Application and registration fees
- Registration (one‑time) fee: RON 7,676 (paid once at enrolment).
- Reservation / advance deposit: the school requires an advance payment to secure a place; this advance is credited against the annual tuition and is distinct from the one‑time registration fee. (Advance / reservation amount and timing are part of the school's enrolment billing practice).

Per‑term amounts (simple division for record‑keeping)
- The school publishes annual tuition figures. For databases that require per‑term breakdowns, you can represent a per‑term amount by dividing the annual tuition by the number of school terms used in your system. Example (illustrative arithmetic only): if you show three equal terms, per‑term = annual tuition ÷ 3 (e.g., Kindergarten 1: RON 66,015 ÷ 3 = RON 22,005 per term). The annual figures above are the published inputs for such calculations.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- First year total: the first year of enrolment typically shows the one‑time registration fee plus the annual tuition as a combined charge for the initial invoice (example published presentation shows a higher total for the first year reflecting the registration fee + annual tuition).
- Reservation / advance: a reservation or advance payment is required to secure a place; that advance is credited against the annual tuition. Parents are required to pay the reservation/advance in order to confirm enrolment.
- Sibling discount: a 5% discount applies to each younger sibling while multiple siblings are enrolled.
Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable; the published fee listings show day‑school tuition and do not include boarding fees (no full or weekly boarding charges are published for Cambridge School of Bucharest).
Other costs and ancillary fees
- Special educational needs / EAL surcharge: a supplemental fee for additional learning support or English as an Additional Language placement is published by some sources and can apply in addition to tuition (examples in public reporting show a supplementary fee for specific support programmes).
- Examination fees and external assessment: Cambridge examination fees and other external exam charges are not included in headline tuition and are invoiced separately when applicable.
- School meals / catering, school transport (bus), uniforms, textbooks and some activity trips are typically charged in addition to headline tuition; several published summaries of school costs list these as extra items to budget for.
Refund and cancellation policy (fees)
- The registration fee is presented as a one‑time, non‑refundable payment at enrolment. The advance / reservation payment is credited against tuition; published information indicates it is applied to the tuition account and treated as part of the fees ledger. Parents should treat the registration fee as non‑refundable and the advance as a credit toward fees.
Fee payment options
- In practice, international and private schools in Bucharest invoice in RON and commonly accept bank transfer as the primary method for payment of tuition invoices. Card and other electronic payment methods are used at many schools for one‑time payments or deposits; the school issues invoices for fee payments that can be settled by the usual business‑to‑school payment channels. (Use the school's admissions contact for precise payment account details and accepted payment channels when preparing enrolment paperwork.)
