Annual tuition by year group (2026/27 academic year)
- Grades IX–XII (High school, Cambridge path): EUR 14,100 per school year. The published annual figure is a reference amount that includes the educational fee, the administrative fee and the meal fee (when the meal service is chosen).

- Included in the published annual fee (where applicable): educational programme (standard programme activities), administrative services, access to core online platforms and some local educational visits.
