| Quarterly payments should be made by the following dates: |
1st Quarter : 30th September 2nd Quarter : 31th January 3th Quarter : 30th April |
1. Enrolment
Registration is definitive once the Initial Registration Fee has been paid.
In the event of cancellation of registration, the fees paid will not be reimbursed.
2. Renewals of enrolment
Renewals of enrolment in the LFIP, for a new educational year, should be made before February 29st of the current year.
When enrolling a pupil, the parent must provide the requested information by using our platform, and pay the enrolment fees.
In the event of cancellation of re-registration, the services paid will not be reimbursed.
3. Dates for payment of tuition fees (cf. Current fees)
Monthly payments must be made in advance before the 10th of the relevant month using the "Multibanco" payment option.
Quarterly payments should be made by the following dates:
- First quarter – by the 30th of September or on the last business day of the month.
- Second quarter - by the 31st of January or on the last business day of the month.
- Third quarter - by the 30th of April or on the last business day of the month.
If these deadlines are not met or the direct debit payment method is rejected, quarterly payments will be automatically converted to monthly payments over 10 months.
If the person or institution in charge of the fees wishes, he or she can opt for:
- annual payment, but before 30 June of the current school year
- monthly payment of 10 or 11 monthly instalments, from September to June or July. In this case, this should be explicitly indicated during the registration process. The monthly instalment is payable in advance up to the 10th day of the relevant month.
After choosing a payment method, it will not be possible to change it during the current school year.
4. Discounts
Families which enrol more than one child in the LFIP will be entitled to discounts.
The discounts will be applied to the tuition fees of the children in the lower grades of education.
- 10% for the second child
- 20% for the third child
- 40% for each of the following children.
5. Payment of services
a) The optional services (cafeteria, transportation and extracurricular activities) are paid according to the terms described above for the payment of tuition fees.
b) Other services are paid on receipt of the invoice.
In the case of overnight school trips, the school management will refuse enrolment if the school fees are not paid by the due date chosen by the family.
6. Late payments
All late payments will be increased by 5%. Any delay in payment prior to the start of the following school year will prevent the re-enrolment of the student and, therefore, his or her inclusion in the class list of students in September.
After sending two unanswered emails, the regularization request will be handled by the LFIP lawyer, at no cost to families. At the end of the school year, if the tuition fees have not been paid and after the Management Committee's decision, the lawyer will begin the necessary legal proceedings to recover the unpaid amount.
7. Withdrawal
In the event of withdrawal, any sums already paid cannot be reimbursed under any circumstances and all services relating to the period already started (month or term) must be paid for.
8. Reduction of payments due to absence
There will not be any reduction or discount in payments for absences or for not using the services, regardless of the reason.
9. Special discounts
- Schooling: any quarter which has already begun must be paid in full. However, a discount can be made in case of unforeseen circumstances, upon written request.
- Cafeteria and transportation: a temporary absence of more than 15 consecutive days due to illness, not including school holidays, may be reason for a refund. In this case, it will be necessary to submit a written request together with a medical certificate.
By accepting the financial regulations, the parents express their agreement with the established regulations, and may not, subsequently, express any disagreement or lack of knowledge of the same.
