Introduction

The International School Delft (ISD) is an IB World School delivering a full continuum of International Baccalaureate from age 4 to 18. The Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP) are taught in English, with Dutch offered as the host-country language and home languages supported. The DP began in 2023/2024 with the goal of completing the continuum by 2024/2025, and students study across six subject groups with some Higher Level and others Standard Level courses. ISD emphasizes digital citizenship and 21st-century skills, using MacBooks for online learning in the Secondary School. The school maintains close links with Delft University of Technology, with campuses on TU Delft grounds: a primary campus on the TU Campus and an updated secondary campus opened in 2025/2026 with a capacity of 440 students. ISD is governed by Laurentius Stichting (Primary) and Lucas Stichting (Secondary), supporting a vertically aligned IB experience.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Invoicing: Invoices are sent by the school's invoicing system (WisCollect) by email; parents/guardians can download invoices and view payment status online. For the referenced academic cycle, invoices are issued at the end of May to current and confirmed incoming families.
- Payment timing when joining or leaving: a monthly pro‑rata schedule is applied for students starting or leaving during the school year (the school applies fixed percentage amounts depending on the month of entry or departure). Example percentages for amount payable on joining: August/September 100%, October 90%, November 80%, December 70%, January 60%, February 50%, March 40%, April 30%, May 20%, June/July 10%. Refund percentages on termination follow a defined scale (for example: termination in August–December yields up to 50% refund; January 40%; February 30%; March 20%; April 10%; May–July no refund). These month‑by‑month percentages determine final billed or refunded amounts.
- Instalment option: Tuition may be paid in instalments for the school fees only; the maximum number of instalments is up to eight (number depends on joining date). Instalment plans must meet due dates in the school's payment schedule and are confirmed by the school. There is a cut‑off for instalment eligibility for students joining after December of the academic year referenced. Instalment requests are handled by the school finance office.
- Non‑payment: Non‑payment may result in referral to external debt collection and additional costs charged to the family; persistent non‑payment may lead to referral of the student to a national public school programme.

Refund information

- Refund schedule on withdrawal: refunds are calculated against the full annual school fee using the month‑by‑month refund percentages. Withdrawals up to and including December will never yield more than a 50% refund; later months yield lower percentages down to 0% for withdrawals in May, June or July. The deposit refund is conditional on return of school property and settlement of all outstanding financial obligations.

Boarding

- Boarding provision: Boarding is not listed as a provision and no boarding fees are published for this school; therefore no boarding fees apply.

Other costs commonly payable by parents

- Uniform / clothing items: New student expenses include a school hoodie and PHE shirt for secondary; any further uniform items, if required, are charged separately or purchased as specified by the school.
- School trips, certain mandatory secondary activity fees, yearbooks, photos and specialist services are charged in addition to tuition as itemised above.

Fee payment options and banking details

- Accepted payment channels: online payment via iDEAL (preferred) or by bank transfer to the account indicated on invoices. Invoices are managed through WisCollect. Separate bank accounts are used for Primary and Secondary payments; there is a dedicated bank account for application fee payments. Clear beneficiary/account details appear on the invoice or payment instructions.

Deposit handling and conditions

- The EUR 500 deposit charged to new students is a one‑off charge, transferable if a student moves from Primary to Secondary, and refundable on leaving once school property has been returned and there are no outstanding financial obligations.
