Source ↗2026/27 annual school contribution paid after 29 May 2026, as listed in the current school Finance Guide. The lower by-29-May tariff is a separate expired early-payment condition. Exams are extra for MYP 4–5 and Diploma 1–2. Application/registration charges, deposit and separately invoiced compulsory trips are outside these contributions. VAT scope is not stated.
The 2026/27 Finance Guide lists €13,960 for Early Childhood 1–2 under annual payment after 29 May 2026. The earlier €12,690 price required payment by 29 May 2026; the website’s short table omits that condition. Annual programme contributions range to €29,170 for Diploma 1–2, with exams extra in MYP 4–5 and Diploma. Entry fees, a maintained deposit and compulsory trips have separate terms; the €1,700 seat reservation is already part of the contribution. VAT scope is not stated.

Annual contributions and payment conditions
The 2026/27 Finance Guide lists annual contributions of €13,960–€29,170 for payment after 29 May 2026, depending on programme. Its lower €12,690–€26,510 column applies to payment by 29 May 2026, a deadline that has passed. The website’s short table repeats those lower amounts without the deadline, so families should use the full guide and obtain a current invoice for their payment arrangement. This is a distinction between payment conditions within one academic year, not evidence of a year-on-year fee increase. MYP 4–5 and Diploma examination fees are excluded. Neither source says whether VAT is included; ask the school.
Source ↗ · checked
Entry charges, deposit and seat reservation
New applicants pay a one-time, non-refundable €450 application fee within three working days of the invoice; assessment is scheduled after full payment. After an offer, the one-time, non-refundable €1,200 registration fee and €1,000 school deposit are payable within eight days of their invoices. The deposit must retain a minimum €1,000 balance during enrolment and can be used against damage or unpaid amounts; this guide does not specify a refund entitlement. The annual €1,700 seat reservation is non-refundable but forms part of the contribution, so it must not be added to annual tuition a second time. On the termly plan it is deducted from Term 3. The guide’s stated place-guarantee deadline of 29 May 2026 has passed and is not a promise of current availability.
Source ↗ · checked
Meals, trips and individual support
Primary meals and associated food costs are included. Secondary lunch is optional, with prices supplied separately. Every class takes part in a compulsory residential trip that is invoiced separately; the guide does not state the amount. SEN support is fee-based after individual assessment, with no amount supplied. EAL is compulsory for pupils assessed as needing it, but the guide does not state whether a separate EAL charge applies. A missing amount is not a zero-cost service.
Source ↗ · checked
The separate termly payment option
Families may instead pay in three termly instalments. The school publishes separate by-deadline and after-deadline figures: Term 1 uses 29 May 2026, Term 2 uses 27 November 2026 and Term 3 uses 28 February 2027. These instalments are a distinct payment option and should not be mixed with the annual-payment tariff. The guide describes a 5% Term 3 discount when all fees are paid fully and on time; no additional discount is applied to the displayed figures here. A second child receives a 2% sibling discount, a third 3%, a fourth 4%, and so on. Eligibility and the invoice should be confirmed with the school. Payments are in EUR, bank charges remain with the payer, and cash incurs a 1% surcharge.
