Application fees

- There is no application fee charged by the school for admission; applications are submitted through the Vilnius municipal e‑admissions system.

Tuition fees (by year group and term)

- The school is a state / municipal progymnasium providing primary and lower‑secondary education. There is no tuition charged to families for formal primary and basic (grades 1–8) education. (No per‑term or per‑year tuition applies for standard school enrolment.)

Billing schedule and payment terms (school‑managed charges)

- The school does not bill tuition; the only regular purchasable school service arranged on site is student catering (meals). Meal payments may be made in cash or by bank card at the school cafeteria, or by bank transfer when purchasing meal coupons; coupon transfers appear for collection three business days after a bank transfer is made. Meal coupons can be bought for a single day or for multiple days in advance. The school's catering is provided by an external caterer under a service contract.

- Families eligible for municipal free‑meal support or special meal arrangements receive those benefits under Vilnius municipal rules; free meal or subsidised meal arrangements follow municipal eligibility and schedules.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

Other costs and fees

- School uniform: Wearing the school uniform is required.

Families must purchase the required uniform items and the emblem where specified.

- Learning resources and supplies: Parents are required to provide textbooks, stationery and other personal learning materials specified for each grade. These items are family costs.

- Non‑formal (extracurricular) activities: Regular school‑run non‑formal clubs offered by the school are free of charge.

Any fees for those commercial clubs are collected by the outside organisers, not as school tuition.

- School trips, special projects, summer camps or externally organised events: When these activities incur costs, families are asked to cover the participant fee; the amount and billing schedule depend on the specific activity or external provider. The school's program documents and event notices indicate which activities are chargeable.

- Donations and voluntary contributions: Voluntary financial support or donations to the school are processed according to the school's donation guidance; such contributions are voluntary and separate from mandatory school services.

Refund information

- Tuition refunds: Not applicable (there is no tuition charged for the formal primary and basic education the school provides).

- Meal coupons and cafeteria payments: No school‑wide refund schedule for meal coupons is published on the school pages; meal purchase and any refund/credit arrangements are managed according to the catering provider's and municipal rules governing school catering.

- Paid extracurriculars and uniform purchases: Refund, cancellation and exchange policies for commercial extracurriculars and uniform purchases are set by the external providers who sell those services or goods; the school lists providers but those providers set their own terms.

Accepted payment methods and practical payment details

- School cafeteria (meals): cash, bank card, or bank transfer; bank transfers for meal coupons should include school name, class letter, and the student's full name when remitting payment. The school notes a caterer account for transfers (UAB “Skirtingi skoniai” – account LT75 7044 0901 0756 7139, AB SEB bankas).

- Commercial extracurriculars and uniform purchases: Payments for commercial clubs and uniform purchases are handled directly with those external organisations or vendors and follow their stated payment methods (cards, bank transfers or other options as offered by the vendor).
