Application fees
- There are no application or enrolment fees for admission to the Model General Lyceum of Heraklion. Enrollment in this public lyceum is not subject to a paid application charge.
Tuition fees by year group (A, B, C Lyceum)
- There are no tuition fees for any year group (A΄, B΄, Γ΄ Lyceum). No per-term or per-year tuition is charged for regular day-school attendance.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- For core schooling (instruction, scheduled lessons and standard in‑school provision) there is no billing schedule because no tuition or mandatory school fees are charged.
- For optional or event‑based costs (for example multi‑day school trips, study visits, paid transport arrangements, or third‑party programmes) billing is arranged per event. Typical practice is to require a deposit and then one or more subsequent instalments with announced deadlines; final payment is normally due before departure or the start of the activity. When a private tour operator or external provider organises a trip, payment is usually made to the organiser (often by bank deposit to the organiser's account) according to the payment schedule set out in the trip contract.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding facilities and boarding fees are not applicable. The Model General Lyceum of Heraklion operates as a day lyceum; it does not operate a school boarding house, so there are no boarding charges.
Other costs and typical items parents pay for
- School trips and educational visits: Parents normally pay the full cost of travel, accommodation, insurance and any entrance fees for optional/extra‑curricular trips. Costs vary by destination and provider; the school issues specific cost and payment details for each trip.
- Student transport: Transport arrangements (municipal/KTEL routes or private buses) are commonly paid for by families; an example local arrangement cited by the school's parents association referenced a monthly travel card cost (example listing: EUR 40.00 per child per month for a specific bus card arrangement). Transport costs are arranged separately from school tuition.
- Learning materials and textbooks: Official school textbooks for public secondary education are provided through the national system and distributed to public schools; families are not charged tuition for textbooks distributed by the state. Families may still purchase or replace supplementary materials, exercise books, stationery or optional reference texts.
- Extracurricular activities / clubs / external courses: Some optional clubs, external programmes or third‑party courses (including some international programmes or private providers) may require payment; those costs are charged per programme and communicated in advance.
- Photocopying, printing, materials and small administrative charges: Minor costs for photocopies, printed materials, protective equipment for laboratory work or voluntary contributions for school needs may be asked for on an occasional basis; these are event/need‑based rather than scheduled tuition charges.
- Uniforms: No official mandatory school uniform is listed for this lyceum; uniform requirements do not apply as a scheduled school fee.
Refund information
- Refunds for payments that families make for optional items (for example trip deposits, tour operator packages, transport passes or paid external programmes) follow the organiser's or provider's terms and the specific agreement announced for that activity. Refund conditions (if any) are specified in the trip contract or the organiser's terms; the school follows the contractual arrangements and the communicated rules for that activity. Refund handling for activity payments is therefore event‑specific rather than governed by a general tuition refund policy.
Fee payment options
- No tuition payments are required; therefore there is no recurring tuition payment mechanism for core schooling.
- For optional costs (trips, transport cards, external programmes), common payment methods used in practice are bank deposit/transfer to the organiser's account or cash payments collected according to the school's instructions. Event contracts and school communications set the accepted payment method and deadlines; bank deposit/transfer with a declared reference is commonly used for organised trips. Public schools typically do not operate an on‑site credit‑card payment service for these fees; credit‑card acceptance, when offered, is more common in private institutions or third‑party vendors.
