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, 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. See the Enrolment fees table below for details.
A private coach service is also available which collects students in Alvor, Lagos and Bensafrim. The cost of this service for 2022/23 is €1100 per year, payable in advance.
