Dear Families,
Like in years past, the moment to choose the educational pathway for your children is quickly approaching. Our school community is continuously growing and we are truly honoured that you have chosen to be a part of it. We find great pride in knowing that your children will continue their journey of discovery, cultural development and their educational pathway, which started within H-FARM International School.
Between the 21st and the 25th November 2022, the enrolment renewal process for next year’s classes will officially open for current students attending the school. Until 15th December, the enrolment platform will be accessible only for currently enrolled students.
However, starting on 22nd December, we will open the enrolments to all new students and to those that are already on waiting lists for some of our classes. This means that from that date, the remaining available spaces in classes will become available for those who have been admitted or will apply to enrol in our school.
The fee plan for the 2023-24 school year will be accessible via the link https://www.h-farm.com/international-school-fees from Monday, 12th November, coinciding with the school’s first Open Day, and will remain unchanged, even in case of further fluctuations of cost of living. Compared to the 2022-23 fees plan, the usual 3% adjustment to the Tuition fee foresees an additional 2% increase due precisely to ISTAT changes. In fact, the school has chosen to absorb most of the inflationary increases that we are all unfortunately experiencing during this time (in October 2022, there was an 11.9% year-on-year increase in the cost of living – source: ISTAT). This is the same tuition plan presented last school year along with the new “Plus” educational programs.
The Boarding fees, for which it will be possible to register starting 22nd December, as well as the 31st January deadline for the reduced Registration fee (1.000 €) and the 5% reduction in the case of single solution payment remain unchanged. Compared to past years, for ease of consultation of the school fees, we have introduced a small change in the way the fees are indicated in the fees plan, incorporating the Tech fee within the Tuition fee.
An important change has been applied to the instalment payments, which from this year will be managed through an external partnership with a financial institution. Families will be able to choose between 8 and 11 monthly instalments with an initial administrative fee of 250 €, but with no additional costs or interest. In the next few days, we will give you specific indications on how to activate this payment option.
In conclusion, we would like to point out that this year, as a result of the aforementioned changes that have taken place and of the fact that the school IBAN Code has changed, you will be asked to sign again the enrolment contract, which, as in the past, will remain valid for subsequent years within a specific school programme. From year to year, you will then only be asked to confirm the re-enrolment in the subsequent class year, review the fee plan for the year and change any personal data that might have changed.
We deeply appreciate your collaboration and support, and we remain at your complete disposal for any further clarifications.
