- Tuition: SEK 0 per term and SEK 0 per academic year for all year groups at IES Uppsala (Year 4 through Year 9). IES schools are operated within the Swedish school-funding system and do not charge tuition for compulsory schooling.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Standard tuition billing is not applicable because there is no tuition charged for attendance.
- Optional, chargeable services (for example Junior Club / after‑school programmes and some voluntary extracurricular activities) are billed separately when offered; those charges are typically set and billed by the individual school (commonly on a term basis for Junior Club). Example: Junior Club fees at some IES schools have been published as SEK 3,500 per term with a 50% sibling discount; amounts and billing cycles vary by school.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- IES Uppsala is a day school and does not operate boarding; therefore there are no boarding fees.

- Optional after‑school care (Junior Club / fritids for eligible year groups) may carry a term fee that is set by the school.
- Schools may charge for voluntary activities that incur extra costs (for example special workshops, optional excursions, specific course materials or externally run clubs). Such charges are organised and invoiced by the school when they apply.
- School food is provided at the Uppsala school and a contracted caterer is used; charges for meals are not part of standard tuition billing for compulsory schooling. Details about meal provision and catering at IES Uppsala are published by the school.

Refund information

- Because regular tuition and admission are not charged, a general tuition‑refund policy is not applicable.
- Refunds or cancellation rules for any paid optional services (for example Junior Club or paid extracurricular activities) are determined by the individual school and by the terms communicated at the time of enrolment in that activity; these terms are set and administered at school level.

Fee payment options and invoicing

- Tuition invoices are not issued for compulsory schooling because no tuition is charged.
- For optional paid services, registration and administration are handled by the school (registrations commonly use SchoolSoft for queueing and school administration), and the school issues the invoice or registration confirmation that describes payment methods and deadlines. Payment methods and exact payment terms for optional fees are set by the school.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Queue-based intake. Admissions are managed through the SchoolSoft queue. The system operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Sibling priority applies when a sibling currently attends, or has been accepted into, an IES school, at the time the next sibling starts. 2. How to apply. The application window is open year-round and you may apply to multiple schools at the same time. To apply, click 'Apply here', select the school you wish to apply to (each school has its own queue), and log in with BankID to submit your personal details. If BankID is not available, you can use the online application form. 3. Queue timing and residency. You can place your child in the queue from February 1 the year after they were born at the earliest. Each school maintains its own queue, and being in one queue does not grant priority at another. You can be in queues for multiple schools simultaneously. Queue time cannot be transferred between schools. 4. Offers and next steps. The school will email you to notify that the process is underway. If offered a place, you must respond within the specified deadline; if no response is received, the offer passes to the next applicant. If you decline a place, you forfeit it; if you change your mind later, you can submit a new application.

Waitlist
Queue-based intake is used; offers are allocated by queue time and there are no entrance exams. Sibling priority applies when a sibling currently attends or has been accepted to an IES school, and families may be in queues for multiple schools simultaneously.
