Boarding / accommodation - On‑campus boarding is not presented as a standard fee item on the school's published fees page. Independent sources indicate that international students are commonly placed in host‑family (homestay) programmes or local accommodation arrangements rather than traditional school boarding houses; fees for homestays / accommodation are handled separately and vary by arrangement and provider. No fixed on‑campus boarding fee is published in the main fee schedule. Billing schedule and payment terms (how fees are charged in the school year) - The school publishes a monthly fee for each stage. Annual tuition figures are consistent with those monthly rates multiplied by ten (that is, the published monthly amount × 10 = commonly quoted annual tuition for the academic year). From those published figures, per‑term and per‑year totals above are calculated on that basis. This indicates a school billing structure that is presented in monthly terms but commonly expressed as a ten‑month academic total and apportioned into three school terms for budgeting. Refund and cancellation - A specific public refund / cancellation schedule (for example: whether the one‑off enrolment fee is refundable, refund rules for mid‑term withdrawal, or administrative cancellation charges) is not clearly published on the school's main fees summary. Independent school listings cite that enrolment and administrative charges are commonly non‑refundable or subject to administrative fees at comparable schools; however, the school's detailed refund/cancellation terms and any statutory rights under Spanish consumer law or education regulations are not reproduced in the main fee summary. Fee payment options (methods accepted) - The school's public fee summary page lists amounts and frequency but does not show a detailed list of accepted payment instruments (for example, specific bank account / IBAN, direct debit, or card processors) in the headline fee summary. Typical payment methods used by international schools include bank transfer and card payment; the school's admissions or finance office supplies exact payment instructions and options on request. Summary (what is contained in the public fee schedule and what remains by arrangement) - The school publishes clear monthly fees by stage, a one‑off enrolment fee (EUR 900), an annual technological resources charge (EUR 446), and a published Valencia city transport rate (EUR 175 monthly). Published monthly amounts convert to the annual and per‑term totals shown above when multiplied by ten and apportioned into three terms. Dining is listed as included from Nursery & Reception upward. - Items that are commonly charged by schools but are not fixed on the headline fees page (such as uniform, deposits, medical insurance, examination entry charges, or homestay/boarding costs) appear in various independent listings with approximate amounts; those items are generally invoiced separately or handled through admissions/finance arrangements. Exact values, payment instructions, and the school's formal refund/cancellation conditions are not reproduced in the headline fee summary and are handled through the school's admissions/finance documentation.

Admissions	Admissions 1. Fill our contact form or call (+34) 96 132 40 40, Monday to Friday 09:00 am to 05:00 pm. If availability exists, you can request a visit to learn about the Educational Project and view the facilities. This begins the admissions process. 2. If there is availability, request a visit where we will inform you about our Educational Project and show you our facilities. The visit provides information about the school's educational approach and environment. It is an opportunity to ask questions and assess fit. The visit is arranged after the initial inquiry. 3. After receiving the admission request, we will arrange different level tests according to the educational stage you're applying to (Primary and Secondary). For Secondary entries, all prospective pupils undertake a personal interview and English level assessment with the Secondary Head Teacher to ensure they can access the curriculum; for other stages, tests assess literacy and numeracy appropriate to the level. A copy of the pupil's most recent school report is requested during the process. The results of the assessment, the interview and the reports help determine eligibility. 4. Once the tests have been passed and the required documentation has been received, enrolment will take place. If there is no space available in the child's class, the pupil will be placed on a waiting list and parents will be contacted when a place becomes available. Enrolment requires payment of the Enrolment Fee of 925€, which is non-refundable. Start dates are the first day of term or at any stage during the academic year, subject to availability.
