Introduction

Athens Music School has operated since 2016-2017 school year, offering ordinary daytime middle school and lyceum curriculum alongside dedicated music and aesthetics education. Admissions for entering the first year of Gymnasium are held in June, and applicants are tested on musical abilities rather than prior musical knowledge. Over nine years, the school's ensembles have earned national and international recognition through performances at Athens venues and European programs. All students receive music and aesthetics instruction, with instrument lessons and music theory integrated into daily learning. The school supports a rich ensemble program, including Orchestra, European Music Choir, Traditional Music ensembles, Jazz ensembles, and Byzantine Music ensembles that perform at major venues. European and traditional music are taught, and the school participates in European twinning programs. Students engage in cultural activities through ensembles and performances, with daily bus transportation and meals provided due to extended hours, located at Drakontos 37, Akadimia Platonos.

Fees
Application fees

- Application for admission to Athens Music School (Μουσικό Σχολείο Αθηνών) carries no application fee. The school runs an entrance/selection process for entry to the A' grade of Gymnasium; participation in that selection is not charged.

Tuition fees by school year

- All general-education and music instruction at Athens Music School is provided without tuition charges.
- Amount per term: EUR 0.00.
- Amount per academic year: EUR 0.00.
- This applies to each year group enrolled in the school (all Gymnasium grades and any Lyceum grades that operate at the unit).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- There is no regular billing cycle and no payment schedule for tuition because no tuition is charged.
- Where money is collected for optional activities (for example field trips, voluntary contributions for events, or purchases handled by the Parents' Association or School Committee), the timing and terms of those collections are set by the organisers (school administration, Parents' Association or the School Committee) and will be communicated directly to participating families. Official handling of collected funds follows the school's financial procedures and requires proper receipts.

Boarding fees (if applicable to the school)

- Athens Music School is a day school (morning-session school) and does not operate as a boarding school; there are no boarding facilities or boarding fees.

Other possible costs (items parents commonly meet)

- Instrument purchase or long-term rental: Families are responsible for buying or renting personal instruments when required by the student's study programme. Instrument maintenance and repairs are additional, family-borne costs.
- Music exam or certification fees: Any fees for external graded examinations, conservatory certifications, or competitions (if a student chooses to enter them) are charged by the examining body and are not school tuition; such fees are payable by the family to the examining organisation.
- Uniforms / concert attire: If a specific concert outfit or uniform is required for ensembles or public performances, the cost of that attire is normally borne by the family; schools sometimes adopt standard concert dress (e.g., black-and-white concert clothing).
- Educational trips, workshops, masterclasses and local transport not covered by the state: Costs for optional trips, workshops, or similar extracurricular activities are charged to participating families when applicable.
- Photocopying, instruments' consumables, scores and small teaching materials: Occasional minor charges for expendable materials may be requested or organised through the Parents' Association.

Note: these items are optional or situational and are not tuition. The school or Parents' Association provides specific information and any payment instructions for each activity when applicable.

Refund information

- There are no tuition refunds because no tuition is collected.
- For voluntary payments or activity fees collected by the school or Parents' Association, refund policies (if any) follow the decision or rules communicated at the time of collection; families should expect receipts or documentation for any payment made to school-related entities.

Fee payment options (for any voluntary or activity charges)

- When payments are requested for optional activities or voluntary contributions, typical payment methods used by public-school bodies and Parents' Associations include cash, bank deposit/bank transfer to the designated school or association account, or hand-delivered payment to the school office. Exact accepted methods and payee details are provided to families at the time an activity or collection is announced.
- There are no school-operated credit-card tuition-payment facilities because there is no tuition to be paid; payment channels for optional charges are communicated case by case.

Legal / general note about costs

- Public primary and secondary education in Greece is provided without tuition charges. Students attending specialised units such as music gymnasia are eligible for state provisions (for example free transport, school meals, or accommodation support in cases where the state provides such measures), but Athens Music School itself is a local day school and does not levy boarding or tuition fees.
