Billing schedule and payment terms

- Primary school tuition is billed as a single annual amount and is due at the start of the school year. Late entry is charged on a pro rata basis using the formula: (annual tuition ÷ 10) × number of months remaining until the end of the school year. Payments in Nigerian Naira are converted using the parallel market exchange rate.

- Kindergarten and preschool invoices are issued monthly. If an annual invoice is requested for kindergarten or preschool, the annual amount is calculated as nine times the monthly fee (9 × monthly fee). Optional services (afternoon care, bus, lunch) are billed according to their stated frequency (monthly or per half-year as applicable).

- The application/enrolment form allows selection of payment timing options for applicable items (e.g., full academic year in advance, half-year in advance, or monthly advance). Currency options on the payment form include Nigerian Naira, Euro and US Dollar.

Boarding fees

- The Deutsche Schule Abuja operates as a day school; boarding provision and boarding fees are not applicable.

Other costs and typical additional charges

- School uniform: pupils wear school clothing (T-shirts, sweatshirt jackets; for girls also dresses). A cost for uniform items is not specified in the published fee schedule; families should budget for uniform purchase as an additional one‑time cost.
- Occasional charges that may arise (not listed as fixed fees) include school trips/excursions, special materials, examination fees where applicable, and extracurricular activity costs; optional services such as afternoon care and the school bus are itemised above.

Refunds and adjustments

- No pro rata refund of school tuition is made for pupils who leave the school before the end of the school year. The school applies the stated pro rata formula only for calculating fees for late entry; departing pupils do not receive an anteil (partial) refund of already‑paid school fees.

Fee payment options (currency and timing)

- Currencies accepted for invoicing: Nigerian Naira (NGN), Euro (EUR) and US Dollar (USD). Payments in Naira are converted using the parallel market exchange rate.
- Timing options available on the application/payment form for applicable items include full academic year in advance, half‑year/semester in advance, or monthly advance payments. Specific payment methods (for example, bank transfer or card) are arranged through the school's finance office as part of invoicing and enrolment procedures; the application form documents the available timing and currency options.

Sibling discounts
