Notes on the period used for calculations
- The school defines the academic year as 10 months; monthly tuition is published. Annual totals above are calculated as monthly × 10. Per-term examples above show the amount for a 5-month term (i.e., an academic year split into two equal terms) as an illustrative conversion from the published monthly rate.

Sibling discounts
- Published tuition discounts: second child 10% (tuition), third child 15% (tuition), fourth child 20% (tuition).
- Additional note in the admissions FAQ references a 15% discount on the acceptance fee for the second child and larger discounts for subsequent children on tuition in some cases.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school publishes tuition as a monthly charge and states the academic year lasts 10 months; published materials also reference promotions such as "first month free" for admissions. Annual billing is therefore tied to the 10-month academic year and the school issues invoices for tuition based on the monthly rate.
- After payment is completed, an electronic receipt/cheque is issued to the email provided at payment.

Fee payment options
- Credit/debit card: online payments via the Uniteller payment service (secure card payment page). An electronic receipt is sent after successful payment.

- BIC: 049205805.

Boarding fees
- The school operates as a full‑day day school (school day cited as 8:00–17:00 / main classes to 15:00 with CCAs thereafter). No boarding program or boarding fees are published. Therefore no boarding fees apply.

Other costs and optional charges
- Uniform: a uniform shop is operated for the Mavlyutova campus (uniform is purchased at the Singer atelier / on site). The school lists uniform as required but does not publish a fixed uniform price.
- Laptop: a personal laptop is required for students; the school lists a laptop as an item parents must purchase. Cost is not published.
- Co‑curricular activities (CCAs): most CCAs are included, but some CCAs and certain extracurricular activities are charged additionally; specific activity fees are not published.
- Educational trips and other program-specific charges: the school runs educational trips and some trips or specialist activities may require additional payment; specific trip fees are not published.

Refund information
- A refund ("Возврат") policy is linked in the school's admissions and information material; the school issues electronic receipts after payment. The detailed refund terms are governed by the school's contractual documents and the refund policy referenced by the school. The published materials do not include a full text of specific refund percentages or schedules in the admissions summary; the refund policy is linked for full contractual conditions.

Summary of billing practicalities for a parent
- Tuition is published as a monthly rate in RUB; multiply the published monthly figure by 10 to obtain the published annual tuition. Published promotions and discounts (including sibling discounts and a first-month-free admission promotion) and one-off registration/enrollment fees apply as shown above. Payments are accepted by card (Uniteller) and by bank transfer to the school's listed bank account; an electronic receipt is issued after payment.
