School Fees for 2011-2012
ISO is supported almost entirely by the money received from the tuition paid by the students it serves. Although we do everything in our power to keep our fees as low as possible, rising costs for personnel, educational materials, and supplies make it necessary to raise the fees from time to time. For the 2011-2012 school year, the annual tuition fees are as follows:
Registration Fee
- K-12 € 205 one-time fee (non-refundable)
Yearly Facility Fee

An annual capital levy fee is payable at a rate of 500 Euros per year during pre-school years and 1,000 Euros per year per student during normal school years, up to a maximum of 5,000 Euros, and is non-refundable.
