Fees
Application fees
- There are no application fees for admission to Internationella Engelska Skolan Sigtuna.

Tuition fees (by year group and term)
- There is no tuition charged for any year group (F–9). Attendance at IES Sigtuna is not subject to tuition fees.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- For school tuition and admission there is no billing schedule because no tuition or application fees are charged.
- For after‑school care (Fritids) a place must be registered through the school's registration system; any charge for Fritids is handled separately from tuition and is administered according to the local arrangement for that service. Registration and opening hours for Sigtuna's Fritids are published by the school.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding is not offered at IES Sigtuna; there are no boarding facilities and therefore no boarding fees. The school serves grades F–9 (compulsory school).

Other costs and optional charges
- School lunch is provided free of charge.
- Optional or ancillary costs that parents may encounter at IES schools include fees for after‑school provision (Fritids/Junior Club), voluntary PTA/class contributions, optional extracurricular activities, trips or excursion charges, and occasional event or club fees. Specific optional charges vary by school and by activity. Examples across the IES network show Junior Club / term fees at some schools (example: a Junior Club fee of SEK 3,200 per term at one IES school) and municipal / income‑based arrangements for Fritids fees at others.
- There is no school uniform requirement at IES schools, but there is a dress code; therefore uniform purchase is not required.

Refunds and cancellations
- Because there are no application or tuition fees, refund rules for tuition/application are not applicable.
- For after‑school care (Fritids) and junior‑club services that carry fees, refund and cancellation terms are determined by the local arrangement; some IES schools' Fritids policies require formal notice to cancel a place and may charge the full fee for the final month after notice (local examples show a notice period to the end of the following month and full charge for that month). Parents should follow the school's Fritids registration and cancellation procedures for the exact terms that apply to the after‑school provision.

Fee payment options
- For central tuition and admission there are no payments required.
- For optional charges where they apply (Fritids, Junior Club, PTA contributions, trips, club fees), payment methods vary by school and activity. Examples across the school network show a mix of term billing and direct payment methods such as Swish or bank/plusgiro payments for voluntary PTA contributions and term fees. Parents should follow the school's instructions for the chosen service on how to pay.
