Fees
Application fees

- There is no application fee to apply for admission to Vilnius Maironis Progymnazija for standard entry to the school.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per academic year)

- Grades 1–8 (primary and lower secondary / progymnasium level): no tuition charged (EUR 0 per term; EUR 0 per academic year). The institution operates as a state/municipal progymnasium and does not levy tuition for regular schooling.

- Pre‑school / before‑school groups: formal education places are managed under municipal rules; there is no separate tuition for standard formal education provision. Families may be charged for paid services such as meals or optional extended‑day services as described below.

Billing schedule and payment terms (paid items only)

- Meals (school canteen): parents pay for any chargeable meal services according to the school's published meal charges and the school's payment instructions. Payments by bank transfer are accepted and are matched against the payment purpose; bank transfers are checked on the last day of the month and are applied for the following month. If a payment is received on or after the 1st of the month, the school notes that timely processing may be affected. Illness days reported by 08:00 are credited and the meal charge for those days is carried forward to the next month. Required payment details (payment purpose) must be provided with transfers.

- After‑school/"Visos dienos mokyklos" (VDM) group meals: VDM group operation is free as a service, but VDM group meals are paid by parents according to the school's meal rates; social support covers meal costs for eligible students. Parents sign a VDM contract and are required to pay for meals in line with the school's meal rates.

- Payment timing and processing: payments for meal provision are normally processed on a monthly cycle; parents are asked to make payments in advance or within the timeframes published by the school so the canteen can arrange meals; late or missing payments can affect service provision. Specific monthly cutoffs and per‑month amounts are published in the school's meal notice.

Boarding / residence (if applicable)

- The school does not operate boarding or residential accommodation; boarding fees are not applicable.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, supplies, clubs, trips)

- School uniform: a uniform is required and the school publishes the uniform components and the approved supplier. The main uniform components include (example list): sarafan or skirt (girls), trousers (boys), buttoned sweater, polo shirts; optional items include sweatshirt with school logo, shorts. Uniforms are available through the specified supplier (8TOGO). No uniform price list is published on the school documents; parents must purchase uniform items from the supplier at the supplier's prices.

- First‑grade supplies and basic learning materials: the school provides a published list of required supplies for first graders; parents are expected to supply those items. Prices for stationery and learning materials are not published by the school — parents purchase these items privately.

- Extracurricular clubs, special projects and school trips: some after‑school activities, external providers, excursions or optional courses may carry separate fees set per activity; these are invoiced or charged when those activities are offered. The school's internal documents and activity announcements set specific fees and payment arrangements when applicable.

Refund information (where the school publishes applicable rules)

- Meal credits for illness: when a pupil is reported as absent because of illness (reported by the class teacher or within the school's reporting procedure by the morning of the absence), the meal charge for those days is carried forward (credited) to the next month rather than lost. Parents must notify the class teacher per the school's published rules for the credit to apply.

- Other refunds: refunds or cancellations for optional paid activities, clubs or trips are handled according to the contractual terms published for each paid service or activity (for example, VDM contracts and activity-specific notices). Parents are bound by the terms and payment/cancellation rules set out in the relevant contract or activity notice.

Fee payment options (how parents may pay for chargeable services)

- Bank transfer (payment to the canteen/operator account with mandatory payment purpose details). The school's meal instructions list the canteen operator's beneficiary and account number to be used for transfers and require the payer to include the pupil's name and class in the payment reference.

- On‑site payment methods where available: cash and bank card payment at the school canteen are accepted for meal payments when the canteen operating procedures allow. Some schools and canteen operators also use prepayment systems for meal management; the school publishes the accepted on‑site and prepayment methods for canteen users.

Summary (key points for parents)

- There is no application fee and no tuition for standard schooling at Vilnius Maironis Progymnazija for grades 1–8 (EUR 0 per term / EUR 0 per year).
- Chargeable items are mainly meal services, certain optional activities, and personal supplies/uniforms; meal daily prices and monthly sample totals are published in the school's meal guidance and payment instructions.
