the foundation. Families should expect occasional, activity-specific costs (competitions, trips, optional programs).
- Uniform: the school does not publish a compulsory uniform fee or a mandatory uniform price schedule. If any optional branded items or event clothing are offered, they are handled as separate purchases. (No consolidated uniform fee schedule is published.)

Refund information
- The school does not publish a consolidated refund policy for general tuition or for activity fees in a single, central fee schedule. Refunds or cancellations for specific paid services (canteen purchases, event registrations, travel, or third-party services) are handled according to the terms of the specific service, contract or provider and by applicable municipal rules for publicly funded services. Appeals relating to free-meal entitlement decisions are available under the school's meal-organisation procedures.

Fee payment options
- On-site cafeteria purchases: cash or payment card.
- Payments routed through the Vilnius Lyceum / Vilniaus licėjaus labdaros ir paramos fondas (for foundation-covered activities and centrally administered purchases) can be made by bank transfer to the foundation's account; the school's published foundation account details are provided for transfers. Event- or trip-specific invoices will state the exact payment method and deadlines.

Summary of applicability for the 2026/27 academic year
- Core instruction at Vilnius Lyceum is provided without a family-paid annual tuition charge; the municipal authority funds the IB programme's annual operational fee while families cover IB examination and postage costs. Paid services (canteen purchases) are paid at point of sale by cash or card; additional, activity-specific costs (competition registrations, travel, accommodation, digital licences, event catering) are billed per event and appear in foundation accounting. The school does not publish a consolidated per-term/per-year family tuition schedule because standard instruction is municipally funded; itemised fees for specific events and services are published or invoiced on a per-activity basis.

Note: available school documents (admissions forms and rules, IB programme page, the school's meal-organisation rules and the foundation's 2025 activity invoices) were reviewed to compile the above; specific monetary amounts for IB exam fees are set by the IB Organisation and event or trip fees vary by activity and year. If a consolidated, dated fee schedule for 2026/27 is required, the school's published documents do not provide a single unified tuition table for families because standard classroom tuition is municipally funded.
