- Billing schedule: tuition and study fees are invoiced in five instalments (September, November, January, March and May; each invoice covers two months of schooling). Other fees may be billed separately.
- Invoices are sent 15 days before the due date. Late or unpaid invoices trigger a first reminder (15‑day extension) and, absent payment or contact, referral to debt recovery; prolonged unpaid debt may affect the pupil's access to classes and future re‑enrolment.
- Payment methods and banking details: domestic payment by bank transfer to the DNB account with a KID reference number; international payments by IBAN (NO0878770828502) and BIC (DNBANOKKXXX). A direct debit service (AVTALEGIRO) is available for the five tuition invoices for families with Norwegian bank accounts. Transaction/banking charges are borne by the payer. The invoice number and pupil name must be referenced on the transfer.
- The school charges NOK 600 for a paper duplicate of an invoice and NOK 600 per payment certificate issued.
Boarding (Internat)
- Boarding is not provided; there are no boarding fees published for this school.
Refunds, cancellations and notice periods
- General withdrawal: a written notice of three months is required for cancellation during the school year; the three‑month notice applies to tuition and other paid services. The notice starts the month after the written notification is received. For departures at the end of the school year, written notice must be received by 31 March; otherwise the three‑month notice still applies and invoicing may extend into the next school year.
- Re‑enrolment advance (one month's tuition): refundable if cancellation is made before 1 May of the previous school year; not refundable from 2 May onward. When re‑enrolment advance is charged, it is deducted from the first invoice of the next year.
- Deposit guarantee (NOK 2,600) is refunded, without interest, after the pupil's departure subject to full settlement of all invoices; the payer must supply bank details for the refund.
