- Book fee: €300 per student, charged at registration. (Textbooks are school property and issued as rentals.)
Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school's published materials available online do not include a current, itemized tuition schedule by year group or per‑term amounts for the present academic year. The school's public enrollment form and information leaflets list registration and book fees but do not publish tuition rates by grade or term.
- Historical reference (older public listing): an external guide published earlier (2017–18 period) reported annual tuition in the range of approximately €5,000–€6,000 depending on grade level and language support needs; this figure is a historical estimate and is not presented as a current schedule.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Registration and book fees are due at enrollment/registration.
- Ongoing tuition is billed as regular school contributions and is required to be paid on time each month. Tuition contributions should be paid by the 10th day of each month; failure to meet this monthly payment schedule can lead to student suspension. Final school records and documents are withheld until all school contributions have been paid in full.
Boarding fees
- Boarding is not offered. The school operates as a day school with stated school hours of 08:30–15:30 and policies oriented to day attendance; no boarding fee schedule or boarding service is published.
Other costs and fees
- Uniform: all students are required to wear a school uniform. The cost of the uniform is not itemized in the school's published enrollment documents.
- Textbooks: school textbooks are issued as rentals and must be returned in the condition they were lent; any damage or loss obligations are implied by the rental policy but specific charges for damaged or lost books are not itemized in the available documents. Book fee of €300 per student is charged.
- Other potential fees (transport, lunches, extracurricular activities, examination fees, insurance): no itemized schedules for these charges are published in the materials available online.
Refund information
- The registration fee (and the stated additional‑sibling registration fee) is non‑refundable. The available enrollment form does not publish a broader tuition refund policy for mid‑year withdrawals or other circumstances; final records are withheld until all contributions are paid.
Fee payment options
- The school's publicly available enrollment documents and information PDFs do not specify accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, credit card, or cash) or the bank details/payment portal on the published forms. No explicit payment channels or instalment platform details are listed in the materials available online.
Brief summary of availability of information
- The school publishes and charges specific non‑refundable registration and book fees (registration €300 first child, €200 per additional sibling; book fee €300 per student) and specifies a monthly payment expectation (payments due by the 10th). Full, current tuition rates broken down by year group and per term, as well as published payment method options and any detailed refund policy for tuition, were not found in the school's publicly available enrollment documents.
If you need these items shown in your external database precisely (for example, fields for per‑grade tuition and accepted payment methods), note that the school's publicly posted materials supply the registration/book amounts and the monthly billing date but do not provide the per‑grade per‑term tuition schedule or explicit payment method list.
