Fees for School Year 2026-2027

What do tuition fees include?

Tuition includes textbooks, everyday class supplies, field trips, most after-school activities, IB exams, and mild learning support. Lunch and daily transportation are not included.

Application Fee 

A non-refundable Application Fee of USD 150 (or PLN 600) covers the processing of an application. Applications will not be processed until the Application Fee has been received. Payment of the Application Fee does not guarantee admission. The Application Fee will not be charged for those who maintain active status on a waiting list based on a prior paid application (periodically updated document submission may be required).

Registration Fee 

Registration Fee is a one-time, non-refundable fee applied to newly enrolled students due upon admission to the School to confirm your student’s seat except as noted below:

  • Pre-Kindergarten students continuing into or entering Kindergarten pay a non-refundable Registration Fee of $8,000
  • Students re-enrolling in ASW who have previously paid the Registration Fee for Grades 1-12 are not required to pay this fee again

Payment Plans

For all of the above fees, payment plans are available for non-corporate payers. Installment plans associated with the Registration Fee, EAL Fee, and Learning Support fees may also be selected.  You may apply for one of our payment plans by contacting the Finance Office and selecting from our menu of options.

  • Optional fees may also be incurred and are invoiced on an as-needed basis for services such as: examinations (e.g. SAT, Independent Studies, laptop insurance, PE uniforms, some after school activities, exit packets if more than three requested, or the cost of transportation and accommodation for athletic or activity trips).
  • Lost or Damaged School Property: Students are billed at full replacement cost for lost and/or damaged computers, books, materials, equipment, and facilities, but refundable if the lost item is found and returned in good condition.

Corporate Partnership Programme

Priority Seat - $50.000: 8-year contract with corporations securing higher admissions priority and other benefits. To learn more about this option, please contact the Admissions Office at admissions@aswarsaw.org.

Invoices  

  • All fees are invoiced annually in advance of the school year.
  • Re-enrollment: A non-refundable seat deposit invoice of PLN 12,000 will be sent during semester 2. Payment of this fee by the due date will confirm your child’s continued enrollment to ASW, otherwise the seat will be made available to new applicants. The seat-deposit will be credited toward the tuition.

Failure to pay tuition or fees in full according to payment deadlines may result in temporary or permanent restriction from attending school; withholding of school reports, references, and/or examination results; or, in the extreme, loss of the student’s place in the school. Students with overdue balances exceeding 30 days may be restricted from attending classes until overdue balances are settled.
