Fees	Fees
Fee details	Fee details Application / Enrollment fees - The school requires online enrollment and issues a matriculation (enrollment) record during admission. Official, current numeric amounts for the enrollment fee are not published publicly; families are asked to contact the school for the exact enrollment charge. - Public records and media reports have shown one-off enrollment charges reported in various contexts (examples reported: R$2,789 in a legal filing; some media articles have cited enrollment/registration amounts in the multiple-thousand‑reais range). These figures are third‑party reports and not the school's published schedule. Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year) - The school does not publish a public, line‑by‑line tuition schedule on its main public pages; therefore current per‑term and per‑year tuition tables for the 2026/27 academic year are not posted for public download. Families must obtain the exact tuition table from the school's admissions/finance office. - Media and third‑party compilations have listed approximate annual tuition ranges for Pueri Domus in past reports, indicating that tuition varies by stage (Early Years / Fundamental / High School) and by campus. These media figures should be treated as reported estimates rather than the school's official published schedule. Billing schedule and payment terms - Invoices and billing are managed through the school's financial portal (SSO / Grupo SEB financial services). The portal provides access to paid and future monthly invoices, monthly boleto issuance, and options for recurring credit or debit (automatic recurring charge). Families receive login credentials during the enrollment process. - The school issues monthly invoices (boleto) and supports automatic recurring payment; exact due‑dates and the school's standard billing calendar (monthly / termly deadlines, penalties for late payment) are shown on the family financial account and set at registration. Sibling discounts, loyalty and other discounts - The Perdizes unit manual specifies sibling discounts granted non‑cumulatively as: 2nd child 10%; 3rd child 20%; 4th child 30%; 5th child or more 50%. A separate loyalty (fidelity) discount of 1% of the annual fee is applied for each year of continuous enrollment and increases by 1% for each additional year, non‑cumulative. - The school's general contact/FAQ page also confirms sibling discounts but shows different percentage examples in that public FAQ; families should confirm the applicable discount level for their campus and year at enrollment. Boarding / Residential fees - Pueri Domus operates as a day school; there are no boarding or residential facilities and therefore no boarding fees. Other costs and typical additional fees - Material lists and school supplies: the school publishes detailed material lists by year (Lista de Materiais 2026 referenced for each year group). Families are expected to purchase required items listed for the student's year. Costs for materials are additional to tuition and vary by year group. - After‑school / extracurricular activities: the school operates an After School programme; participation in sports, cultural or partner‑led activities may carry separate charges and are started only when minimum participation numbers are met. Fees for these activities and for specific external partnerships are billed separately. - School trips and overnight field studies: trips carry separate costs. The school sets cancellation/refund rules for trips (examples: cancellations up to 30 days before departure receive 90% refund; between 29–21 days 80%; between 20–7 days 50%; less than 7 days no refund). Those rules apply specifically to study‑trip payments. - Administrative and service fees: the school charges fees for certain administrative services such as issuance of certificates and transcripts, second copies of ID cards, replacement of materials and other secretarial services; these specific fees are handled at the unit secretary and are itemized when requested. - Meals / lunch and extended‑day charges: the school provides options for lunch and for extended‑day care in Preschool and certain year groups; any extra charge for extended hours or meal plans is added to the family account in accordance with the chosen schedule. - Uniforms and school items: required uniform components and any branded items are specified on the material/uniform lists; costs for uniforms are borne by families. Refund and cancellation information - Refunds for study trips follow the explicit cancellation percentages listed above; trip cancellation conditions and refund percentages are defined in the unit manual. - The unit manual lists other feeed administrative charges (for example, fees for duplicate documents and certain services) and describes that event/activity fees are presented to families in advance; terms for tuition refunds on withdrawal or other general tuition refund rules are not published in the publicly available unit manual excerpt and must be confirmed directly by the school's finance office. Fee payment options - The school's financial system supports monthly boleto issuance and automatic recurring payment (credit or debit). Families can view invoices and set up recurring payment through the SSO / Grupo SEB financial portal. - Common payment methods used by Brazilian private schools (and supported via the portal or at the secretary) include boleto bancário and recurring card/debit arrangements; the school offers these electronic payment flows via its financial platform. Specific acceptance of international credit cards or foreign currency billing should be confirmed with the school's finance office. Summary of findings and limits - The school's publicly available pages and the unit manual provide clear policy details on sibling discounts, loyalty discounts, the financial portal and payment mechanisms, the existence of material lists for 2026, the After School programme and trip cancellation/refund rules. - The school does not publish a current, itemized tuition schedule (per term or per year group) on the public site; numeric tuition and the exact enrollment fee amount for the 2026/27 academic year therefore could not be extracted from official public materials. Third‑party media and public records contain some reported monetary figures, but those are not the school's posted official schedule and show variation. Families requiring exact per‑term and per‑year fees, the enrollment fee amount and the full, up‑to‑date billing calendar should obtain the official fee table directly from the school's admissions or finance office.	Fee details Application / Enrollment Fees - Enrollment (matrícula) fee: BRL 7,500.00 (one-time payment at enrollment). Tuition fees by year group (monthly amounts and annual total = monthly × 12) - Infantil 1 and Infantil 2 (Early Years): BRL 6,725.00 per month — annual (monthly × 12): BRL 80,700.00. - Fundamental 1 (Lower Primary): BRL 10,090.00 per month — annual (monthly × 12): BRL 121,080.00. - Fundamental 2 (Upper Primary / Lower Secondary): BRL 10,090.00 per month — annual (monthly × 12): BRL 121,080.00. Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is presented as a monthly fee (mensalidade). Specific billing schedule details — for example, number of installments per year, specific due dates, early‑payment discounts, interest/penalty rules or automatic-debit arrangements — are not published in the available public materials. Boarding fees - Boarding is not applicable. Stance Dual operates as a day school (example: early‑years schedule shown as 08:00–16:00), so there are no boarding/room‑and‑board charges. Other costs and recurring extras - Material fee / course materials: Some items (imported books, printed class packs, craft supplies) are charged separately or listed on the material lists; individual imported books or special items are indicated in school material lists and can range approximately BRL 30.00–BRL 50.00 per book/item where applied. - Uniform: Uniform requirements appear in the school's material/uniform lists for relevant year groups; costs for uniforms are additional to tuition and vary by item and supplier. - Extracurricular activities and after‑school programs: Some activities appear as complementary/optional services and may carry extra fees separate from the mensalidade. - International programmes / school trips: Participation in international programmes (examples include a 6th‑year Argentina program and longer 9th‑year programs abroad) involves additional program costs charged separately from tuition; actual trip fees depend on destination, duration and the services included. Refunds and cancellation - No publicly available, detailed refund or cancellation policy was found in the available school materials. Any refund rules (for enrollment fees, tuition prepayments, withdrawal mid‑year, or trip cancellations) are therefore not included here because they are not published in the accessible sources. Fee payment options - The school's published materials and public profiles list fees and material requirements but do not publish a comprehensive list of accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, boleto bancário, credit card, direct debit) or third‑party financing options; those details are not available in the public materials reviewed. Notes on published coverage and gaps - The items above list the school's published headline figures for enrollment and mensalidades and the typical additional cost categories that are indicated in school materials. Specific operational details that families commonly need for billing (exact installment counts, invoice/due‑date schedule, accepted payment methods, formal refund/cancellation terms, and fine/late‑payment rules) were not published in the publicly available documents reviewed and therefore are not included here.
