Introduction

Situated near Marbella on the Costa del Sol, The English International College is a British international school for ages 3 to 18. It follows the National Curriculum for England and Wales, with the Primary School (ages 3–10) taught by qualified teachers and a Secondary section (11–16) supported by specialist subject teams. The Sixth Form leads to IGCSE and A Levels, and from January 2026 a two‑year Stepping Stones program expands to Years 3 and 4 to address English development and curriculum gaps. The school provides specialist spaces for Computing, Music and Physical Education, and offers languages including Spanish, French and German from age 3. The Horizons Programme in the Sixth Form develops university‑level skills through debating, public speaking and a Horizon Diploma. Notable features include LAMDA examinations, project‑based learning, charity initiatives and a strong extra‑curricular offering such as ski trips and clubs. The school has a long history of achievement.

Fees
Application fees
- A Fee Schedule for the 2025/2026 academic year is published for the school; no specific, public amount for an application or registration fee is shown in the accessible fee materials.

Tuition fees (by year group and per term)
- No definitive per-year-group or per-term numeric tuition figures are publicly available in the accessible 2025/2026 Fee Schedule materials. The school references a downloadable Fee Schedule 2025/2026 but the detailed PDF fee document could not be retrieved for exact numbers.
- Independent local school guides and market summaries place EIC's annual tuition broadly in the mid-to-upper range for Marbella international schools; estimates published by local guides indicate typical annual tuition ranges for EIC from roughly EUR 5,500 to EUR 14,000 depending on year group and programme. These are third‑party market ranges and are not itemised term-by-term by the school in the accessible materials.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school's admissions information indicates the normal admissions window and timing of enrolment activity (applications are typically submitted during the Spring term). There is no publicly posted, itemised billing schedule or explicit payment-term timetable (for example: exact term dates for invoicing, due‑dates, or late‑payment penalties) visible in the accessible fee materials.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding is not applicable to this school: external school directories and listings identify The English International College as a non‑boarding, day school (no weekly or full boarding places listed). Therefore there are no boarding fee charges for EIC.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- School uniform: Uniforms are required and are to be purchased from the named supplier Uniformes Bahia Marbella; specific uniform items are listed and the school sells certain small items on campus (for example, EIC swim caps are sold at €10). No single total price for a full uniform set is published in the accessible materials.
- Examination and assessment costs: The school runs IGCSE / A‑Level programmes and related exam sittings are referenced in news and curriculum pages; however, individual exam entry fees or per‑exam charges are not published in the accessible fee materials.
- Canteen / meals, transport and extra‑curricular charges: the school provides canteen services, school transport routes and a wide extracurricular offer; specific prices for meals, transport routes or extracurricular programme fees are not publicly itemised in the accessible fee materials.

Refund information
- No publicly accessible refund, withdrawal or fee‑reimbursement policy text (specific percentages, deadlines or conditions for refunds) is published in the accessible 2025/2026 fee materials. The formal Fee Schedule reference exists but the detailed refund/withdrawal clauses could not be located in the accessible documents.

Fee payment options
- The accessible public pages do not list specific accepted payment methods (for example: which cards, online payment portals, or bank transfer details). No itemised list of accepted payment channels is available in the publicly accessible fee materials.

Summary of findings and gaps
- I located the school's Fee Schedule 2025/2026 reference and admissions material but the downloadable detailed fee PDF could not be retrieved successfully, and the public pages do not include the granular per‑year, per‑term numeric fee table you requested.
- I confirmed the school is a day school (no boarding fees) and gathered firm public details about uniform supplier and small item pricing (e.g., swim caps €10).
- Where the school's public pages list services (exams, transport, canteen, extracurriculars) the specific charges, term totals and billing schedule are not published in those accessible documents; local third‑party guides provide broad annual fee ranges for the school but do not supply a term‑by‑term billing breakdown.

If you need the exact numeric tuition and term‑by‑term figures, the school's admissions Fee Schedule 2025/2026 is the stated source of those numbers but the detailed PDF was not retrievable from the public link; the accessible public pages do not contain the per‑year, per‑term fee table requested.
