Fees

Overview
The British International School, Ukraine (Kyiv) does not publish numeric fee amounts directly on its public pages. The school issues a formal fee schedule and individual invoices that set application/registration charges, tuition by year group, billing dates and the school's payment terms; that fee schedule is provided to families (the school's enrolment pages link to a secured fee schedule file).

Application / registration fee
- The specific application or registration fee amount is not published on the school's public pages. The school's formal fee schedule and the invoice issued by the Finance Office record any application/registration charge and whether it is refundable.

Tuition fees by year group (per term and per year)
- Per-term and per-year tuition figures for each year group (Early Years / Primary / Secondary / Sixth Form) are contained in the school's official fee schedule; those numeric values are not displayed in the public web pages and are supplied to parents via the school's fee schedule and invoices. The school states that tuition depends on the child's Year and that detailed current prices and any available discounts are given in the school's fee document.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing dates, payment deadlines, instalment options, any early-payment discounts and penalties for late payment are specified on the school's invoices and in the formal fee schedule. The school issues term/invoice documentation that defines the exact payment terms for the year. The fee schedule available to families sets out the billing schedule and payment conditions.

Boarding fees
- The school operates as day campuses (Kyiv and Dnipro) and no boarding provision or boarding fee schedule is published for the Kyiv campus; boarding fees are therefore not applicable.

Other costs and additional charges
- The school's fee schedule and invoices set out which items are included in tuition and which are charged separately. Items commonly charged separately (when applicable) include uniforms, lunches and catering, external examination fees (IGCSE/IB/A‑Level), optional extracurricular activities and school trips, learning-support or intensive EAL where required, and school transport. Specific amounts for these items are not published on the public pages and appear in the official fee schedule and invoices.

Refunds and withdrawals
- The school's terms for refunds, deposits and withdrawal notice periods are defined in its fee schedule and the invoice/contract provided at admission. Specific refund conditions and any refundable deposits are set out in the school's fee documentation and on the invoice. Those refund terms are not published as discrete numeric examples on the public pages.

Accepted payment methods and options
- Accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, card payment details and the invoicing currency) are specified on the invoice and in the school's finance documentation supplied to families. The public pages do not list numeric banking details or an exhaustive list of accepted card types; the Finance Office provides the definitive payment instructions on the invoice.

Practical note for parents
- All specific monetary amounts (application fee, per-term and annual tuition by Year group, optional-service charges, payment deadlines, refund conditions and accepted payment channels) are set out in the school's official fee schedule and on the invoices the Finance Office issues to families. The school's enrolment pages link to the current fee document used for family communications.

Admissions

1. Personal tour and registration: Families are invited to BISU for a personal tour, and registration for the tour is available. The visit provides an opportunity to meet BISU leadership and international educators and to understand BISU's bilingual environment and Cambridge Pathway offerings. This step helps families assess fit with BISU before applying. 2. 3–5 years admission: For children aged 3 to 5, all applicants are invited to BISU for an interview. They can be admitted regardless of English proficiency. The interview assesses readiness for BISU's early years program and the bilingual learning environment. 3. 6–10 years admission: For children aged 6 to 10, English must be sufficient to effectively absorb the curriculum. This ensures participation in BISU's English-language learning framework. The English proficiency requirement supports access to BISU's Cambridge Pathway and Ukrainian curriculum where applicable. 4. 11–17 years admission: For students aged 11 to 17 (grades 7–13), admission requires an official interview and an English-language examination. The interview evaluates suitability for BISU's secondary programme, and the English exam measures proficiency to engage with the English-language curriculum. This process aligns with BISU's dual British and Ukrainian educational offerings.
