We combine a respected British academic foundation with a truly international student body, fostering a safe and supportive environment where children can thrive.
In addition, our school operates with a structured and professional approach, underpinned by clear policies and procedures that ensure consistency, high standards, and a well-organized learning environment. This structured framework benefits both students and staff, helping everyone achieve their full potential while maintaining a nurturing and collaborative atmosphere.
Admissions at BISL are open throughout the year, depending on availability. Families can begin the process by contacting our Admissions Team to arrange a personal visit of the school or, if they are abroad, an online meeting to learn more about our community.
Once a family decides that BISL is the right choice for their child, they submit the application form through our online portal. After all required documents are provided, the application is reviewed and approved by the Principal. Successful applicants then receive an offer letter confirming a place for their child.
To secure the place, families sign the offer letter and pay the initial admission charges:
€750 deposit (refundable under certain conditions)
€1,200 admission fee
Total: €1,950 per child
Once these fees are paid, the child’s place is officially reserved. Tuition fees can then be settled either in one annual payment or in three instalments, with the first instalment due before the student’s first day of school.
This structured admissions process ensures transparency and gives families peace of mind that their child’s place at BISL is secure.
