Billing schedule and payment terms
- Invoices must be paid in advance to guarantee places. Payment options for the academic year include: (A) pay in full by the invoice date (or by 1 June for returning students), or (B) pay in two instalments (option available if enrolled before 1 October). When paying in two instalments the first instalment is 50% of tuition plus the EUR 25 admin fee (and EUR 500 deposit for new students) by 1 June (or within 14 days of invoice for new students); the remaining 50% is due by 31 October. New students starting after the year begins must usually pay the full invoice (including deposit) within 14 days of invoice date.
- Payment method: payment can only be made by bank transfer to the school's account at Rabobank (IBAN: NL64 RABO 0316 370 223; BIC: RABONL2U). For international transfers the school requires the OUR instruction so that transfer charges are paid by the sender. Receipts are available via the school's Open Apply invoicing/account system.

Boarding fees
- The school's published materials list campus locations for Primary and Secondary and do not include any boarding provision or boarding charges; boarding fees are therefore not applicable.

Refunds and withdrawal notice requirements
- If a student is withdrawn before their scheduled start date, 90 days' written notice from the original start date is required to obtain a full refund of tuition and the deposit; failure to provide 90 days' notice will result in no refund. For withdrawal between August and March a 60‑day notice is required and refunds of the annual tuition are applied on a sliding scale depending on the month the student leaves. Example refund percentages (month of leaving) are as follows:
- September–November: 50% refunded of the annual tuition.
- December–January: 40% refunded.
- February (Primary): 30% refunded; (Secondary schedule shows February–March at 20% refunded; check the relevant year‑group schedule for exact percentage).
- March: 20% refunded (Primary); April–July: 0% refunded.
- The deposit return is conditional on fee settlement, correct notice and return of school property; refunds can take up to 10 working weeks and international transfer charges for refunds are applied to the recipient. These notice and refund rules are stated separately for Primary and Secondary fee agreements.

Consequences of non‑payment
- Failure to pay invoices when due may result in a student being moved to the waiting list (placement no longer guaranteed), withholding of certificates/transcripts, suspension from participation in lessons, referral to debt‑collection, and denial of subsequent year placement until fees are cleared.
