Billing schedule and payment terms

- Annual tuition is invoiced as a 10‑month commitment; standard billing is spread over 10 monthly instalments. Many optional services are billed per quarter or as single payments as indicated above.

- Registration is confirmed when the signed enrolment contract and the required payments are received; enrolment requires payment of the registration fee and the first month's school fees at registration.

- A 2% discount on tuition applies for biannual or annual payments.

- The school treats the date on which payment is received in the school's bank account as the official payment date. In case of late payment, reminder fees apply: CHF 20 for the second reminder (15 days after the due date) and CHF 50 for the final notice (30 days after the due date). Continued non‑payment may lead to legal recovery procedures and refusal of class entry.

Boarding

- The school does not list any boarding provision or boarding fees; boarding fees are therefore not applicable.

Other costs

- Late pickup charges: CHF 10 per incident (from 5 minutes late), CHF 20 (from 15 minutes), CHF 30 (from 30 minutes).

- Administrative or penalty fees may apply in the event of late payment or contract breaches as specified in the general conditions.

Refunds and cancellation penalties

- Written notification is required for any withdrawal or cancellation. Cancellation charges for the following school year are:
- Withdrawal up to March 31: only the enrolment fee is due.
- Withdrawal between April 1 and May 31: enrolment fee plus 10% of annual tuition is due.
- Withdrawal between June 1 and June 30: enrolment fee plus 20% of annual tuition is due.
- Withdrawal from July 1 up to the day before the start of the school year: enrolment fee plus 30% of annual tuition is due.
- Withdrawal from the start of the school year: enrolment fee, completed/started months and 30% of annual tuition are due.

- Exceptions to the annual financial commitment and penalty fees may be made for death of the pupil's legal guardian or long‑term illness resulting in study suspension. Expulsion for serious reasons results in 30% of annual tuition being charged in addition to months already completed or started.

Fee payment options

- The school records the receipt date of payments on its bank account as the official payment date; payment by bank transfer to the school account is the documented method for establishing receipt. Other payment methods are not detailed in the published conditions.

Notes on billing frequency used above

- When a fee is stated as “payable over 10 months” the monthly instalment used above is the annual fee divided by 10.

La Découverte School at Campus Mies offers a private bilingual French–English education for children aged 3 to 12. The Mies campus uses a project-based, socio-constructivist approach, organizing learning around questions and problems that span disciplines. Weekly class councils and a monthly Grand Council Meeting involve students in decision-making, while philosophy sessions nurture critical thinking, listening, and debate. Outdoor learning happens daily, in parks or forests, in all weather, to foster resilience and environmental understanding. An open-space environment supports autonomous workshops and cross-age collaboration, and theatre activities develop oral expression and stage presence. The school provides after-school care and on-site meals guided by a healthy, sustainable menu charter. With a history dating to the early 1990s, La Découverte emphasizes active inquiry and a personalised, family learning environment. Extracurriculars include Capoeira, Art, Robotics, and Football, plus holiday camps and arts-based after-school options. These elements join to support curious, confident learners daily worldwide.
