- Nursery: EUR 4,370.39 per year.
- Primary: EUR 6,009.36 per year.
- Secondary: EUR 8,194.57 per year.

Per‑term amounts (calculated)

• Per‑term figures below are calculated by dividing the annual fee by three (annual ÷ 3) to show an equal three‑term split. Use these only as an arithmetic breakdown; the school's invoicing may follow its own schedule.

• School‑specific Category III (other Category III) — per term (annual ÷ 3):
- Nursery: EUR 4,284.70 → EUR 1,428.23 per term.
- Primary: EUR 5,897.53 → EUR 1,965.84 per term.
- Secondary: EUR 6,555.66 → EUR 2,185.22 per term; if enrolled after 31/08/2013: EUR 8,033.89 → EUR 2,677.96 per term.

• NATO/UN group — per term (annual ÷ 3):
- Nursery: EUR 8,569.40 → EUR 2,856.47 per term.
- Primary: EUR 11,795.06 → EUR 3,931.69 per term.
- Secondary: EUR 13,111.32 → EUR 4,370.44 per term; if enrolled after 31/08/2013: EUR 16,067.78 → EUR 5,355.93 per term.

• Secretary‑General consolidated Brussels Category 3 (reference) — per term:
- Nursery: EUR 4,370.39 → EUR 1,456.80 per term.
- Primary: EUR 6,009.36 → EUR 2,003.12 per term.
- Secondary: EUR 8,194.57 → EUR 2,731.52 per term.

Billing schedule and payment terms

• A 25% non‑refundable deposit of the annual school fee is a prior condition for enrolment or continuation of studies; an invoice for the deposit will be issued and must be paid before the start of the school year. The deposit is expressly non‑refundable.

• An invoice for the school charges (balance and other charges) is sent after the start of the school year (the school issues this invoice in October for the start‑of‑year billing cycle). That invoice must be paid by bank transfer within the deadline specified on the invoice. The school permits requests for payment by instalments in cases of financial difficulty (written request).

• If school fees remain unpaid or are only partly paid at year end, the pupil may be removed from the school list and will not be admitted to any European School the following school year (in accordance with the General Rules of the European Schools).

Boarding / accommodation

• The European School Brussels IV does not operate as a boarding school. There are no boarding fees listed. Transport and day‑time services are provided by the school or by the APEEE (parents' association) and are billed separately.

Other costs and recurring charges

• The school fee invoice covers items such as the compulsory standard school agenda, insurance, photocopies and similar school charges; these are billed per year and per child. Locker rental (secondary pupils) is charged for the entire Secondary cycle (seven years) and, if the pupil leaves early, the school refunds the difference pro rata. Sports kit items (primary: t‑shirt and shorts; secondary: t‑shirt) and a swimming cap for specified primary years are required and must be ordered from the school supplier. The Parents' Association (APEEE) runs the canteen, bus services and extracurricular activities; these services carry separate fees charged by the APEEE.

Refund and cancellation information

• The 25% enrolment deposit is non‑refundable. Locker rental is refundable pro rata if a pupil leaves before the end of the Secondary cycle. The school permits written requests for partial exemptions or instalment arrangements in cases of financial difficulty; full exonerations are not allowed. If fees remain unpaid at the end of the school year, the pupil may be removed from the rolls.

Accepted payment methods

• School tuition and school‑charge invoices are to be settled by bank transfer within the invoice deadline. The school's formal billing instructions indicate bank transfer as the payment method for the school fees; instalments can be requested in writing. APEEE services (canteen, buses, extracurricular activities) are administered and invoiced separately by the APEEE and follow their own payment arrangements.

Sibling reductions and special conditions

• For families with more than one child at the school in the same Category III group, reductions apply: for Category III pupils enrolled before 01/09/2013 the second child is charged at 50% of the rate; for Category III pupils enrolled after 31/08/2013 the second child is charged at 80% and subsequent children at 60% of the full rate. Written requests for partial exemption or instalment arrangements may be considered in cases of financial difficulty.

Notes

• The figures above are those published for the 2025/2026 academic year where applicable and where the school provides a school‑specific breakdown. The Secretary‑General's consolidated Category 3 figures for Brussels (2025/2026) are provided as a cross‑school reference.
