Fees and admissions – academic year 2025/26
There is a sliding scale for fees, which include full insurance for each student while they are under the supervision of Aljezur International tutors. Fees can be paid in one of three ways:
- annually, in advance
- per term, in advance
- in 10 equal monthly instalments (except for AS/A levels)
There is also an initial enrolment fee, which covers administration costs and acts as a deposit. The major partof this will be returned when the student completes their education with us or if a term’s notice is given before withdrawal of a student from the school.
A private coach service is also available which collects students in Alvor, Lagos and Bensafrim. The cost of this service is €1400 per year, payable in advance.
For most subjects we recommend certain books which can either be ordered by parents or bought through the school. The average cost of these books is €100 in total and, if bought through the school, we will reimburse the money when the student has finished with the book, dependent obviously on its condition.
