Fees and admissions
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 of €1500. This covers administration costs and acts as a deposit. €1200 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 for 2020/21 is €1100 per year, payable in advance.
