Fee details	Fee details —	Fee details Tuition — published monthly rates (by year group, 2025/26 data) - Maternal (Early Years): BRL 6,319 per month. - Infantil 1 and Infantil 2 (Early Years): BRL 8,207 per month. - Fundamental 1 (Primary Years): BRL 8,841 per month. - Fundamental 2 (Middle Years): BRL 9,987 per month. - Ensino Médio / High School: BRL 10,987 per month. Per‑year and per‑term calculations (derived from the monthly amounts above) - Annual (simple calculation = monthly × 12): - Maternal: BRL 75,828 per year (BRL 6,319 × 12). - Infantil 1/2: BRL 98,484 per year (BRL 8,207 × 12). - Fundamental 1: BRL 106,092 per year (BRL 8,841 × 12). - Fundamental 2: BRL 119,844 per year (BRL 9,987 × 12). - Ensino Médio: BRL 131,844 per year (BRL 10,987 × 12). - Per term (if the academic year is divided into two semesters): treat each semester as six monthly instalments of the monthly fee (semester = monthly × 6). Example: Ensino Médio semester = BRL 65,922 (BRL 10,987 × 6). (This is an arithmetic conversion from the monthly figures above.) Application / enrollment fees - A one‑time enrollment (matrícula) or registration fee is commonly charged by schools of this profile. No single, official Red House matrícula amount for 2026/27 was published on the school's public pages; press and sector listings that compile school fee data do not report a single consistent matrícula figure for every campus and year. Where third‑party publications list matrícula values for similar schools, amounts vary by campus and year. Billing schedule and payment terms - Published monthly figures above are reported as “mensalidade” (monthly tuition). The monthly amounts shown are the basis used by market reports to present annual cost estimates. Specific billing schedules (for example: number of instalments, due dates, whether tuition is divided into 10, 11 or 12 instalments, or if there is an optional upfront discount) are not published in the public listings consulted. The monthly figures were used to calculate annual and semester totals in this overview. Boarding / residential provision - RED HOUSE operates multiple day campuses across São Paulo and other Brazilian cities; publicly available campus information and school descriptions present RED HOUSE as a network of day campuses and do not list boarding (internato) as an offered option. There is no published boarding fee because boarding is not presented as part of the school's campus offerings. Other costs and typical additional fees - Additional costs commonly associated with attendance at comparable international bilingual schools and noted in sector reporting include: school supplies and textbooks, uniforms, transport (bus), meals/cafeteria, after‑school or extended‑day programs, certain extracurricular activities and special language support where required. Specific line items and prices for uniforms, transport, meals, extracurriculars or mandatory development funds were not published in the fee summaries consulted for Red House; third‑party reports note that extra charges may apply depending on campus and student needs. Refund information - No detailed, campus‑specific refund policy or published schedule of refunds for withdrawal, cancellation or early termination of enrollment for the 2026/27 academic year was publicly available in the sources consulted. Refund and cancellation terms are typically defined in the school's enrollment contract; such contract terms were not published in the fee summaries used here. Fee payment options - Public fee summaries and sector reporting do not list a definitive payment methods table for each Red House campus in the materials reviewed. Institutions of this type commonly accept bank transfer, local bank payment slips (boletos), and in many cases card payments; however, an explicit, campus‑specific list of accepted payment methods for Red House was not published in the public fee summaries consulted. Notes on the data used here - The monthly tuition figures above are those reported in recent independent fee surveys and press listings compiled for the 2025/26 academic period; the school's public pages list campuses and program structure but do not publish a detailed, campus‑level 2026/27 fee schedule in the materials consulted. The tuition amounts in this overview were taken from those market reports and converted arithmetically to annual and semester totals where requested. Brief summary of gaps found (what I could not locate in published materials) - No single, official 2026/27 fee schedule with per‑campus matrícula (enrollment) amounts, instalment plan details (number of instalments, exact due dates), explicit refund policy wording, or an itemised list of uniform and transport fees was published in the public materials reviewed. The monthly tuition figures used come from independent market reporting.
