- Invoices are issued electronically and payments are to be made in accordance with the invoice dates. The School may charge statutory interest on late payments.
- A non‑refundable reservation fee is required annually from families who confirm intent to continue; the reservation fee is credited against the next school year's tuition. The amount and payment date for that reservation fee are published each year (no fixed amount is given in the general fee list). If the School is unable to reserve a place despite timely payment of the reservation fee, the School will reimburse an amount equal to double the reservation fee.

- If the Educational Services Agreement is terminated during the school year, the School refunds tuition on a pro rata basis by quarter according to the schedule below (the schedule differs by chosen payment scheme):

- If tuition was paid bi‑annually and the student withdraws during the year, refunds are smaller: leaving before the first day of school — 25% refund; before end of Q1 — 18.75%; before end of Q2 — 12.5%.
- If payment is made monthly, the School will not refund any tuition for months already billed.
- The School will not be obliged to refund tuition or other fees in cases of school closure or lost school days caused by force majeure events (for example epidemics, natural disasters, strikes, extraordinary state actions, etc.).
- Termination and refund calculations reference the School calendar quarters; parents should note the School's defined quarter dates when considering pro rata refunds.

Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / other)

- The Educational Services Agreement specifies that obligations are to be paid based on invoices issued by the School and that invoices may be sent electronically. The School's fee documents and the Educational Services Agreement do not list specific, standardised payment methods (for example a published list of accepted credit cards, online payment portal, or a public bank account / IBAN) within the published fee documents. Families receive invoices that specify payment instructions and should follow the invoice for the payment method and details required. The School may accept payments from third‑party payers (employers) subject to a signed transfer‑of‑liability arrangement. The School may also claim statutory interest for late payments.
