Billing schedule and payment terms

- The fee regulations treat tuition as fixed annual costs; there is no entitlement to fee reduction for absences (illness, holidays, public holidays).
- The fee schedule includes a sibling discount: 10% discount on school fees for the second child; when three or more children are enrolled, each child (including the first) receives a 10% discount.

Boarding
- Boarding is not provided; OBS operates as a day school with services such as school meals, bus service, early and late care and holiday clubs.

Other chargeable items and typical additional costs
- School camps, study trips, winter sports days, cultural weeks, external examinations (IB, Matura) and voluntary language/computer diplomas are charged separately; examples of camp/trip cost ranges (school year 2025/26):
- Years 5–6 summer camp: approx. CHF 400–600 per stay.
- Years 7–9 camps: approx. CHF 600–1,200 per stay.
- Grade 10 camps: approx. CHF 900–1,500 per trip.
- Grades 11–12 study trips abroad: approx. CHF 900–1,800 per trip.
- These trip and camp charges are invoiced separately and based on actual costs.
- Early care (07:15–08:15), late care (16:00–18:30) and Wednesday afternoon supervision have supplementary fees when applicable (examples from the fee schedule: booked quarterly in advance CHF 10–CHF 61 depending on service; last-minute booking higher). Charges for late pickup after 18:30 are specifically set (e.g., CHF 60 for first 15 minutes, CHF 80 for each subsequent 15-minute interval). Holiday-care daily rate (from Preschool) example: CHF 150 per day.
- The school bus is provided by an external operator; bus stops and prices vary by route and are charged separately.

Refunds and non‑refundable items
- Application fee: non-refundable.
- Deposit: refundable only after the child has completed at least one academic year and all associated fees for that period have been paid; otherwise it may be forfeited.
- Registration fee for new entrants from Kindergarten (CHF 2,500) is payable on signing; the fee regulations set out that certain one-off payments are due on contract signature.
- Excursion, travel and external-provider costs (flights, train tickets, accommodation) are generally non-refundable by the provider and may still be charged if the child does not participate, except where a medical certificate for illness is provided in time, as detailed in the fee regulations.

Fee payment options
- Invoices are issued via eBill or as a PDF by e-mail; the fee regulations specify the invoicing channel and payment term (30 days) but do not list a specific set of payment instruments (e.g., credit card, direct debit) in the published fee regulations. Families receive an invoice and arrange payment according to the invoice instructions (eBill in Switzerland is commonly settled via electronic banking).
