Payment Policies

At ISH, we strongly believe that a clear and transparent payment policy will help the school make effective and justifiable decisions on payment, and reduce the need for appeals and claims of unfair treatment.

The International School of Hellerup is a not-for-profit private school that is recognised by and subject to Danish law and receives a subsidy from the Danish State, however, the school relies on the monthly school fees to cover operating expenses. Therefore it is very important that school fees are paid on time. Furthermore, according to auditing regulation and the provisions of the Ministry of Education, we cannot have debts of student payments, and hence we cannot keep a place in school for students who are not paid for.

In order to achieve fair treatment, we operate by the following policy at ISH:

You must sign up for Direct Debit – the form can be found in Administration as well as online.
Payments must be made by the fifth of the month and in advance.
If a monthly invoice is not paid by the date due, ISH will send out a 1^st reminder with the additional of 100 DKK late fee. The debt has to be payed within the next 10 days.
If the amount due is not received by the due date as stated in the 1^st reminder, a 2^nd reminder will be sent 10 days after the first reminder with another late fee of 100 DKK.
Should the amount due as stated in the 2^nd reminder not be paid on time, the family will get the 3^rd and last reminder. The 3rd reminder will be the last one. If it will be ignored your case will be sent to INKASSO and the child(ren) won’t be able to attend the school until payment is fully received.
The parents must respond to the reminders from the school, so that an action plan can be made.

If parents delay payments more than 3 times and don’t respond to the reminders, the child will be considered as withdrawn from school. OR If payment is still not received by the specified date, your place will be suspended and your child/children will not be able to attend the school until payment in full is received.

Student Withdrawal Policy

If a student is leaving the school during the school year, parents must notify the school by submitting a withdrawal form (available for download here) three months prior to the student’s last day at the school. Parents who fail to give sufficient notice will be charged school fees based on the date when the withdrawal form is submitted. If submitted by the 15^th day of the month, school fees will be charged for that month and two subsequent months. If submitted on the 16^th day of the month or later, school fees will be charged for the month notice was given and three subsequent months. If necessary, the school deposit will be kept and used to cover some of the three months payment.

School fees are charged until the end of the month. Please remember to also cancel your Direct Debit (PBS) payment.
