Fees
Application fees
- No application or enrolment fee is charged for admission to Internationella Engelska Skolan Österåker.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year)
- Compulsory schooling (Years 1–9) at Internationella Engelska Skolan Österåker is provided without tuition charge: SEK 0 per term / SEK 0 per school year. There is no routine tuition invoice for these year groups.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- There is no billing schedule or payment term for tuition because compulsory-school tuition is not charged. For any voluntary or occasional charges (see “Other costs”), invoices or payment requests are issued and administered by the school's administration. Contact details for the school administration are available for payment queries.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding is not applicable. Internationella Engelska Skolan Österåker operates as a local day school and does not have boarding provision; therefore no boarding fees apply.

Other costs or fees (uniforms, trips, materials, clubs)
- School meals: pupils in compulsory school are offered school meals at no cost.
- Voluntary activities, school trips, optional excursions, special events, some extracurricular clubs or particular materials may incur separate, voluntary charges. Such charges are occasional and charged only for optional items or activities; parents are not required to pay for compulsory tuition or core learning materials. When these voluntary costs occur they are normally billed separately by the school.
- Uniforms: no universal school uniform fee is charged by default; if any uniform or branded clothing is offered for purchase, that cost would be optional and billed separately by the supplier or school.

Refund information
- Because there are no application or tuition charges for compulsory years, there is no tuition- or application-fee refund policy to apply. Refund rules for any voluntary payments (for example paid trips or purchased items) depend on the specific activity or supplier and are handled on a case-by-case basis by the school administration.

Fee payment options (how payments are normally accepted for any voluntary charges)
- No tuition payments are required. For occasional voluntary charges, common payment methods used in Sweden and typically available to organisations include invoice (bank transfer), Swish (mobile payment), and card payments; individual arrangements and exact accepted methods for a given charge are set by the school's administration and shown on the invoice or payment request. Parents should use the school administration's payment instructions for each charge.
