Boarding fees

Boarding provision and the 2026 boarding fee are published as part of the school's 2026 fee structure.

Other costs and mandatory extras

- Uniform: a school uniform supplier is identified for ordering uniforms.
- Meals: quality meals are available at an additional cost; meal charges are noted separately to tuition.

Refund information

Where other Royal Russell entities publish online payment portals and international payment providers, those are for different campuses and are not shown as a published payment method for the Vilnius fee pages accessed.

Brief note on items not published on the public fee pages accessed

- The school's published fee summaries accessed provide annual tuition by year group and show the first‑year one‑time charge(s) (entrance and boarding in 2026). The following items were not detailed on the public fee pages accessed and therefore are not included above: a full billing calendar (invoice dates and standard payment due dates), detailed instalment plans or discounts, a comprehensive list of incidental fees with amounts (e.g., per‑trip, per‑exam), and an exhaustive withdrawal/refund schedule beyond the stated non‑refundability of the entrance/boarding charge.
