School Fees

Please note that the school fees (minerval) are invoiced separately from the school expenses.

A deposit of 25% of the school fees must be paid before June 30 for the following school year. The remainder of the fee will be invoiced in September of that school year.


IMPORTANT

The Board of Governors of the European Schools is the body with exclusive jurisdiction over fees. Should this body subsequently decide on modification rates in all cases, that decision would take precedence over this information.

Categories

School fees depend on the following categories:

  • Category I: Pupils who have to be admitted by the European Schools. These pupils are exempt from school fees.
  • Category II: Pupils covered by individual agreements or decisions, each entailing specific rights and obligations for the pupils concerned, particularly as regards school fees.
  • Category III (*): Pupils who do not belong to categories I & II. These pupils would be admitted to the European Schools in so far as places are available, in accordance with an order of priority listed here. The ordinary school fees fixed by the Board of Governors would be payable for these pupils.

(*) In Category III, a distinction exists between

  • a) pupils enrolled in Category III from the 2013-2014 school year
  • b) pupils already enrolled in Category III during the 2012-2013 school year
  • c) children of NATO and UN civilian staff; please contact Ms Sandra BEYNE for more information on the school fees
