Fee details	Fee details Application / processing fee - An application processing fee (derecho de tramitación del expediente de postulación) is charged at the time of submitting the application. The application file must include payment of this processing right as part of the admissions steps. One‑time entry fee (Cuota de ingreso) - The school charges a one‑time entry fee for newly admitted students. For the 2026 intake the published entry amounts include: - Kindergarten (3, 4 y 5 años): US$ 5,000. - Primer grado (Primaria K1): US$ 5,500. - The entry fee must be paid within seven (7) business days after confirmation of admission and must be fully settled at the time of formal enrolment; failure to pay in the indicated times may result in loss of the vacancy. The school applies differentiated entry‑fee levels and sibling/ex‑student reductions in its published schedule. Annual tuition and monthly pension (detailed by year group) - The school charges an annual educational cost composed of a matrícula (equal to one monthly pension) plus ten (10) monthly pensions. The monthly pension amounts and the annual total (10 pensions + matrícula) published for 2026 are: - Inicial (3, 4 y 5 años): Pensión mensual S/ 1,510.00 — Costo anual S/ 16,610.00. - Primer grado de Primaria (K1): Pensión mensual S/ 1,770.00 — Costo anual S/ 19,470.00. - De segundo grado de Primaria a quinto año de Secundaria (K2 a K11, EBR): Pensión mensual S/ 1,920.00 — Costo anual S/ 21,120.00. - Primer y segundo año del Programa del Diploma (K10 IB y K11 IB): Pensión mensual S/ 2,130.00 — Costo anual S/ 23,430.00.

For matriculation the school provides a virtual (SIEWEB) phase and a later presencial phase with specific dates. Payment of outstanding debts from prior years prevents completion of the matriculation. - Consequences of late or non‑payment: the school may charge interest at the maximum conventional moratory rate established by the Central Reserve Bank for non‑financial institutions, retain certificates of studies for unpaid periods, and take other recovery actions including reporting to credit bureaus and legal collection procedures. Boarding / residential provision - The Colegio Peruano‑Alemán Reina del Mundo operates as a day school (regular school hours listed and no boarding programme is advertised); there are no published boarding fees. Other costs and optional charges - School supplies and uniform: the school publishes grade‑specific lists of required materials that include uniform items; families are responsible for providing or acquiring required uniforms and supplies. The lists of útiles and uniform requirements are published by grade. - Meal/comedor service: the school runs a school‑meals procurement process for 2026; meal service is provided through a contracted provider and will normally represent an additional, separately billed service. - Optional educational insurance (protección de renta educativa): an optional school‑protection insurance program is offered; published premium examples show typical premiums in USD (illustrative premiums in sample documentation: US$141.00 and US$73.00 depending on coverage). This optional premium covers specified contingencies linked to continued payment of pensions under the policy terms. - Extracurricular or seasonal programmes: the school operates paid summer/holiday programmes and workshops; sample published prices include items such as S/. 320 for a short art workshop and S/. 1,500 for a summer programme package — these are billed separately from regular pensions. - Textbooks and materials replacement: families are required to return any school‑issued texts; lost or damaged books must be replaced or reimbursed by the family. Refunds and withdrawal handling - Return of the one‑time entry fee (cuota de ingreso) for withdrawal is governed by Peruvian education regulation (D.S. No. 005‑2021‑MINEDU); the school follows the rules established in that legislation for refund situations. The entry fee must be fully paid at the time and within the timeframe required to confirm the vacancy. Fee payment options and instructions - Available payment channels for matrícula and related school charges include: - PagoEfectivo (generate a PagoEfectivo code in SIEWEB and pay through the bank/applicable enterprise service). - Payment at collection windows of Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP) and Scotiabank using the student code. - Bank transfers to the school's designated collection accounts (accounts for CEP Mixto Reina del Mundo published for Scotiabank and BCP). Families are requested to send the payment voucher to tesoreria@rdm.edu.pe to speed up posting. Additional administrative notes (billing practice) - The annual cost is explicitly structured as matrícula + 10 monthly pensions; the school publishes a calendar for matriculation and for the monthly pension due dates each year. Families must be up to date with prior‑year obligations to complete new matriculation. Discounts and payment facilities are available in specific cases (siblings, ex‑students, and facilidades especiales en Kindergarten) as published by the school.

