- Accessory charges: payments are subject to accessory charges for stamp duty and collection (“spese accessorie di bollo e incasso”) where indicated. Late payment, non‑payment and the school's remedies and consequences are governed by the school regulation. Suspension of attendance does not reduce or suspend the obligation to pay the retta (the fee remains due according to the chosen payment plan).
Payment methods and banking details
- Bank transfer (bonifico) to the school's account is an accepted method; the school's designated account is at Carisbo – Intesa San Paolo (IBAN: IT33 D030 6902 4781 0000 0017 057). When bank transfer is used, families should include the requested payment reference in the payment description as indicated by the school.
- SEPA Direct Debit (S.D.D.) is used for the monthly instalment option (the 10‑month plan); the regulation describes S.D.D. collection for monthly payments. No credit‑card payment method is specified in the school retta regulation.
Other costs and items (what the retta includes and excludes)
- Items explicitly included in the annual retta: personnel costs, management and utilities; mandatory INAIL insurance; upkeep and updating of laboratory and didactic equipment; access to the school counselling/listening service; sport outings (meals and accommodation for trips are excluded); supervised study afternoons, academic enhancement and extension courses; the afternoon preparation course for IGCSE Mathematics; participation in student clubs; participation in national and international competitions; the school‑assigned laptop (available on loan for use also outside school premises); laboratory gowns; one STEAM polo shirt; use of a personal locker.
- Items explicitly excluded from the retta (costs borne by families): Cambridge IGCSE exam registration fees; textbooks and school books; registration and administrative fees for state final examination / diploma withdrawal; educational trips and curricular/extracurricular excursions (travel, board and lodging costs for trips are excluded from the retta).
Boarding / residential provision
- The school's tuition regulation does not provide or itemise boarding (convitto) fees or a boarding service; no boarding fee schedule is listed in the school's retta regulation. Families should therefore assume there is no boarding fee included or charged by the school.
Refunds and withdrawal (key refund rules applicable to fees and pre‑payments)
- Test fee (EUR 50.00): refunded if the candidate does not pass the entrance test; if the candidate passes and proceeds with pre‑registration/registration the test fee is considered part of the enrolment contribution or is otherwise retained as set out in the regulation.
- Pre‑registration fee (EUR 950.00): the regulation provides for refund of the pre‑registration fee in specific circumstances spelled out in the selection/band notice (for example, if a candidate remains on the waiting list and no place becomes available within the published deadlines). If a pre‑registered candidate withdraws after certain deadlines the pre‑registration fee may be retained by the school as a contractual/administrative charge. All refunds are governed by the explicit conditions in the regulation.
- Withdrawal during the first year (Classe prima): if a family withdraws or transfers the student to another institution on or before 31 January of the first year, the school will retain only the amounts already due and the instalment due by 30 September (i.e., amounts already scadute at the date of withdrawal) to cover organisation and administrative costs; no further retta for subsequent months will be charged. Withdrawals after 31 January or transfers later in the year are generally subject to the ordinary economic regime and the family remains liable for the full annual retta, except where exceptional circumstances and the regulation provide otherwise. The regulation specifies the limited cases in which refunds are possible and confirms that most amounts are refundable only where expressly provided.
Notes on enforcement and special conditions
- The retta regulation frames the school‑family economic relationship as a contractual agreement governed by civil and consumer‑protection law; the regulation reserves the school's right to retain sums to cover reasonable and documented costs where a candidate withdraws or fails to finalize enrolment. All specific exceptions, refund deadlines, and the consequences of late or missing payments are detailed in the full regulation and must be accepted as part of enrolment.
If you require the precise payment reference text, the full schedule for instalment due dates by cohort, or the exact wording of refund and withdrawal clauses, those particulars are set out in the school's “Regolamento per il pagamento della retta scolastica a.s. 2026‑2027.”
