Application fees
- No application, registration or enrollment fee amounts are published publicly by the school for the current academic year (2025–2026). Parents should note that the school accepts enquiries through its admissions channels but does not list any fixed public application fees.
Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school does not publish a public fee schedule that itemises tuition by year group or per term for the current academic year. No definitive per-term or per-year numeric tuition figures are publicly available.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- There is no publicly available, itemised billing schedule or set of payment terms (for example, number of instalments, termly invoicing dates, or late-payment penalties) published by the school. Specific billing cycles and payment deadlines are provided to families through the school's admissions and finance offices rather than in a public schedule.
Boarding fees (where applicable)
- Boarding is available at the school (male and female boarding houses operate on campus), but boarding fee amounts (weekly, full-board, or termly rates) are not published publicly. Details about guardianship and international boarding arrangements are published, however specific boarding price schedules are not publicly posted.
Other costs or fees (uniform, meals, activities, exams, transport, materials)
- The school lists extra-curricular activities and student services but does not publish a consolidated public list of the ancillary charges tied to uniforms, meals, transport, exam fees, school trips, materials, or extra-curricular activities with fixed prices for the current academic year. Historically the school has offered priced extra-curricular activities in separate activity brochures, but current-year consolidated amounts are not publicly posted.
Refund information
- No publicly posted refund policy for tuition, boarding or other fees is available on the school's public pages. Terms relating to refunds, cancellations or withdrawals are handled through the school's contractual enrolment and legal terms provided to families at admission rather than as a published public schedule.
Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / other)
- The school does not publish a public list of accepted payment methods. Specific accepted payment methods (for example bank transfer, direct debit/SEPA, credit/debit card) and instructions are issued directly to enrolled families with their invoices.
Summary of search and availability (brief):
- I checked the school's public pages and third‑party international school listings for up-to-date fee schedules for the current academic year. The school does not publish an itemised public fee schedule showing application fees, tuition by year group (per term or per year), boarding rates, billing cycles, refund terms or accepted payment methods. Boarding and extra-curricular programmes are confirmed as available, but numeric fee details are not posted publicly. For families this means there are no publicly available numeric figures to present for the current academic year.
Students come from over 40 nationalities.