The entrance fee is used to reserve the vacancy and is payable immediately after acceptance; vacancies are reserved only once the entrance fee is paid. Boarding / residential fees - The school does not publish or offer boarding (internado) fees. The school lists an optional canteen (comedor) service whose cost is not included in the tuition; no separate boarding/internado service or boarding fees are listed. Other costs and what is included in the tuition - Items explicitly included in the pension from Kindergarten through 11th grade: notebooks and school supplies, agenda, book bank, reading plan, field trips and scheduled tours within the city, Cambridge International Examination fees (CIE) and choir and theater workshops. These items are covered by the indicated pension amounts for the relevant grades. - Items specifically excluded from the pension: the canteen (school lunch) is optional and its cost is not included in the pension. The school does not publish amounts for uniforms, private transportation (school bus), or optional after-school academy fees in the admission/fees pages; those costs are treated as additional and are not included in the pension figures above. Refunds and cancellations - No detailed public refund or cancellation policy for the matriculation fee, entrance fee (cuota de ingreso) or the pensiones is published in the admission pages or the terms and conditions. The admissions process indicates that the reservation of the vacancy is made with payment of the entrance fee and that vacancies not reserved within the indicated deadline will be assigned to the next candidate on the waiting list. For specific refund/cancellation terms related to matriculation, entrance fee or pensiones, no explicit schedule or percentages are published on the admissions or terms pages. Payment methods and practical payment details - The application (derecho de postulación) is paid (USD 140) and applicants are instructed to send the payment voucher by email to the admissions contact. This implies use of a bank deposit/transfer or other method that generates a voucher; the pages do not list a published online card-payment gateway or a credit-card acceptance policy for routine pension payments. - For foreign/diplomatic families, the entrance fee may be financed at USD 2,000 per year for up to three years; details and documentation requirements are listed with that option. Summary of items not published on the public admission/fees pages - The explicit amount of the matriculation (matrícula) fee is not published on the admission/tuition pages; the school states the annual cost is divided into one matriculation fee plus ten pensiones but does not provide the matriculation amount. The admissions pages also do not publish specific prices for uniforms, school-transportation (bus) fees, canteen price lists, or a full, itemized refund schedule for withdrawals. The admissions pages and the terms and conditions provide the payment structure, entrance-fee schedule and what is included in the pensiones but do not provide those specific line-item amounts.

Scholarships	Scholarships Scholarships are awarded by the Director in coordination with the Promoting Entity for economic reasons. Scholarships may be granted as a percentage of the current pension and only for the period requested; they do not cover the enrollment fee. Eligibility factors include orphan status and family economic need. Scholarships are typically awarded to the eldest child in the family; they do not apply to only-child families or to students in Early Childhood or in the Diploma Program. Applications for scholarships based on lack of resources require a joint request from both parents or the guardian, addressed to the Director, and must include: a sworn declaration that the family lacks resources to cover the pensions; documents proving family income and expenses as specified in the scholarship convocatoria; declarations of property and vehicles; any other documents requested by the Director; and payment of the processing fee (which may be waived in cases of death, incapacity, or imprisonment of the payer). For scholarships based on lack of resources, other required documents include the death certificate, medical certificate of incapacity, or court order as applicable. The Promoter and the Director evaluate scholarship requests and provide a response in the first half of January; in cases of orphanhood, incapacity, or imprisonment, the evaluation occurs within ten calendar days of submitting the request. The school reserves the right to verify the accuracy of scholarship requests and to request additional information. Scholarships may be suspended or reinstated based on the documented conditions and the child's academic and behavioral progression. Suspension for orphanhood is generally one quarter, with potential resumption if the circumstances change.	Scholarships —
Waitlist	Waitlist —	Waitlist There is a waiting list mechanism. There is a limited number of vacancies that varies by grade, and the vacancy is reserved by paying the entrance fee in the first week after the welcome letter. Vacancies not reserved within the indicated deadline are allocated to the next candidate on the waiting list. This waiting-list-based approach is noted in the admissions page.
