When a legal guardian submits a notice of termination, the termination takes effect on the last day of the third month after the notice is received.

Boarding fees - Not applicable. Bladins International School of Malmö operates as a day school for students (ages indicated 6–16) and does not provide boarding facilities; therefore no boarding fees apply.

Refund information - The enrolment fee (SEK 20,000) is non-refundable.
