Fees
Application fees
- There is no application or admission fee to join IES Tyresö. You register for a place in the school queue via the SchoolSoft queue system (log in with BankID or use the alternative application form), and no payment is required to apply.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group)
- There are no tuition fees for any year group at IES Tyresö. The school is a day school for students in years 4–9 and education is provided without charge; therefore the tuition cost is SEK 0 per term and SEK 0 per academic year for all year groups the school serves.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No billing schedule or payment terms apply for tuition because the school does not charge tuition. Any mandatory, recurring invoicing for tuition does not apply.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. IES Tyresö operates as a day school (students attend during the school day; the school does not provide boarding accommodation).

Other costs or fees (uniform, lunches, trips, materials, extracurriculars)
- School lunch is provided free of charge.
- There is no system-wide school uniform requirement; the school enforces a dress code rather than a mandatory uniform. Any optional purchases for specific activities (for example a voluntary team kit or optional activity clothing) would be handled locally by the school or parent groups, not as a compulsory tuition charge.
- Optional items or one-off charges for voluntary activities, school trips, or certain extracurriculars may occur at the school level; such optional costs are not part of tuition and are arranged and billed separately when applicable. (No compulsory fees for tuition apply.)

Refund information
- Refund rules for tuition are not applicable because no tuition or application fees are charged. Refund treatment for any optional, paid activities (for example a paid voluntary trip) would follow the school's local arrangements for that activity.

Fee payment options
- No tuition or application payments are required, so fee payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, etc.) are not required for attending the school. Any voluntary or activity-specific payments (if and when they arise) are managed locally by the school or activity organiser and will specify accepted payment methods at that time.
