Fees

Annual tuition at The Tanto International School ranges from SEK 0 to SEK 46,600 for 2026/27.

Application fees

- Waiting list / application (Admentum) fee: 200 SEK, payable to secure a place on the school queue.

Tuition fees by year group (annual and per term detail where available)

- Published annual tuition range: 44,600 SEK to 46,600 SEK per year.

- Primary years detail shown in third‑party listings: KG2 / Year 1 through Year 7 are listed at 44,600 SEK per year. The school's published range includes a higher figure (46,600 SEK) at the top end of the scale. Parents should note that the school publishes an annual fee figure rather than a full public per‑term matrix on the public pages.

- Nursery (English Nursery): fees for the nursery are governed by the municipal maximum fee system (maxtaxa), not by the school's independent annual tuition figure. After‑school care (Fritids / T.A.S.C) is also subject to maxtaxa rules.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school issues a formal School Fee Policy document that sets the billing schedule, instalment dates, payment deadlines and related terms; that formal policy contains the detailed timetable and any late‑payment terms. The public admissions pages give the annual fee figures but do not publish a full per‑term billing calendar in-line.

Boarding fees

- The school operates an English Nursery, the international day school and after‑school care (T.A.S.C). There is no boarding provision listed for the school; boarding fees are therefore not applicable.

Other costs and fees

- Lunch: lunch and snacks are served daily; meals are prepared and delivered by Kleins Kitchen. Whether lunch is included in the published tuition or charged separately is set out in the school's fee policy.

- Uniforms, books, school trips, exam fees, extracurricular activities, specialist resources or similar optional charges are not itemised on the school's main public fee summary; these are handled as additional costs where applicable and are addressed in the school's fee policy. Parents should expect that certain optional activities or external exam fees (e.g., Cambridge/IGCSE charges when relevant) may incur separate charges.

Refund information

- Specific refund, withdrawal and fee‑adjustment rules (for mid‑term withdrawals, long‑term absences, or other circumstances) are set out in the school's formal School Fee Policy document. The public pages provide the headline annual fees and waiting list fee but defer the full refund/credit terms to that policy document.

Fee payment options

- The school's public admissions material states the annual fees and refers to a formal School Fee Policy for full payment procedures. Public pages do not list an explicit menu of accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, card, or Swish); methods and banking details are provided in the school's fee documentation and billing communications.

Summary of findings and gaps

- Headline figures available from the school's public admissions information: waiting list fee 200 SEK; annual tuition shown in the range 44,600 SEK to 46,600 SEK; nursery and after‑school care fees follow the municipal maxtaxa system.

- The school provides a detailed School Fee Policy document (for the 2026/27 academic year) that contains the full billing schedule, instalment amounts, payment deadlines, refund rules and specific lists of additional charges; that formal policy is the source for term‑by‑term and per‑grade instalment breakdowns. The headline public pages do not publish a full per‑term fee matrix or the complete list of accepted payment methods in-line.

(If you need a precise per‑term instalment table, payment deadlines, refund clause text, or line‑by‑line charges for uniforms/trips/exams, those details are contained in the school's School Fee Policy document.)
