Tuition expressed annually and prepayment
- Monthly tuition amounts are shown in the school tariff documents. An annual total can be calculated as monthly × 12. A 12‑month prepayment discount of 3% is offered when a 12‑month prepayment is made (applied once and repeatable only after 12 months). Example (using the common single‑child monthly including VAT rate shown): annual without discount = RUB 56,463.67 × 12 = RUB 677,564.04; annual with 3% 12‑month prepayment discount ≈ RUB 657,237.12.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Fees are published as monthly tariffs; the school documents show monthly billing lines and note that tuition for school holidays (autumn, winter, spring and May holidays) is calculated in proportion to the number of days the child actually attends during those periods. A 12‑month prepayment discount (3%) and a 5% referral/new‑child introduction discount are described in the tariff notes. Multi‑child discounted tariff columns are provided (two‑child and three‑plus child rates). Specific invoice dates, installment deadlines and formal payment schedule items are set out in the school's service agreements/contract for the applicable period.

Boarding / accommodation fees
- The school's published fee documents and admission policy present the school as full‑time (day) provision; published tariff documents and the service descriptions focus on supervision/care, preschool and educational services and on transport — there are no separate published monthly boarding (overnight accommodation) tariff lines in the fee schedules examined. If a boarding or internat option is required, the contract templates govern additional services; however, no explicit boarding monthly rate is published in the fee documents reviewed.

Transport (monthly)
- Transport services are charged per route on a monthly basis. Representative published monthly amounts (effective dates shown on the tariff document):
- Route: Naberezhnye Chelny – International School (route 1): excl. VAT RUB 7,188.61; including VAT (20%) RUB 8,626.33 per child per month.
- Other routes published as example: excl. VAT RUB 3,594.31; including VAT RUB 4,313.17 per child per month (per route entry in the tariff sheet).
- Transport tariffs include reduced per‑child figures when two or more children from the same family are enrolled (document shows columns for one child, two children, three+).

Additional paid services and extracurriculars
- Additional educational services and clubs are charged separately by service. Example item published: design‑thinking additional educational service (in individual form) — cost excl. VAT RUB 1,370.00 per academic hour (40 minutes). The school provides separate published price lists for other additional services.

Other costs (examples and notes)
- The preschool tariff documents break down the monthly charge into supervision & care and education components (each shown separately in the tariff tables). The documents also show transport and other additional‑service price lists as separate monthly or per‑unit charges. The fee schedules show explicit differentials for families with two children and with three or more children.

Discounts and referrals
- A 12‑month prepayment discount of 3% is offered for a 12‑month prepayment. A 5% monthly referral discount for bringing in a new child is described in tariff notes and examples; the documents explain how the referral discount is calculated and combined with other discounts. Multi‑child tariffs (two children / three+ children) are published.

Refunds and cancellation / prorating
- Tuition for school holidays is calculated proportionally to the number of days the child actually stays at school (prorating for holiday periods). Contractual terms governing cancellation, refunds and other enforcement clauses are set out in the school's standard service agreements (contract templates) and apply to individual enrollments. The tariff notes also explain how discounts are handled if attendance is within limited months. Specific refund deadlines, notice periods and any non‑refundable components are described in the contract documents.

Fee payment options
- The published fee schedules and the service agreement templates state invoicing and contractual payment obligations but do not list a standardized public menu of payment methods (for example: explicit bank account / SWIFT details, card‑payment portal or third‑party payment processors are not shown directly on the tariff pages reviewed). The contract templates and school administration set the invoice and payment terms for each enrolment. Parents should follow the payment instructions provided in the enrolment contract and invoices.

Key practical points for parents (factual checklist)
- There is no registration/application fee.
- Monthly tuition examples (including VAT where published) commonly shown in the fee tables: single‑child monthly including VAT RUB 56,463.67 for the cohorts displayed.
- Transport, additional lessons and preschool supervision/care are charged separately and shown as monthly or per‑unit charges in the published price lists.
- A 3% discount is available for a 12‑month prepayment; a 5% referral discount is described in the tariff notes; multi‑child reduced tariff columns are published. Tuition for holiday periods is prorated.

Documents and effective dates noted in the published tariff files
- The school's published tariff documents and contract templates show effective dates on the respective price lists (examples: tariff sheets effective from 01.09.2023 and 01.09.2024; one additional‑service price list effective from 01.11.2024). Individual enrolment contracts state the precise service period for each child.
