Fees
Application fees

- The school does not charge an application fee or require a payment to join the admissions queue or to apply for a place.

Tuition fees (by year group / per term)

- There are no tuition fees for attendance in förskoleklass (preparatory year) through grade 9; the school does not levy a per-term or per-year tuition charge for these year groups.

Billing schedule and payment terms (where charges apply)

- The school does not issue tuition invoices because compulsory schooling is provided without tuition. For chargeable services that are subject to municipal rules (for example, a place in fritidshem/after-school care), billing is handled on a monthly invoice basis. Parents receive a monthly invoice for the current month; payment is due by the last banking day of the month. If a child starts mid-month the monthly fee is pro rata for the days the place was in effect. Late payment may incur reminders and collection procedures. Uppsägning (termination) of a fritidsplats carries a 30‑day notice period counted from when the termination is received and the fee is charged for the notice period.

Boarding fees

- The school operates as a day school and does not offer boarding facilities; therefore there are no boarding fees.

Other costs or fees (uniform, trips, materials, devices)

- Instruction, core teaching and basic schooling are provided without mandatory fees. Small, occasional costs for voluntary activities (such as entrance fees for an excursion, incidental transport costs or rental of equipment for a voluntary activity) may occur but these must be voluntary and limited in scope; the school may not require pupils or parents to enter into economic obligations (for example mandatory purchase or binding payment agreements). There is no mandatory uniform fee listed for the school. Any minor, occasional costs are treated separately from tuition and follow the rules that apply to voluntary charges.

Refund information

- Because there is no tuition to be paid for compulsory schooling, tuition refunds are not applicable. For municipality‑charged services such as fritids, normal billing and termination rules apply (30‑day notice; fees charged for the notice period; invoicing adjustments are made by the billing authority). Any over‑ or under‑payments for billed services are handled through the invoicing and correction procedures described by the billing authority.

Fee payment options

- For services that generate invoices (for example municipal billing for fritids/preschool places), invoices are issued monthly and can be received and paid as e‑faktura via internet bank; standard invoice payment channels used by the municipality (paper invoice, e‑invoice and bank transfer) are available. For invoicing to the Dibber group or for supplier/invoice handling, Dibber provides centralized invoice contact details for invoice processing. If any chargeable service is invoiced, the billed invoice will state the accepted payment methods and payment details.

Summary statement

- There are no application or tuition fees for attendance in the school's F–9 provision. Chargeable items are limited to occasional, voluntary costs or to services governed and invoiced under municipal rules (for example fritids/preschool fees), which follow a monthly billing cycle and standard municipal payment procedures.
