Enrollment Fees

Name	Fee	Conditions

Application and acceptance fees
- Preschool application fee: NOK 1,000, payable on entry.
- Acceptance fee for all schools: one month's school fees are charged on receipt of the acceptance form; this amount is deducted from the first invoice. If a place is accepted and the child does not attend, the acceptance fee is not refundable.

Tuition fees by year group (annual and per-invoice amounts)
- BISS Preschool (100% / 5 day place, 07:30–16:30): NOK 13,200 per year (equivalent to NOK 1,200 per month). A Preschool Snack Programme option is charged separately at NOK 1,650 per year (NOK 150 per month).
- BISS Gausel (Primary PYP1–PYP6 and Secondary MYP1–MYP5): NOK 44,800 per annum. The school publishes this as equivalent to NOK 4,073 per month when invoiced over eleven monthly instalments.
- BISS Sentrum (Primary and Secondary): NOK 44,800 per annum, presented as NOK 4,073 per month over eleven monthly instalments.

Per-term detail and how to interpret invoice instalments
- The school issues invoices in eleven monthly instalments; the per-invoice amount for an annual fee of NOK 44,800 is NOK 4,073 (44,800 ÷ 11). This is the published instalment schedule used for invoicing.
- The school does not publish a formal termly invoicing schedule on the fee pages; converting the annual figure into a term amount requires an arithmetic division (for example, dividing the annual fee by three if you prefer a three-term estimate). That conversion is an arithmetic estimate and not an official invoice schedule.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Invoices are sent to parents; parents have sole responsibility for payment. Invoicing for school fees is done in eleven monthly instalments. Children who join mid-year are invoiced from the first of the month in which they join, regardless of the child's actual start date during that month.
- Withdrawal notice and charge: notice begins from the 1st of the month following submission of the withdrawal form. The withdrawal fee is equivalent to three months' fees at the current rate; if the leaving date is sooner than three months, the full withdrawal fee (equivalent to three months' fees) will be charged. The three months' notice period includes holiday periods.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- There is no boarding provision listed for BISS Preschool, BISS Gausel or BISS Sentrum; the schools operate as day schools (Preschool, Primary and Secondary). No boarding fees are published.

Other costs and optional services
- Preschool Snack Programme: NOK 1,650 per year (NOK 150 per month).
- After-school care (SFO) at BISS Gausel (PYP1–PYP6): monthly charge for a 100% place is NOK 3,188; monthly charge for a 60% place (three days per week) is NOK 2,194. There is no sibling discount for SFO; refunds are not made for illness or holidays for SFO.
- School clothing / uniform: school fees do not cover school clothing. Uniform items are purchased separately from the school's supplier (Trutex Europe) using the school LEA code; parents choose delivery options (ship-to-school or home delivery) and handle returns through the supplier's customer service. Uniform cost is separate and paid to the supplier.
- Extra-curricular clubs, school trips and specific course materials: such items may incur additional charges where explicitly arranged; SFO and the Preschool snack programme are examples of such charged services. Specific charges for clubs or trips are published only where applicable.

Refunds and returns
- Acceptance fee refund: the acceptance fee (one month's fee) will be deducted from the first invoice and is not refundable if a place is accepted and the child does not attend.
- Withdrawal fee: when a pupil leaves, the withdrawal fee equivalent to three months' fees will apply if notice is shorter than three months; the three-month notice period includes holidays.
- SFO refunds: refunds are not made for illness or holidays for SFO places.
- Uniform returns and refunds: uniform returns and refunds are handled by the uniform supplier (Trutex); the supplier processes refunds through its tracker and bank refunds may take several working days to clear. Parents must follow the supplier's returns process.

Fee payment options and contact for payment queries
- The fee pages state that invoices are sent to parents and that parents are responsible for payment, but specific public details of accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, card payment options) are not listed on the published fee pages. For queries about reduced payments or accounting matters the published contact is accounting@biss.no; school office email addresses for each campus are also provided for general enquiries.

Summary of key headline figures (annual)
- BISS Preschool (100% / 5 day): NOK 13,200 per year; Preschool application fee NOK 1,000; Preschool snack programme NOK 1,650 per year.

The British International School of Stavanger (BISS) Gausel Campus provides an English-medium education for children aged 18 months to 16 years. Delivering the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP), the school serves a large expatriate and local community in Norway. The campus features specialized spaces for music, library study, and physical education, split between upper and lower school buildings. A defining feature of BISS Gausel is its Outdoor Education initiative; teachers regularly leverage the nearby fjords and woodlands to incorporate nature directly into scientific inquiry and physical activity. Students also have access to distinctive extracurricular programs hosted directly on-site, most notably the 1st Stavanger Scout Group (part of British Scouting Overseas) and a dedicated Private Music Academy. Norwegian is taught as a required subject, helping international students successfully navigate and integrate into their new local culture.
