How the published monthly/annual figures relate

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school publishes flexible payment options: monthly, quarterly and annual payment plans are offered. Payments are expressed in USD and are collected using the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) exchange rate. An enrollment/entry contribution is required at enrolment.

Boarding / residential fees

- No boarding or residential programme or boarding fees are listed for AISU; published information describes day programmes (preschool and school) and does not list accommodation charges.

Other costs and what is included

- Learning materials: The published prices state that provision of workbooks and textbooks ("provision of learning materials") is included in the quoted tuition for all programmes.
- Meals: Daily meals are provided as part of the school offering; the school advertises multiple meals per day for preschool and school programmes. Meal service (number and dietary options) is described, and healthy/balanced meals are emphasised. Additional special-diet options are available on request.
- Extracurricular activities, camps and optional programmes: The school runs camps and additional activities which may carry separate charges; specific fees for optional clubs, camps or extra courses are not listed alongside standard tuition.
- Uniform / school clothing: No mandatory uniform fees or uniform pricing are published. The school does not publish a uniform price list in the available materials.
- Discounts and scholarships: The school publishes that discount and scholarship programmes exist (including family discounts and other concessions) but specific discount percentages or application rules are not listed in the publicly published price pages.

Refunds and state reimbursement schemes

- Preschool state reimbursement: The school participates in the Ukrainian state childcare support scheme commonly described as “money follows the child.” The school publishes a monthly reimbursement amount as part of that programme; a school article lists a monthly reimbursement figure (published examples include UAH 6,238 and other figures referenced on the site in connection with the programme). The reimbursement is applied as a monthly return to parents and can be processed as financial compensation to a bank account, credit toward future services, or loyalty/discount credit according to the programme description.
- Refunds of tuition or the terms for withdrawal, mid‑year withdrawals or refunds of the enrollment contribution: specific, itemised refund policies (for example whether the enrollment/entry contribution is refundable, or how tuition is refunded for mid‑term withdrawal) are not published in the public fee pages.

Fee payment methods and logistics

- Currency and exchange treatment: Published fees are expressed in USD; the school states payments are collected using the National Bank of Ukraine exchange rate (payments are therefore converted at the NBU rate).
- Specific payment instruments (credit card, bank transfer, standing order, online payment portal): the published pages do not list exact accepted payment instruments or step‑by‑step payment instructions. The school does describe that reimbursement to families (for the state programme) can be paid to a bank account. For precise instructions on accepted payment channels and transaction details, the school's administration is the appropriate contact for enrolment documentation and an invoice.

Summary of items not fully specified in published materials

- Per‑term invoicing: the school publishes monthly and annual figures and offers monthly/quarterly/annual payment plans; explicit per‑term (e.g., semester or term) invoice amounts or a formally published term structure are not shown in the public fee pages.
- Detailed refund mechanics (timelines, pro‑rata formulas, whether the enrollment fee is refundable) are not published in the publicly available fee pages.
- Specific payment instruments accepted (credit card processing, bank account details for transfers, online payment portal details) are not published on the price pages.

If you will be entering these figures into a database, use the following core items exactly as presented above: annual tuition (USD), monthly tuition (USD), enrollment contribution (USD), and notes that meals and learning materials are included, with state preschool reimbursement available (amounts published by the school). Key published pages used for these figures include the school's prices page, the main campus (home) page where monthly and branch figures are listed, and the school article describing the state reimbursement programme.
