Summary of our typical fees
Admission fee
To accept an offer of a place, you'll need to pay a non-refundable deposit of CHF 2,500. The admission fee is offered for preschool and a reduction applies to siblings.
For boarding students, we require an additional refundable deposit of CHF 10,000 to confirm enrolment. This deposit will be returned in full at the end of their time at Champittet, as long as you have met all financial obligations.
