Dear families,
As in past years, we will open the registration platform for the 2024-25 school year in the upcoming days.
Our school community is growing year by year. In fact, we now have over 660 students and, as always, we will give our currently enrolled students priority in confirming their place in the subsequent class for the following school year.
This priority window will remain open for one month until December 17th.
After this deadline, we will also open enrolments to all students already on the waiting lists of the various classes and those who are currently participating in the Admissions process.
Regarding “Day-school” Tuition (for school attendance only), from MYP1 and onwards a 3% adjustment is applied, as communicated in the previous years’ school fee plans. The Tuition fees for the EYU and PYP Primary Years have not been adjusted compared to last year’s fees.
The school has decided not to apply any further adjustments to the Tuition fees, despite the steep inflationary rate in recent months and will absorb the inflation impact up to the +6.5% threshold. As communicated in past years, should the inflation rate exceed this rate, the school will apply a tuition adjustment.
Compared to the 2023-24 fees plan, a dedicated Boarding School tuition plan, in which both Tuition and Boarding costs are included, has been introduced from this year. In this new Fees plan, a new series of activities, aimed at the continuous improvement in service quality, that will support the Boarding students in their academic preparation and personal growth, will be implemented (more details are indicated in the School fees plan file).
Unlike in the past, the choice of the Boarding service option during the registration process represents the formal enrolment in the service.
Families who wish to confirm their Boarding School registration in ‘Early bird’, i.e. enrolments completed by 31/01/24, will be given a dedicated discount on the overall fee (-€500 MYP 3-5; -€1500 DP1-2), additional to the ‘Early Bird’ discount on the registration fee and with the ”One Solution” discount indicated below).
For all the families, compared to the past, we have introduced a change to the Registration fee, which becomes 2,500€, maintaining the ‘Early bird’ discount of 1,000€ for enrolments completed by 31/01/24. The reduction applied to the Tuition fee in case of lump sum/single solution payment is now -2.5%.
The instalment payment option that is managed through an external partnership and that does not foresee any interest for the family apart from the secretarial and management fees, remains the same as last year (250€).
During the enrolment process, the family will be asked to confirm the choice of the instalment payment option, while the actual procedure of the instalment payments will be activated from February.
The payment of the Registration fee will continue to be due within 5 days following the registration, while Tuition fees will be due starting from May 2024 according to the chosen payment option.
The discounts for second and third children, 10 and 15 percent respectively, remain confirmed.
The School fees plan for the 2024-25 school year is available at the link here, while the registration platform will be available from Wednesday, November 22nd.
As always, we thank you for your continued support and remain at your disposal for any insights or clarifications.
