Per‑term equivalents and invoicing structure

- Contributions (tuition) are established and charged for the full school year. Payment is due for the full school year (see Billing schedule). If you require a per‑term or per‑semester breakdown for internal budgeting, divide the annual amount by the number of terms your household uses; the school issues the charge as an annual contribution.

One‑off and recurring additional fees

- Extracurricular activities (AGs): EUR 200 per semester (ice hockey exceptions noted separately).

- Deposits (refundable): First child EUR 1,500; second child EUR 1,000; each additional child EUR 500. The deposit secures claims of the school and must be paid within ten working days after the school contract takes effect. The school may draw on the deposit for outstanding claims and requires prompt replenishment if used. The deposit may be subject to modest interest adjustments as described in the contract.

- Uniforms: No separate uniform fee or uniform sales are listed among the standard mandatory fees in the tariff. (No annual uniform charge is included in the tariff/fee schedule.)

- Meals, special courses, trips and sport‑specific costs: These are handled as separate charges where applicable; AG and Hort pricing is listed above and some sport programs (e.g., ice hockey) may carry different fees.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Annual billing and due date: Contributions for the school year are payable for the full school year and must be received by the school no later than 1 September of the respective school year.

- Late start or mid‑year admission: If schooling begins on or before 31 October, full contributions apply and payment is due by the last working day before the child's start date. If schooling begins after 31 October, contributions are reduced proportionally: the reduction equals the number of months of attendance (counting each started month as a full month) multiplied by one‑tenth of the annual contribution; payment of the reduced contribution is due by the last working day before the child's start date.

- Accepted payment methods and currencies: Payments are accepted by bank transfer only. Payments may be made in EUR or in RUB; RUB payments are converted at the Central Bank of the Russian Federation daily rate. Payers bear any bank charges. The school provides bank account details for transfers in EUR and in RUB (accounts with Commerzbank and AO UniCredit Bank are listed).

- Consequences of late payment: Late payments incur interest of 0.03% per day. Reminder fees are EUR 10 for the first reminder, EUR 20 for the second, and EUR 30 for the third and subsequent reminders. The school may suspend education services without notice if outstanding amounts exceed EUR 1,000 and 30 days; the school may terminate the contract without notice if outstanding amounts exceed EUR 1,000 and 60 days. These actions do not reduce the obligation to pay the full contributions.

Refunds and reductions on contract termination

- Enrollment fee refund rule: The application/enrollment fee is not refunded if the application is declined, except when the school declines for capacity reasons.

- Refund / reduction schedule on parent termination (effective amounts after notice): When a parent terminates the school contract, the payable contribution is reduced according to the date the termination takes effect as follows:
- Effective 30 September — contribution reduced to two‑tenths (2/10) of the annual contribution.
- Effective 31 October — contribution reduced to three‑tenths (3/10).
- Effective 30 November — contribution reduced to four‑tenths (4/10).
- Effective 31 December — contribution reduced to five‑tenths (5/10).
- Effective 31 January — contribution reduced to six‑tenths (6/10).
- Effective 28 or 29 February — contribution reduced to seven‑tenths (7/10).
- Effective 31 March — contribution reduced to eight‑tenths (8/10).
- Effective 30 April — contribution reduced to nine‑tenths (9/10).
- Effective 31 May or later — no reduction (full contribution remains payable).

- Deposit refund: The refundable deposit is returned in accordance with contractual provisions after settlement of any claims; the contract permits interest adjustments as described.
