Other costs and extras
- Sports activities, outings, museum/theatre visits and certain extracurricular activities are charged in addition to tuition.
- No uniform fee is listed among the standard fees. Additional optional services (after‑school activities and external therapist consultations) are available on site and are separate from tuition; such services are charged in addition where applicable.

Refund and withdrawal penalties
- The CHF 250 enrolment fee is non‑refundable if the child's enrolment is cancelled after the school's confirmation of enrolment.
- Withdrawal penalties:
- Withdrawal after Feb 1 (concerning the following school year): re‑enrolment fee CHF 250 plus a CHF 4,000 penalty are due.
- Withdrawal after Apr 30 (concerning the following school year): tuition fees for the first trimester of the following year and the enrolment fee are due.
- Withdrawal after the start of the school year (including force majeure): the current trimester is due, plus the following trimester.
- Exclusion from school does not entitle parents to reimbursement of tuition already paid. In case of temporary school closure for epidemic/pandemic or similar major events, distance teaching may be offered and certain costs (for example meals) may be refunded, but tuition fees are excluded from such reimbursements.

Fee payment options
- The school specifies payment by bank transfer to the school account (IBAN/account CH17 0024 0240 7181 7502 V — Montessori Rive Gauche SA) for the guarantee and routine payments; a special agreement can be established if a third party (employer or institution) will pay all or part of the fees.

Montessori Rive Gauche is a private Montessori school in Collonge-Bellerive / Vésenaz, Geneva, founded in 2011. It serves children from ages 3 to 12 in mixed-age classrooms (3–6, 6–9, 9–12). The school blends the AMI Montessori approach with the Plan d'Études Romand (PER 3P–8P Harmos) and uses AMI-trained teachers. AMI Montessori-trained teachers are native speakers in French or English, with German taught from age six. Instruction is bilingual in French and English, and German starts at age six. There are five classrooms and administration spread across four houses set in a nearly 3,000 m2 garden that is fully fenced for safe outdoor exploration. The curriculum covers practical life, sensory, language, mathematics, and cultural studies, supported by on-site therapists (psychologist and occupational therapist). Eco-Schools certification has been held since 2022. Extra-curriculars include arts, robotics, music, mindfulness, and sports; after-school care is available. MMUN in Rome offers global citizenship opportunities.
