Fees
Application fees

- No specific application, registration, or enrolment fee amounts are published for Pio X International for the current academic year.

Tuition fees by school year (detailed per term / year group)

- No published tuition figures (per term or per year) are available for Pio X International or for the other school levels. The school offers the IGCSE pathway for the first biennium (approx. ages 14–16) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for the final two years (approx. ages 16–18), but specific tuition amounts by grade or term are not shown in the public school materials reviewed.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- There is no publicly published billing schedule (for example: number of instalments, due dates, or automatic billing timetable) or standard payment terms available in the school's current public documents. The school's regulations and programme documents indicate families are required to pay for specific items such as educational trips and associated accompanist costs when notified; however, precise invoicing schedules and general tuition payment terms are not specified in the materials reviewed.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- No contemporary boarding fee schedule is published and no clear, current boarding (internato/convitto) fee structure is presented in the school's public materials for the international programme. Historical references show the institution formerly hosted internal boarders, but current programme descriptions and documents for Pio X International present day-school curricula without a published boarding price list.

Other costs and common additional charges

- Meal service (mensa): a contracted school lunch service is in place; the mensa is described as organized by an external catering provider. Whether daily meal charges are billed separately or included in tuition is not specified in the published materials.

- Extended-day service (tempo prolungato): care and supervised play up to 17:00 is explicitly stated as included in the school fee (la retta); the optional period from 17:00 to 18:00 is provided as a paid service. No monetary amounts are published for either the included or paid portion.

- Educational trips and extracurricular activities: families bear the required costs for school trips and their share of accompanying staff expenses; the school documents state these costs must be provided by families upon notice, but no standard price schedule is published.

- Penalties and incidental charges: the school regulations list disciplinary fines or penalties for specific infractions (for example, a €50 sanction referenced for a serious infraction in the regulations); other incidental charges (lost badge replacement, penalties) are noted in principle but not quantified broadly.

- Uniforms, textbooks, exam/contribution fees: no published fixed prices for uniforms, mandatory textbooks, or separate examination/contribution fees were found in the public documents. Textbook lists and curricular materials are referenced, but not monetary costs.

Refund information

- No published refund, cancellation, or tuition-pro rata refund policy (for mid-year withdrawal, illness, or change of enrolment) was found in the school's public regulations and programme materials for the current academic year.

Fee payment options

- No explicit list of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer/bonifico, credit card, SEPA, direct debit) or bank details (IBAN) is published in the public documents that were reviewed.

Summary of coverage and remaining items not published

- Publicly available school documents (Piano dell'Offerta Formativa and the published school regulations) describe which services are included in the school fee (for example, supervised care up to 17:00) and which family contributions will be required for optional or event-based services (for example, trips and the extra 17:00–18:00 time slot). They do not, however, state any specific monetary amounts for application fees, tuition by year/term, boarding, uniforms, refund rules, or the permitted payment methods. The materials reviewed therefore do not provide the numeric fee schedule requested for the current academic year.
