Registration and re-enrolment fees
| New student or return after absence of at least one year | €1,500 |
|---|---|
| Returning student, re-registration for the next school year | €350 |
The 2026/27 PDF distinguishes a new application or return after at least one year from ordinary annual re-registration. The applicable registration amount is separate from tuition and the credited down payment. Registration is non-refundable; the new-student fee is not transferable to a future school year. Ask the school whether VAT is included.
Source ↗ · checked
Tuition down payment
| Down payment credited against tuition | €2,000 |
|---|
Required in addition to the applicable registration fee, within ten days of the acceptance letter to secure enrolment. Credited towards tuition, rather than added a second time to the annual tuition total. Under the stated contract terms it is non-refundable after that ten-day period and not transferable to future school years. Ask the school whether VAT is included.

Capital assessment cost
| Annual capital assessment, eligible first or second year | €6,600 |
|---|
For new students from Pre-Primary upwards. For 2026/27, €6,600 applies to eligible pupils in their first or second year; future-year rates are not established here. The fee is non-refundable. Prior capital payments are credited when a pupil returns after an absence of at least one year. A departing pupil attending 65 school days or fewer pays half that year’s capital fee. Ask the school whether VAT is included.

Flexible bus ticket cost
| One flexible bus ride | €10 |

For occasional bus users: at most one flexible ticket per school week, subject to available space. This is an alternative occasional-use quote, not an extra annual transport charge. The transport schedule states that its fees include 7% VAT.

New-student charges and payment
Published charges include €1,500 new-student registration and a €6,600 capital assessment in each of the first two years from Pre-Primary. The schedule also lists a combined registration and down-payment amount; ask how the deposit is credited rather than adding it twice. A tuition-reduction programme is available from Grade 1 for eligible families.

Application and budget details
Private-paying families can request an alternative payment schedule in writing each school year. The published options include a 55% payment followed by 45% in January with a €100 charge per child, or monthly payments with a 3% surcharge on the outstanding balance. A tuition-reduction programme is available for qualifying families from Grade 1. Corporate and diplomatic partners have a separate schedule, so families should confirm which tariff applies before comparing costs.

Fee payments and extra cost scope
The 2026/27 PDF gives annual tuition and treats the €2,000 down payment as a credit against it. The web page’s €3,500 new-student registration and down-payment line combines €1,500 registration with that €2,000 advance; it is not a third fee. Extra support or therapy beyond normal provision is charged separately. Lunches, after-school care, external examinations and other personal items can cost extra; Grades 5–11 grade-level trips are included. Grades 6 and above require a personal laptop.
Source ↗ · checked
Fee changes for arrival, departure and transport
The 2026/27 schedule prorates annual tuition and transport using the official admission or leaving date; families must give written leaving notice at least three weeks ahead. Reserving a place during a leave of absence costs 50% of tuition for the absence period. Bus use is not reimbursed merely because a pupil cannot use the service. Pupils through Grade 1 may request one-way service at half cost. The third-child-onwards transport reduction of 25% required an application by 1 July 2026; it is not presented as a new offer still open in November.

Payment dates and the individual invoice
The dated 2026/27 PDF sets 1 July 2026 for annual tuition, transport and capital payment, while the fee web page also refers to the first school day. Mid-year entrants should use the communicated invoice due date. Confirm the school-approved payment plan and due date on the individual invoice; instalment percentages are portions of the same fee, not further tuition.
