Fees
Application / Admission fees

- An admission (application/registration) fee is charged at the time a place is offered. The school lists an Admission Fee column but does not publish a fixed public amount; grade-wise admission charges are provided directly to families on request.

Tuition fees (by year group; per term / per year details)

- The school uses a single annual, all‑inclusive fee model that covers tuition and most day‑to‑day school costs. The all‑inclusive annual fee is listed by stage/programme (Playgroup–Grade 5; Grades 6–10 MYP; Grades 11–12 IBDP/IBCP) but the exact numeric fee for each grade or term is not published publicly; the school provides the exact grade‑wise annual and term figures privately on request. The all‑inclusive fee explicitly includes textbooks, stationery, learning materials, food/daily meals and standard student activities.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition is determined annually and is due at the beginning of the academic year. Parents may also choose an instalment/payment‑plan option where installments are scheduled across the year. Specific instalment dates and any available per‑term amounts are supplied with the grade‑wise fee quote. Late payment charges and consequences for non‑payment (including possible suspension of the student or withholding of records) are applied according to the school's payment policy.

Boarding / residential fees

- The school operates as a day school; there is no published boarding or residential programme and no boarding fees are listed. Daily meals are included in the all‑inclusive fee.

Other costs and additional fees

- The all‑inclusive fee is stated to cover: all textbooks and books, stationery and supplies, learning materials and resources, daily meals, the Finland International Curriculum (Playgroup–Grade 5) and the IB pathway (Grades 6–12), personalised learning plans, student development activities, teacher guidance and mentoring, and related school activity costs.
- The school notes that additional fees may apply for certain extracurricular activities, special programmes or optional materials; these additional charges are communicated in advance and are charged according to the school's payment schedule. Uniforms are not explicitly listed among items covered by the all‑inclusive list, so uniform costs (if required) may be charged separately or communicated as part of the grade‑wise fee pack.

Refund information

- A refund framework is published in the school's policy: a full refund (less administrative fees) is available if a student withdraws before the academic year begins; partial refunds may be available for withdrawals after the academic year has started depending on timing; the policy also states that no refund is provided after a specified cut‑off date. Refund requests must be made in writing and are subject to administrative approval and the school's published rules. Specific refund percentages, administrative fees and the exact cut‑off date are provided in the school's fee/offer documentation.

Fee payment options

- Accepted payment methods include bank transfer, credit/debit card and approved online payment platforms. Invoices supply the school's official bank details and approved payment channels; the school issues invoices with specific payment instructions as part of the admission/fee pack.

How fee information is delivered to families

- Grade‑wise annual and per‑term figures, the admission fee amount, the payment schedule (installment dates), and any grade‑specific extras are supplied directly to families as part of the school's fee/parent information pack and individual fee quote. This is the method the school uses to present the final numeric fees for each programme and grade.

2. Future Planning Session. The Future Planning Session discusses your child and helps identify the right IB pathway and bridge for their journey. The session guides families through pathway choices and planning for the school's IB routes and Finnish pedagogy. The conversation frames next steps and supports personalised planning for the child.

Families review potential subject combinations and how they connect to future study and career interests. This planning ensures a coherent, personalized academic journey.
