Discounts
Family discount
If more than one person (child or adult) attends from the same family, a family discount of 10-50% of the tuition fees may be granted.
Discounts are calculated so that discount is not given for the highest tuition fee, 10% for the next highest, 20% for the third, etc. The maximum family discount is 50%.
Example:
- Child 1: tuition fee €285, no discount
- Child 2: tuition fee €260, discount 10%
- Child 3: tuition fee €71, discount 20%
No application for family discount is required
Family discounts do not apply to open-studies students and club activities.
Free Student Places
Free student places are granted either in part or in full. The basis for granting a free student place is the familys income.
In September, applications can be made for free student places for the current school year. If your familys income has changed during the school year, you can apply for a free student place in January for the spring term.

Withdrawals and suspension of studies
If you wish to discontinue your studies, please contact the Kuula-opisto office by e-mail at kuula-opisto@vaasa.fi, or by phone 0400 430 131.
The date of notification will be recorded as the withdrawal date. It may affect the amount of tuition fees.
If a student withdraws or suspends their studies before the ninth lesson/week of the term, they will be charged 50% of the tuition fee. If the withdrawal or suspension occurs after the ninth week of instruction, the student will be charged the full tuition fee.
If a student starts in the middle of an academic year, only half the tuition fee will be charged if there are less than nine weeks left in the term. If there are at least nine weeks left, the tuition fee will be charged in full.
The tuition fee will only be reduced if the withdrawal is due to reasons beyond the student’s control, such as illness or other unforeseeable circumstances. The request should be made in writing to the Rector of Kuula-Opisto. The amount of the reduction is proportional to the number of classes missed/tuition fee.
If a new pupil withdraws from Music Playschool, Music Preparation or Dance-Music Mix before the fourth week of the term, the tuition fee will be waived in full.
If a student withdraws from an open studies programme, they will be invoiced for the number of lessons attended.
