Billing schedule and payment terms
- Invoice and payment options are set after admission. The school's preferred method for instalments is automatic direct debit from a Euro bank account. The school also accepts a single payment of the full annual amount (due within 30 days of invoice). Proof of payment is not routinely supplied by the school; parents should keep bank records and the annual fees invoice as their proof. Employer payments are accepted as a one-time payment but an additional administrative fee applies to company-pay arrangements. Fees for a child who starts mid-year are calculated on a pro-rata basis.
Boarding fees
- There are no boarding facilities; the ISE does not accept students who will not live with their parents or guardians. There are therefore no boarding fees.
Other costs and charges
- Refundable deposit (Secondary only): EUR 500 per child. The deposit is refundable subject to the school's withdrawal/checkout procedures and after all outstanding debts are settled and checklist items (textbooks, library books, locker clearance etc.) are completed.
- The annual school fee is intended to cover base school costs and compulsory school-related costs; these monies contribute towards smaller class sizes, specialist classes, examination costs and compulsory excursions/trips. Additional charges may apply for specialist external support, optional home-language lessons, subject-specific materials, and some after-school activities or external providers. The secondary and primary information notes that specialist support and certain home-language or external services can incur extra cost. Primary Dutch Bilingual students bring their own snacks and lunches; the main campus cafeteria is run by an external company and may be paid for separately.
- The school does not require a uniform.
Refund information
- Application/registration fee: non-refundable.
- Refundable deposit (secondary): refundable after the student completes the school's withdrawal checklist and after all outstanding obligations are cleared. Outstanding debts must be paid before deposit return. Tuition fees for a child who leaves during the year are calculated pro rata; the school applies pro-rata adjustments for mid-year starts/leaving.
Fee payment options (methods accepted/typical arrangements)
- Application fee: paid online via PayPal at the time of application (PayPal accepts card payments where available); alternative arrangements may be discussed if PayPal is not accessible from your location.
- Annual tuition / instalments: preferred by automatic direct debit from a Euro bank account (arranged after admission). A one-time full payment within 30 days of invoice is also accepted. Employer-pay arrangements are possible as a single payment (additional administrative/company fee applies). Parents should expect to arrange bank transfers/direct debit in Euros for tuition instalments.
Notes for parents (practical points)
- Fees are quoted per child and apply to the stated year group. Fees are subject to the school's invoicing and admissions procedures and are applied pro rata for mid-year admissions. Keep bank transaction records alongside the annual fees invoice for proof of payment because the school does not routinely provide monthly receipts.
