Fees

Application fees
- There is no separate application fee for admission to Vilnius Sholom Aleichem ORT Gymnasium's general education programmes (kindergarten, primary, basic and upper‑secondary levels).

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- Kindergarten, primary (1–4), basic (5–10) and upper‑secondary (11–12) education at Vilnius Sholom Aleichem ORT Gymnasium is provided as a Vilnius City Municipality budgetary (public) school; there is no tuition charge for standard full‑time schooling. (No per‑term or per‑year tuition fee is levied for the regular school programmes.)

Mandatory meal / childcare fees (where applicable) and typical charges
- For children attending pre‑school / before‑school or full‑day care components that fall under Vilnius municipal rules, a fixed monthly fee applies for the child's care and meals when the child attends more than four hours per day; the municipal framework adopted from 2025 sets the common monthly rate used across Vilnius institutions (example municipal rate in this framework: EUR 26 per month for full‑day care). Monthly meal/childcare fees are charged separately from tuition (which is not charged).

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Meal and monthly childcare charges are billed for the previous month and are payable on a monthly schedule. Invoices for these monthly charges are normally issued and must be paid by the date stated on the municipal payment rules (commonly due by the 25th of the current month; December due dates may differ under municipal rules). Late or outstanding payments are subject to the statutory procedures described in Vilnius municipal school payment regulations.

Boarding / dormitory fees
- The Gymnasium does not operate a boarding house or residential dormitory as part of its provision; no boarding fees apply. Education is organised as day schooling for the stated age ranges.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- Paid school activities and events: The school runs paid extracurricular activities and short programmes (for example, summer day camps and special programmes). Example: a published summer day‑camp fee of EUR 180 for a camp session (price included three meals and educational activities for that programme). Payments for such activities use the programme's payment instructions.
- Extracurricular clubs, trips and project fees: Parents should expect occasional additional charges for optional extracurriculars, field trips, special workshops, project materials, exam fees for optional certificated programmes, and similar voluntary services; these are billed separately when applicable.
- Uniforms and school clothing: No compulsory school uniform fee is listed as part of the Gymnasium's standard provision. Costs for specific clothing (if required for particular activities or trips) would be communicated for that activity.

Refund information
- Tuition refunds: There is no tuition charged for the regular full‑time school programmes, so there is no tuition refund regime for standard schooling.
- Paid programmes and activities: Refund and cancellation conditions for paid activities (for example summer camps, paid clubs or trips) are determined by the specific programme terms and by the school's administrative rules for that activity; requests for refunds or cancellations are handled by the school administration according to those programme terms. (Payment receipts and the programme announcement provide the operative conditions for refunds or cancellations for that activity.)

Fee payment options
- Bank transfer: The school and its programmes accept payment by bank transfer; example payment instructions for a school camp list the beneficiary and an IBAN for bank transfer (the camp payment example shows account IBAN LT68 4010 0424 0395 1807 and beneficiary BĮ “Skaitlis”).
- Municipal invoicing / electronic systems: Monthly meal/childcare invoices are commonly issued through the Vilnius municipal school invoicing channels (parents receive invoices and may pay following the municipal invoicing procedures). Payment channels for municipal fees typically follow the city's invoicing guidance.

If a specific numeric breakdown (for an individual paid programme, camp session, or optional activity) is required for your database entry, use the programme's published price or the invoice details issued for that activity when available.
