Single meals may be purchased as tickets at €9 each. Reduced rates for siblings apply.

- Scuola dell'Infanzia paritaria (Maria Montessori): example published amounts for a recent year were: annual tuition (retta scolastica) €3,350, presented as 10 monthly instalments of €335; mensa annual €1,600 (10 monthly instalments of €160). The school publishes a separate fee schedule and requires payment of the appropriate enrolment fee at acceptance. These amounts are listed in the school's current enrolment documentation.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Primary and Middle school contributions and mensa fees are generally split into 9 monthly payments (September through May). Liceo contribution is charged in three termly instalments. Scuola dell'Infanzia tuition and mensa have historically been presented on a 10-month basis. Specific payment deadlines and the month-by-month billing schedule are set by the school each academic year.

- Some optional services (e.g., doposcuola) are charged per use or per month: doposcuola ticket €15 per day or €30 per month is indicated as the standard example. Extra-curricular activities, vigilanza/early‑entry and AMPA-managed services may carry separate fees. Transport is provided by private operators and is billed separately.

Boarding / residential provision

- The institute operates as a day school; no boarding or residential accommodation is provided and no boarding fees apply.

Other costs and recurring extras

- Mensa (lunch): monthly quotas as stated above depend on school level and number of days per week chosen. Single-meal tickets available (example €9 each for middle school).

- School trips and didactic outings: nominal annual contributions are charged (example: Scuola dell'Infanzia contributo annuale per uscite didattiche €80). Primary and other orders may request a small yearly contribution or discretionary visit funds included in the enrollment contribution.

- Optional extracurricular activities (languages, sports, music, etc.) are offered, usually at additional cost and organised either by the school's parents association (AMPA) or external providers; fees vary by activity. Transport (school bus) is a private service with separate charges.

- Uniform: no mandatory school uniform fee is indicated in the institute's published fee documents and programmes; no dedicated uniform charge is listed in the formal fee schedules. (Optional activity dress-code or event-specific garments may be arranged locally if required.)

Refunds and cancellation

- The enrolment/registration fee is non‑refundable in case of family withdrawal after acceptance; the school's enrolment documentation and circulars explicitly state that the registration/contributo is not returned if the family renounces attendance. Other refunds (for mensa, transport or optional services) depend on the contract terms of the specific service and the school's administrative rules.

How fees are paid (payment methods and accounts)

- Standard payment channels shown in the institute's administrative documents are bank transfer to the school's designated BBVA accounts and SEPA direct debit (mandate), with full IBAN/BIC details provided for family payments and for contribution collection. SEPA direct‑debit mandates are used where families opt for domiciliation. No public reference to credit‑card payment acceptance is listed in the school's fee and payment documents; payments are organised by bank transfer/SEPA or as indicated in enrolment communications.

Administrative and sibling/merit reductions

- The institute's published rules provide for reduced contribution levels for families with more than one child enrolled and for merit‑based reductions at certain levels (details, eligibility criteria and quantified discounts are set by the school and indicated in the annual administrative circulars). Instalment counts and exact amounts (monthly/trimestral schedules) are specified year‑by‑year in the school's enrolment and PTOF documents.
