DISCOUNTS

ÜLEMISTE CITY DISCOUNT

All employees of Ülemiste City District can apply for a 5% discount on tuition fees of their children at IST.

PREPAYMENT DISCOUNT

Payment of the annual tuition fee in one installment allows for a 3% prepayment discount. To apply for a prepayment discount, the family must express their interest and be ready to pay the entire amount in one installment upon entry into the tuition contract. The prepayment discount will be applicable if the agreed amount is paid within 10 days after signature of the contract by the school.

Family discounts

The family discount is applicable to the families and households with at least two members studying at IST. The amount is calculated based on the entire annual fee. Family discounts are calculated based on the table below:

DISCOUNT DUE TO FINANCIAL REASONS

If the tuition fee proves exceptionally disproportionate to the family’s incomes, and it is evident that the family may face difficulties in covering regular expenses, IST may choose to reduce the amount of the tuition fee.

Important Notice

The previous discounts are not in any way cumulative: a family entitled to more than one of the discounts listed above must choose one discount system from which to benefit at the beginning of the school year (or before signing the contract).

Any discount agreement will go under revision between the end of a school year and the beginning of the next. International School of Tallinn is not bound to any previous decisions made in the favour of families in regards to discounts. The circumstances of each case are considered separately and from year to year. IST will take into consideration constrained budgets and other subjective or objective parameters in each academic year to determine the availability of tuition discounts.
