- If billed in two equal instalments: EUR 625.00 per instalment.
- If billed in three equal instalments (termly split): EUR 416.67 per instalment.
(The published fee is stated as an annual amount of EUR 1,250 per student; the per-term figures above are the even splits of that annual amount.)
Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school's published charge is a compulsory annual school fee of EUR 1,250 per student. Textbook logistics are handled separately: compulsory textbooks are paid for by the school but parents enter into a rental agreement with the textbook supplier (Iddink) and order books directly; books are delivered to the home address before the start of the school year. Parents are responsible for providing a laptop (purchase or rental options available through a partnered supplier). Mandatory excursions, certain educational trips and examination costs (for the relevant year groups) are covered through the school's fee structure or additional arrangements described by the school.
Boarding fees
- Not applicable. Sondervick International School operates as a day secondary school and does not offer boarding; there are no boarding fees.
Other costs and optional charges
- Textbooks: Compulsory textbooks are paid for by the school; parents enter into a rental agreement with Iddink and place orders through that supplier. Delivery to the home address occurs before the school year begins.
- Laptop: Parents are responsible for the cost of purchasing or renting a laptop. A partnered provider offers rental and purchase options together with a service/warranty/damage-and-theft package. An alternative device is available through the school if a parent is unable or unwilling to provide a laptop.
- Voluntary parental contribution: A voluntary parental contribution is requested to fund extra activities (introductory programmes, cultural and sports activities, and other enrichment). Larger activities (for example some trips abroad) require separate registration and a separate voluntary contribution. Choosing not to pay the voluntary contribution does not exclude a student from activities; however, insufficient payments may lead the school to cancel an activity.
- School trip insurance and cancellation: The school maintains comprehensive group travel insurance for participants in school trips, but the Board has not purchased trip cancellation insurance; parents are advised to arrange cancellation insurance themselves if they require it. Parents remain responsible for insuring personal belongings and for liability for damage caused by their child.
Refund information
- Voluntary parental contributions are voluntary and paying or not paying does not exclude a student from school activities; the published materials do not set out a separate standard refund schedule for the compulsory annual school fee. Specific refund questions (for example when a student withdraws mid-year or for exceptional circumstances) are handled by the school's finance office.
