Billing schedule and payment terms - The school publishes flexible payment options: monthly, quarterly and annual payment plans are offered. Payments are expressed in USD and are collected using the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) exchange rate. An enrollment/entry contribution is required at enrolment.
