Fees
Application fees
- No application fee is charged for admission to the school's state-funded programmes, including entry to general gymnasium classes and to the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP).

Tuition fees (by year group and term)
- There are no tuition fees charged to students enrolled in the school's state-funded programmes. This applies to all year groups; there are no per-term or per-year tuition charges for state-enrolled students.
- The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is offered as a government‑funded programme within the school; the school does not levy a separate IB tuition charge for enrolled IB students.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Because the regular school programme is state-funded, there is no recurring tuition billing schedule for standard enrolment (no termly or annual tuition invoices for state-funded students).
- When optional paid items are offered (for example: preparatory courses, organized excursions, extra-curricular paid services, or special materials), those items are billed per activity or per event. Advance payments, deposits and final settlements for paid activities are handled according to the contractual/payment terms for each activity (advance-payment and final-settlement clauses are used for contracted activities).

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school does not operate an on-site boarding house. Student accommodation, when required, is provided through regional student dormitories (дом ученика); any accommodation fees are set and charged by those dormitory institutions, not by the school.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, textbooks, materials, trips, optional courses)
- Textbooks and standard school learning materials are the responsibility of the family; the school publishes required textbook lists and reading lists for relevant year groups. Costs for textbooks and stationery should be budgeted by parents.
- Optional preparatory classes and extracurricular activities are scheduled by the school and may require a separate fee when offered; those fees are charged per course or per session where applicable.
- School excursions and similar optional trips are charged separately when organized; contractual terms for such excursions include provisions on advance payments and refunds where an advance is taken.
- There is no compulsory uniform fee assessed by the school as part of standard enrolment; personal clothing and everyday supplies are provided by families.

Refund information
- Because the core school programme is state-funded and carries no tuition, a tuition-refund policy for regular enrolment is not applicable. For paid optional activities (preparatory courses, excursions, contracted services), refund and advance‑payment procedures are governed by the specific contractual terms for each activity; contractual documentation for excursions and public procurement includes standard clauses addressing return of advance payments and final settlement.

Fee payment options
- Payments connected to school finances and contracted services are processed through standard banking/payment methods (payment orders / bank transfers, documented bank confirmations and accounting entries). Official payment and accounting procedures rely on bank payment instruments and treasury transfer mechanisms for institutional funds. Credit-card payment capability is not described as a standard method for school fees or contracted activity payments.

Summary (what parents should budget for)
- No application or tuition fees for state-funded enrolment or for the school's government‑funded IB DP; therefore no termly/yearly tuition invoices for enrolled students.
- Usual parental costs are textbooks, stationery, personal supplies, and any voluntary paid items such as preparatory courses, extracurricular programmes, and excursions (each charged separately when provided). Payment for charged activities is handled per event and normally via bank/transfer/payment order procedures; refunds for paid activities follow contractual provisions.
