- The school does not publish a public schedule of annual or per‑term tuition fees for the main programmes (My Baby 0–3, My Child 3–6, My Kid 6–10) in the materials available for the current academic year. No definitive per‑term or per‑year tuition amounts for those year groups are listed in the school's publicly posted documents.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Registration is formalized with the issuance and payment of an initial invoice at the point of enrolment.
- For the extraschool service (My Extra School) the service contract and regulation govern fees; extra hours are billed and charged on the following month's invoice. Fees for extraschool are fixed (except for specified staff concessions) and are invoiced according to the service regulation signed at enrolment.
Boarding fees
- My School Ticino operates as a day programme for ages 0–10 (open all year, daily hours indicated as 7:00–19:00). No boarding provision or boarding fees are published for this school.

Refunds and cancellation (published policy for extraschool)
- The extraschool contract requires written notice of cancellation; during the ordinary period a one‑month written notice is required. The parent is required to pay the full month in which notice is given and the month of termination; during school holiday periods the family must pay for the first week even if the child does not attend. These terms set specific limits on refunds for the extraschool service.
Fee payment options (cards, bank transfer, etc.)
- Publicly posted documents for the current academic year do not list specific accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit card, direct debit). The school's enrolment step references payment of the first invoice at registration, and the extraschool regulation describes invoicing and monthly charging, but the available published materials do not specify the full set of accepted payment channels.
Summary of what is published vs what is not published
- Published and itemised: detailed pricing and policy materials are publicly available for the My Extra School service (meals, snacks, extra hours, after‑school monthly subscriptions, weekly subscription bands, example course fees, sibling/staff concessions, and cancellation rules).
- Not published in the publicly posted materials: a full, itemised schedule of the school's main tuition fees by year group (per term and per year) and a separate, explicit application fee amount are not available in the school's publicly posted documents for the current academic year. No boarding fees apply because the school is a day programme. Payment‑method specifics are not listed in the published materials.
If you need these missing tuition figures (application fee, tuition per year/term, payment channels) for a database entry, the available published materials show the items above for extraschool and the enrollment procedure, but a publicly posted tuition schedule and payment‑method list were not found among the school's current public documents.
My School Ticino is a bilingual Italian/English Montessori-inspired school for ages 0 to 10, with campuses in Castel San Pietro and Lugano. The curriculum combines the Montessori method, the Reggio Emilia approach with the 100 languages of the child, and Outdoor Education to create a hands-on, student-centered learning environment. From day one, children learn in Italian and English in a bilingual immersion that makes language learning natural in daily life. The My Kid 6-10 Primary program features language laboratories (English from the first year and French from Year 3) and a STEM classroom for science, technology, robotics and coding, aligned with the Canton Ticino Study Plan to blend public-school objectives with personalized, experiential learning. The school operates year-round, offers extended-day care, an in-house kitchen with Fourchette Verte menus, and a daily shuttle service. Distinctive elements include Creative Atelier and Closlieu-inspired arts spaces, outdoor woodland learning, and My Languages language programs.
