- I searched the school's publicly accessible information and found no published fee schedule or itemized fee amounts for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year. The school's public pages describe programs, language of instruction, location, and contact channels but do not publish application fees, tuition amounts by year group or term, billing schedules, boarding fees, itemized additional costs, refund rules, or payment method details. Because those fee figures and formal policies are not published, it is not possible to provide the detailed numeric fee data you requested.
