- Instalment option for the October invoice: upon written request to the Director before October 15, the October invoice (the 75% balance) can be deferred and split into three instalments; each instalment equals 25% of the annual fee (i.e., deposit 25% + three instalments of 25% each = 100%). Instalment due dates when accepted are: 1) before October 31, 2) before January 31, and 3) before March 31. Requests for instalments must be submitted each school year by the date specified.

Refunds and non‑refundability
- The 25% advance deposit is non‑refundable. Other mandatory charges and certain project fees are also non‑refundable as invoiced. Refunds and pro‑rata arrangements are handled according to the school's invoicing rules and the General Rules applicable to European Schools; unpaid balances at the end of the school year can affect continued enrolment.
Fee payment methods and practical payment details
- Bank transfer (wire transfer) is the published payment method for the European Schools invoicing system; invoices typically direct payment by wire transfer. Cash payments are not accepted.
- The local school provides an IBAN for payments to the Istituto (bank details are published in the school contact information); Italy's school payment platform (Pago in Rete / PagoPA) is the national system used for school payments and is mandatory for payments to Italian schools under current rules, so families should expect either bank transfer instructions or Pago in Rete / PagoPA payment notices as applicable.
