Fees
Application fee
- An application fee (wpisowe) is required as part of the admissions process; payment of this fee is one of the conditions for a child to be accepted and for the contract to be signed.

Tuition fees by year group and per term
- The school uses a published tuition (czesne) system, but specific amounts for each year group and per term are not published publicly on the general admissions pages. Parents receive the exact tuition amounts and the formal fee schedule as part of the contractual documentation and via the school's payments system after admission.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Contractual tuition arrangements are established at the time of enrolment and are administered through the school's payment system.
- Charges for profile/extra-curricular classes (zajęcia profilowane) are billed monthly after the month of provision; parents are charged for the actual number of lessons delivered in a month and those charges are collected together with the school tuition. An example course lists a monthly charge model and an additional one-off course enrolment fee.
- A late pick-up penalty applies for supervised after-school care: the school charges PLN 50 for each hour (or part of an hour) of late collection; this fee is payable to the school's bank account.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding is not part of the school's provision for the primary school; there are no published boarding fees because the school operates as a day school.

- Extra‑curricular courses and clubs: many after‑school activities carry separate fees charged monthly after the month of provision; some courses include a one-off enrolment fee (for example, a drawing course lists a one‑off enrolment fee of PLN 150 and per‑lesson pricing). Payments for these activities are processed together with tuition.
- Meals and canteen: the school operates a school canteen; use of the canteen and related charges are subject to the canteen/after‑school rules and are billed separately or via the school's payment processes. A single late‑collection fee and canteen rules are specified in the school's regulations.

Refund information
- Refunds or cancellation terms for tuition and other school fees are governed by the education contract signed after a pupil's admission. There is no separate, publicly posted tuition refund schedule on the general admissions pages; detailed terms are provided in contractual documentation. Refund and return policies for uniform purchases follow standard consumer rules available via the school shop (14‑day right of withdrawal for consumer purchases made at the shop).

Fee payment options
