Refunds and withdrawal

- The publicly posted fee schedules do not include a detailed refund or withdrawal policy within the fee documents themselves; certain competition- and scholarship-related rules note that enrollment contract fees (initial registration, annual enrollment fee, canteen) remain payable even for scholarship winners and that the school may withhold or require payment under specified conditions. Families should note that no comprehensive refund terms are published in the fee documents.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The fee schedules provide the list of amounts (registration, annual tuition, canteen, extras) but do not publish a standard billing timetable (for example exact invoice dates or installment schedule) or detailed payment terms in the fee sheets themselves. The school's published documents state that tuition and cafeteria fees may be changed with prior notice by a specified deadline. Specific invoice timing, installment options, late-payment penalties, and accepted payment methods are not itemised in the publicly available fee schedule documents.

Fee payment options

- The publicly available fee schedules do not list accepted payment methods (bank transfer, credit card, direct debit) inside the fee sheets; families are billed for registration, tuition, canteen and optional services as separate line items in the schedules above.

Administrative notes (published conditions visible in fee documents)

- The school reserves the right to change tuition or cafeteria fees but states that any changes will be communicated no later than December 31 of the preceding school year. Scholarship awards do not cover enrollment-contract fees and canteen charges, which remain payable by scholarship recipients.

Summary of available published amounts

- The amounts above are the published registration, annual tuition and standard service fees listed in the school's official fee schedules for the upcoming academic year; canteen, company premium, early-mornings and afterschool prices are published as fixed yearly charges per student where applicable.

Note on missing details in the published fee documents

- The publicly posted fee sheets list amounts but do not supply a full billing schedule (invoice dates or installment plan details), detailed payment terms, accepted payment method list, or a complete refund/withdrawal policy within the same fee documents. For parents entering data into an external database, the numerical fees and service charges above are the published line items; the fee schedules do not include the operational payment mechanics and refund clauses in the same documents.
