Billing schedule and payment terms (how fees are normally billed and processed)

Examples across QSI information packets show a three‑term billing structure with specific due dates for each term.

- Discounts, late‑enrollment fees, and reversal of early‑payment discounts are policies used at QSI schools; exact discount schedules and late‑enrollment penalties vary by campus and year.

Other costs and typical extras parents should expect
- Transportation (school bus) — billed annually or by term; example amount cited above.
- Meals / lunch — usually available as a paid catering option (example: USD 5/day).
- Textbooks, consumables and lost/damaged item replacement — schools commonly charge replacement fees for lost or damaged books or library materials.

Refund and withdrawal / refundability rules (general QSI practice shown in information packets)
- QSI schools commonly apply specific refund rules for withdrawal during the school year: fees already paid may be adjusted according to the school's refund policy, early‑payment discounts may be reversed if a student withdraws, and late‑enrollment fees can be applied for mid‑year starts. Exact refund amounts, deadlines, and any administrative/withdrawal fees are set by the campus and shown in each school's fee policy.

Fee payment options (typical methods used by QSI campuses)

Important operational note about available published figures for 2026/27 or 2025/26
- The school's public admissions pages explicitly state the one‑time registration fee (USD 600) and provide contact details for admissions and billing. Numeric, per‑grade or per‑term tuition schedules for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year are not published on the school's public admissions pages or in a Skopje‑specific fee card accessible online; QSI network information packets and external fact sheets provide example figures and typical fee categories but the campus does not publish a full current term‑by‑term fee table in its public materials.

Summary for parents (straightforward checklist)
- Pay a one‑time, non‑refundable registration fee of USD 600 to begin admission processing.
- Expect preschool and K–12 tuition to be charged annually with the option (at many QSI campuses) to pay by term; published example figures in publicly available school material include preschool half‑day USD 3,000; preschool full‑day USD 4,300; and an example single K–12 annual figure USD 17,000. Budget separately for a capital fund fee, transportation, meals, books, extracurriculars, and occasional one‑off charges.

(If you require precise, itemised term and per‑grade amounts for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year for database entry, the school's admissions/billing office can provide the official current fee schedule and invoice terms.)

Admissions

Admissions
Step 1: The school provides English-medium, North American international education for expatriates. Local citizens who want their children educated in English are also accepted. Admissions are aligned to the QSI mission, vision and values. Applications are submitted online via OpenApply. Step 2: The school accepts students with no previous English from preschool through US Grade 8. Secondary students must demonstrate increasing levels of language proficiency, as determined by an English language assessment administered at the schools. Older students with little or no English may spend additional years enrolled in Secondary in order to graduate with a QSI diploma. Step 3: Students are assigned to classes according to their birthdays. QSIS classes do not use traditional American terms; elementary classes are named by age (e.g., five-year-old class, six-year-old class). In some cases, students will be assigned to classes based on levels completed at previous schools. Exceptions can only be made through a meeting with the Director, and the rationale is documented in the student's permanent file with parental sign-off. Step 4: The school admits students with limited learning needs. For students with moderate to severe disabilities, the school will review additional information including evaluations, reports, IEPs, or school referrals to determine whether a program can be provided. QSI sometimes accepts special-needs students based on the family or sponsor providing the additional school fees to cover professional services. Students identified with challenges the school cannot address can be denied. Step 5: Prerequisites for Preschool: The child must turn three before November 1 to be admitted to the program; exceptions may be made only by the school director, and only in coordination with the parents and preschool teachers. Children must be toilet trained and able to feed themselves; they should demonstrate the willingness and ability to engage with peers and be led by the teacher. Any exceptions must be approved by the school director. Step 6: Intensive English: The school offers an Intensive English program for students who need additional instruction in verbal and written English, particularly those for whom English is not a first language. The goal is to bring students to a level of academic English, including oral competency, which allows them to transfer to regular classes as rapidly as possible. Students progress at different rates depending on age, maturity, linguistic background, and previous exposure to English. Intensive English content parallels Elementary literacy while building a foundation for academic success.
