Payment of School Fees

Payment Option 1 – Payment in full

Tuition and fees are due and payable 30 days from the date of the invoice.

Payment Option 2 – Installment

Installment payments are applicable for tuition fees only; the capital assessment fee has to be paid by September 6, 2013 at the latest.

Payers wishing to pay in 3 installments must sign a payment agreement and pay additional EURO 900,- (nine hundred EURO) financing charge (EURO 600,- for Pre-K). The amount of each installment and the date when each of the installments is due and payable are stated in the schedule of fees attached.

Installment payment may be granted upon written request to the AIS Business Office. Requests for installment payments must be submitted by August 31, 2013 at the latest. No installment payments may be granted after the deadline.

Early Departures

For students leaving AIS before completion of the full school year, one quarter of the tuition will be refunded for those students leaving before the end of the first semester (for installment arrangements - the third installment need not be paid); students leaving after the end of the first semester will not receive any refund (for installment arrangements – all 3 installments have to be paid).

The application fee, the enrollment fee, the reservation fee and the capital assessment fee are all non-refundable. For students entering during the school year, tuition is charged for the full quarter in which the student is admitted, in addition to any remaining quarters, with the following exceptions: Students who enter between 01 January and the end of the first semester or 01 May and the end of the school year will be charged tuition on a daily pro-rata basis for the remaining days of the quarter of enrollment in addition to the full quarter fees for any additional remaining quarters.

Payments must be made in € (EURO). Any bank handling charges are to be borne in full by the remitter.

Late Payment

In the event of a late payment of any amounts due to AIS for more than two (2) weeks, arrears interest at the rate of 1% (one per cent) per month calculated from the day following the due date until receipt of payment by AIS is payable.

If a late payment continues for more than one (1) month, the Director of AIS at his/her discretion may terminate the schooling contract and disenroll the student by way of a notice in writing to the parent/guardian. In all other respects the provisions regarding “Early Departures” apply correspondingly. Legal costs incurred by AIS in the recovery of outstanding fees will be borne by the parent/guardian.

Third Party Payment

Parents/Guardians may inform AIS that a specific third party will pay the school fees on their behalf. It is, however, the responsibility of the parents/guardians to assure that the third party payments are made according to the school’s payment terms, and parents/guardians are liable for any outstanding balances of school fees including charges for late payments.
