Application / Registration fee
- Registration (inscripción): MXN 10,000 (one-time, charged at enrollment).
Tuition fees by school level (per month and annual illustration)
- Nursery / Maternal / Guardería: Monthly tuition MXN 8,450; registration MXN 10,000; approximate additional fees reported MXN 350 (where applicable). Annual cost calculated from monthly rate is consistent with the school's published level listings.
- Secondary (Secundaria): Monthly tuition MXN 12,410; registration MXN 10,000; approximate additional fees MXN 350. Reported annual cost example for secundaria: MXN 165,470 (annual total as shown by the same fee compilation source).
- High School / Preparatoria (Bachillerato): Monthly tuition MXN 14,456; registration MXN 10,000; approximate additional fees MXN 350 (where applicable).
Billing schedule and payment terms
- The publicly available fee summaries list registration as a one-time enrollment charge and state monthly tuition amounts by level. Specific published billing schedules (for example: exact invoice dates, whether tuition is billed monthly, by term, or annually, penalties for late payment, or available discounts for full-year prepayment) are not published in the sources consulted. Parents are typically charged the registration fee at enrollment and the tuition amount on a regular schedule consistent with the monthly figures above.
Boarding / Residential fees
- Boarding is not applicable; Atid operates as a day school (Preschool through High School) with no residential/boarding program listed in the school's public descriptions of its levels and programs.
Other costs and recurring extras
- Meal service (comedor / food): available as an additional paid service; costs are charged separately from base tuition.
- School insurance: listed as an additional cost in fee summaries.
- Uniforms and school supplies: families should expect separate charges for uniforms and school supplies; specific uniform prices are not published in the referenced fee listings.
- Extracurricular activities / after-school programs: may carry their own fees in addition to tuition.
Refund information
- No publicly posted, itemized refund policy (for registration, tuition prepayments, or withdrawal) was found in the consulted public fee summaries and admissions material. Specific terms for refunds, tuition adjustments on mid-term withdrawals, and related administrative refunds are not published in the available sources.
Fee payment options
- Specific payment methods accepted (for example: credit card, bank transfer, direct debit, or in-person payments) are not detailed in the publicly available fee summaries or admissions pages consulted. Typical practice at comparable private schools is to offer bank transfer and card payment options, but no definitive, published list of accepted payment methods for Atid was found in the sources reviewed.
Academic year and source note
- The numeric fee figures above derive from the most recent publicly compiled fee summaries located during the review; those summaries were compiled externally and reflect published monthly tuition and registration figures. The school's own admissions pages list grade levels and contact details but do not publish a full, itemized fee schedule and billing terms online. Because a current, school-published 2026/27 or 2025/26 official fee schedule was not available in the public materials consulted, the amounts above reflect the most recently available public fee data compiled for the institution.
If you require these numbers displayed in a specific format for your database, they are provided above in MXN amounts as published in the available public fee summaries.
Tuition (Colegiatura) — monthly and annual (school-year) by level - Preschool (Preescolar): MXN 8,478 per month. Annual tuition (11 monthly payments, August–June): MXN 93,258. When combined with the registration fee the first-year cost for tuition + inscription = MXN 110,960 (registration + 11 months of tuition). - Primary (Primaria): MXN 10,871 per month. Annual tuition (11 monthly payments, August–June): MXN 119,581. Registration + 11 months of tuition = MXN 142,510. Additional listed “other fees” for Primary: MXN 2,950 (applies in addition to inscription and monthly tuition). - Middle School (Secundaria): MXN 13,252 per month. Annual tuition (11 monthly payments, August–June): MXN 145,772. Registration + 11 months of tuition = MXN 171,930. - High School / Preparatoria (Preparatoria / Bachillerato): MXN 14,035 per month. Annual tuition (11 monthly payments, August–June): MXN 154,385. Registration + 11 months of tuition = MXN 181,267.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is billed in 11 monthly payments for the school year (payments run August through June). Payments are due within the first ten days of each month; payments made after that date incur interest for late payment. Re-enrollment is conditioned on timely payment of tuition. Failure to pay three or more monthly tuitions authorizes the school to suspend educational services for the student. Other (non-inscription/colegiatura) payments are made at the school's payment office. Requests for refunds must be submitted at the campus that issued the invoice.
Boarding fees - Boarding: Not applicable. Escuela Tomás Alva Edison is a day school and does not provide boarding services. Transport is provided as a separate, paid service.
Other costs and recurring extras - Transport (servicio de transporte escolar): charged separately for the school-owned transport service; routes and fees vary by route and are billed in addition to colegiatura. Payments for transport are handled through the school's payment channels. - After‑school / extended‑hours program (TAE Plus): after‑school workshops and extended-care services have separate fees and enrollment; program details and schedules are published for each academic year and are charged in addition to tuition. - Uniforms, school supplies, extracurricular activity fees, field trips, exam/certification fees (Cambridge, IB external examination costs where applicable), meal plans and similar items are additional and billed separately. Other one-off or occasional charges are processed at the school's cash office.
Refund information and cancellation - Written notice of a student withdrawal delivered at least 60 calendar days before the start of the school year entitles the family to a 100% refund of the inscription (registration/re‑registration) fee. If the written notice is provided after that 60‑day period, families are eligible only for a refund of any tuition payments they have paid in advance but not for inscription/re‑registration payments. Refund requests must be submitted at the campus where the invoice was issued. Tuition amounts will not vary during the corresponding school year.
Fee payment options - Accepted payment methods include credit and debit card payments at the school's payment terminals and bank transfers. The school operates an online payments portal for family payments and issues invoices through the campus; any changes to payment channels are communicated by the school.
Discounts and concessions - The school runs a referral benefit that grants a tuition discount (example: a 10% tuition discount for the 2026–2027 school year under the referral programme); other discounts, sibling concessions or financial aid may be available under the school's policies and are applied according to the school's terms.
