Per-term and alternative payment schedules (how the school presents term/instalment options)

- Standard billing is presented as monthly fees paid in 11 equal instalments (September–June), with the July tuition paid in advance as separate instalments. The annual tuition amounts shown above correspond to those monthly x11 calculations.
- If tuition is paid using alternative schedules, the published discounts on monthly tuition apply as follows: 5% discount for whole-year payment, 3% discount if paid by semester, and 1.5% discount if paid by trimester. (Discounts are not cumulative; the highest applicable discount is applied.) You may calculate a semester or trimester instalment by dividing the annual fee by 2 (semester) or by 3 (trimester) and then applying the stated discount if you choose that payment option.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Monthly tuition must be paid at the beginning of the month, by the 5th of each month. If payment is late, a 9% late fee is applied. The school may pursue legal collection for unpaid fees. The July tuition is collected in advance (split into instalments settled in December and April).
- Annual tuition is divided into 11 equal monthly payments to be settled between September and June. Temporary absences do not entitle families to discounts on tuition. Holiday breaks are already included in tuition calculation; no extra discounts for holidays.

Boarding fees

- There is no boarding provision for Butterflies School; the school operates as a day nursery, preschool and primary school for ages approximately 4 months to 10 years.

The meal plan covers morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack; the annual catering cost is divided into 11 instalments and interruptions to school activities do not entitle families to refunds or changes of these instalments.

- Occasional attendance: EUR 20 per day.
These options require a minimum number of participants and are committed for a full term when contracted.

The insurance premium (EUR 50) is not refundable. The meal-plan annual amount is divided into 11 instalments and interruptions to school activities do not entitle families to refunds or changes to those instalments.

Accepted payment methods and payment instructions

- Accepted payment methods: bank transfer (send payment proof to admin@butterflieseducation.com) and employer education-voucher schemes via Coverflex or Edenred where applicable. Some employers with partnership protocols may offer special conditions; check with your employer. All payment proof should be emailed to the school administration as instructed.

Important administrative notes

- Tuition payments are due by the 5th of each month. If fees are unpaid at month-end the school may take further action, including legal steps. The school reserves the right to withhold re-enrollment until outstanding fees are settled. The school calendar and term structure determine instalment timing (annual tuition split into 11 instalments between September and June; July tuition paid in advance).

Butterflies School in Beloura, Portugal, is a day school delivering bilingual education in Portuguese and English and following the Portuguese National Curriculum. English is treated as an equal language to Portuguese, with English- and Portuguese-speaking teachers in all classes. The school educates children from Nursery through Primary and blends project-based experiences with the Labs program and the Aloha Maths curriculum to enrich mathematical thinking and scientific inquiry. A German Section has been added as a German curriculum pathway, reflecting the school's commitment to multilingualism. Facilities combine bright indoor spaces with outdoor learning through Outdoor Discoveries, Mud Kitchen, Garden Patch, and Forest School activities. Key enrichment includes the Inventors Club and hands-on labs, plus extensive arts, science, and reading/writing in both languages. In 2024 the school moved to new, dedicated facilities in Quinta da Beloura, expanding its bilingual, child-centered, inquiry-driven approach. The environment supports curiosity, collaboration, and lifelong learning for families.
