Application & Registration fees
- Application (registration) fee: €550 per child — one-time, non‑refundable; an invoice is issued to process the application.
- Enrolment fee: €1,000 per child — one-time, non‑refundable; payable after accepting the provisional offer and not deducted from tuition.
Tuition (annual and per term) — all primary year groups
- Annual tuition (Winford Bilingual Amsterdam): €23,800. This single annual tuition applies across the primary year groups (Panda, Zebra, Giraffe, Eagle).
- Per-term (three-term breakdown): dividing the annual tuition by three gives an equal-term amount of approximately €7,933.33 per term (annual ÷ 3).
- Instalment option effect (calculation): a three‑instalment payment option is offered but carries a 3% additional administration/interest charge. Applying 3% to the annual tuition (3% of €23,800 = €714) yields a total of €24,514; divided by three gives instalments of about €8,171.33 each. This per‑instalment figure is a calculated example based on the published 3% charge.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Single payment: full tuition payable in one instalment; the single‑payment deadline is before 1 August.
- Three instalments: due on 1 August, 15 November and 1 February. The three‑instalment option requires issuance of a direct debit and includes a 3% additional administration/interest charge.
- Pro‑rata charging: tuition is pro‑rated depending on the child's start date if enrolling during the school year. Instalment availability for mid‑year enrolment depends on the start date and may include additional administration/interest costs.
