- Upon departure, no diploma, transcript or other academic record may be released until all the student’s financial obligations toward the School are met in full.
Mid-year Enrollment

- The CAF and Newcomers’ Fee are not pro-rated; they are payable in full regardless of enrolment date.
Special Payment Plan
ISP has always had mechanisms in place to help families who require greater flexibility due to their financial circumstances. One of those mechanisms is a “Special Payment Plan” (SPP), which may be granted to Individual (not Corporate, i.e. not company, embassy, or other such payer) payers upon written request submitted in parallel with the Enrollment or Re-Enrollment Agreement. The SPP offers an installment plan with payments spread across four individual installments.The Administrative Fee for SPP is 25,000 CZK per child.
Those individual payers who would like to apply for the SPP, please complete this form and email it to invoicing@isp.cz.
Refunds
The Application Fee, Newcomers’ Fee, Capital Assessment Fee, and Re-enrollment deposit are, once paid, non-refundable under any circumstances.
Tuition is partially refunded in the event that a student withdraws from the School during the school year. The part of the Tuition that is to be refunded is calculated based on the number of financial quarters remaining in the school year subsequent to the financial quarter in which the student voluntarily departs for the rest of the school year. For example, a student withdrawing from the School during the second quarter will only receive a refund for the third and fourth quarters.
In cases where students are suspended or dismissed for unsatisfactory conduct or academic progress, all tuition and fees paid are non-refundable.
Special Note on ECF3/ECF4 Programme: Staffing and other needs are based on the number of students in the programme. For this reason, while full-day students may decide for any reason to move to the half-day programme, the school does not issue refunds in such cases.
