Fees
Summary
- Geitonas School (Εκπαιδευτήρια Γείτονα) does not publish a public schedule of numeric tuition or application fees for the 2026/27 academic year (nor for 2025/26). The school confirms that tuition covers educational material but does not list per-term or per-year amounts on publicly available admissions or enrollment pages.
Application fees
- No numeric application or registration fee is publicly listed for new admissions. There is no published, itemised application-paragraph showing a specific euro amount for an application or enrolment fee on the school's admissions or registration pages.
Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group)
- The school does not publish tuition amounts broken down by year group or by term for the 2026/27 academic year (nor for 2025/26) in publicly available documents. The only published statement about fees indicates that tuition includes educational material. No per-grade, per-term or per-year numeric fees are available on public admissions/enrolment pages.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Payment methods accepted for enrolment-related payments: credit card or deposit to a bank account (bank transfer). This is indicated in the school's registration/payment information. Specific instalment schedules (for example, number of instalments, exact due dates for tuition instalments) are not published on the publicly available enrolment pages.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Geitonas operates as a multi‑stage day school (Early Years through IB Diploma) and does not publish any boarding provision or boarding fees. There is no publicly available boarding-house or residential fee schedule. Geitonas therefore should be treated as a day-only school for fee purposes.
Other costs and mandatory/optional extra charges
- The school states that tuition includes educational material. Other specific extra costs (for example, school transport, optional extracurricular programmes, uniform, examination/IB fees) are not listed with numeric amounts in the publicly available admissions material. A school notice about scholarships specifies that awarded scholarships apply to basic tuition and do not include transport by school bus or other optional activities, indicating that transport and optional activities are billed separately.
Refund and cancellation information
- For short programmes and specific enrolment events the school publishes a cancellation policy showing staged charges (example for a short 5‑day programme): 50% of fees is invoiced and charged for cancellations submitted in writing between 1 and 20 June; 100% of fees is invoiced and charged for cancellations submitted in writing on or after 23 June or for non‑attendance. This cancellation text is published in the school's registration material for that programme. No separate, generalised refund policy for standard annual school tuition (regular school‑year enrolment) with numeric refund terms is published on the public enrolment pages.
Fee payment options
- Accepted payment methods shown in the school's registration information: credit card payment and payment by deposit into a bank account (bank transfer). No additional online payment processors or card surcharges are itemised in the publicly available pages.
Scholarships and discounts affecting fees
- The school runs academic scholarship competitions. For example, for the 2026–2027 cycle the school announced academic scholarships affecting tuition (including specific reductions such as a €3,000 discount for top performers entering IB DP1 in previous announcements). Scholarship awards are described as reductions on basic tuition only and explicitly exclude costs such as transport or optional activities. Exact scholarship amounts and terms are published in the school's scholarship notices.
What is available in the school's public material (relevant to fees)
- A clear statement that tuition covers educational material is published. The school's registration material for short programmes lists accepted payment methods and specific cancellation terms for those programmes. Scholarship notices specify that scholarships reduce basic tuition and do not cover transport or optional activities. There is no public, itemised tuition schedule by year group, no published application fee amount, no published per-term billing calendar, and no published boarding fee schedule.
Practical note for database entry
- Where numeric amounts are required (application fee, tuition per year/term, boarding), enter “Not published” or leave the numeric field blank and note the available qualitative items: (a) tuition includes educational material, (b) payment by credit card or bank deposit accepted, (c) scholarships reduce basic tuition but exclude transport/optional activities, (d) cancellation terms for short programmes (50% / 100% banding) are published for event‑based enrolments.
