Contact channels are provided publicly for enquiries but payment method details are not published. Summary of search outcome - A search of the school's public admissions and community material located links and references to an economic‑regime document and to services (comedor, ruta, uniformidad, horario ampliado), but no downloadable or displayed fee schedule for the current academic year with concrete amounts, billing schedules, payment terms, boarding rates, uniform costs, refund rules or accepted payment methods was found.

Where the school's official, itemised billing schedule, payment-method policy, per‑term rates, uniform costs and refund policy are not published, no precise per‑term figures or formal refund-policy language could be confirmed from the school's public materials.
