Per‑term and per‑year equivalents (calculated example)
- The school publishes tuition as a monthly amount. The following per‑term and per‑year figures are calculated examples based on a 10‑month billing period (September–June) and a three‑term academic year; these per‑term and per‑year figures are derived from the school's published monthly fees by simple arithmetic and are shown here for budgeting purposes only. (This calculation method uses the typical Spanish school-year rhythm of classes running from September to June.)
- Pre‑Nursery / EYFS / Primary (published EUR 845 per month):
- Example annual (calculated) = EUR 845 × 10 = EUR 8,450 per year.
- Example per term (calculated) = EUR 8,450 ÷ 3 = EUR 2,816.67 per term.
- Secondary (published EUR 910 per month):
- Example annual (calculated) = EUR 910 × 10 = EUR 9,100 per year.
- Example per term (calculated) = EUR 9,100 ÷ 3 = EUR 3,033.33 per term.
- Swimming (Primary) (published EUR 38 per month):
- Example annual (calculated) = EUR 38 × 10 = EUR 380 per year.
- Example per term (calculated) = EUR 380 ÷ 3 = EUR 126.67 per term.
