Tuition fees by school year (per term and per school year)

- Förskoleklass, grundskola (compulsory years) and gymnasium (upper secondary): SEK 0 per term — SEK 0 per school year for standard tuition. There is no per‑term or per‑year tuition charge for eligible pupils.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- For standard tuition there is no invoicing because no tuition is charged.
- Any optional, chargeable items (for example voluntary international study trips, specific extracurricular activities, replacement charges for lost or damaged school property, or other activity‑specific fees) are billed individually when applicable; each such item is invoiced with its own payment instructions and deadline. Payment terms for optional items are set on the individual invoice or activity communication.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Internationella Engelska Skolan Hässelby operates as a day school and does not have a standard boarding provision; therefore there are no boarding fees.

Other costs or fees (including uniform, meals, after‑school care, trips and materials)

- School lunch is provided free of charge.
- There is no standard tuition or registration charge that would cover uniforms; there is no routine uniform fee applied as part of school attendance.

Charges for optional activities, trips, study‑related exams or specific course materials are applied only when those items or activities are optional and are invoiced separately.
- After‑school care (fritids/junior club) and similar municipal services may carry a parental fee according to local municipal rules; fees for those services are governed by municipal regulations (for example the municipal ‘‘maxtaxa'' system) and are handled separately from school tuition.

Refund information

- There are no tuition or application fees to refund for standard compulsory and upper‑secondary education because those fees are not charged.
- Refunds for paid optional activities, trips or services are handled according to the specific activity's stated terms and conditions; refundability (deadlines, partial refunds or non‑refundable costs) is set for each activity and communicated with the invoice or booking information.

Fee payment options
