Rates for the 2026-2027 academic year are between 1,560€ and 2,350€ per month per child (or 15,600€ to 23,500€ per year) since the school is private and non-profit and receives no state subsidies.

The number of spots per rate band is limited to maintain financial stability, and rate bands are determined during enrollment. Fee payments can be made monthly over 10 months (September to June) or in one full payment with a 5% discount if paid before 31 July. A sibling discount of 5% applies to the enrollment of the second child, and 10% for every additional child. Additional costs include 100€ per student for the application, 20€ per family for the Lab School Association, 25€ per student for yearly field trips, 600€ per student enrollment fees, and 280€ per student for re-enrollment.
