School day structure

Hours: Monday through Friday, 7:00am–4:00pm.

Application / enrollment (matrícula) fees
- The school requires payment of an enrollment (matrícula) fee at the time families sign the contract and complete admission steps.

Tuition fees by year group (amounts per term / per year)
- The school does not publish a public, itemised schedule of tuition (monthly/term/annual) amounts for each year group on its public admissions or policy documents. No per-year tuition figures suitable for direct entry into a fee database were found in the school's published admission or policy materials.

Billing schedule and payment terms (general)
- Enrollment (matrícula) payment is required during the registration process as part of finalising the contract. Payment for matrícula is accepted via bank connectivity through authorised banks and via BN Servicios.
- For the optional student transport service, monthly payments are collected from February to November; additionally there is a fixed charge in December of ₡31,425 (IVA included). Transport monthly fees are due within the first 10 days of each month; late payment incurs a penalty of ₡5,000. Sibling discounts apply: 10% for the second sibling, 15% for the third sibling and an extra 5% per sibling from the fourth onward.

Boarding / residential fees
- Centro Docente Miravalle does not operate a boarding/residential programme; no boarding fees are published. The school's program descriptions list Pre‑school, Primary and Secondary offerings and student services but make no reference to on‑campus boarding.

Student transport (detailed fees and terms)
- Transport fees are published per route and per service level (Full / Medium). Examples of the published monthly amounts (IVA included) are: ₡56,000–₡100,500 for full service depending on route, and ₡48,000–₡77,300 for medium service depending on route. The December fixed charge is ₡31,425 (IVA included). Payment timing, sibling discounts and late‑payment penalty are as above. (See route list for specific route prices.)

Programme‑specific additional fees (Bachillerato Internacional / IB)
- Students enrolled in the IB Diploma Programme are subject to an additional programme fee that covers membership, programme registration, official teacher training, materials, Turnitin similarity‑checking, submission and review of official IB exams/works, and printed diplomas/certificates. That additional programme amount is non‑refundable if a family switches the student to the national programme during 10th or 11th year. A past publication for the 2023–2024 period listed a supplementary IB charge of USD 95 per month; more recent policy documents confirm the existence of the non‑refundable additional IB cost but do not publish a single up‑to‑date monthly amount for 2025/26 or 2026.

Other costs or fees (uniforms, meals, after‑school, materials, clubs)
- The school operates a shop and provides student food services (soda), after‑school schedules and co‑curricular activities, but published unit prices for uniforms, meals, after‑school programmes or club fees are not provided in the public documents located. Transport and IB programme extras are the only line‑item prices published in school PDFs found.

Refund information
- The additional fee charged for participation in the IB Diploma Programme is explicitly stated as non‑refundable if the family later moves the student to the national programme during 10th or 11th year. The policy also indicates families are responsible for any other IB‑related charges generated by changes of registration or appeals. No general refund schedule for enrollment, tuition or other services was published in the available admissions/policy documents.

Fee payment options
- Enrollment (matrícula) payments are accepted via bank connectivity through authorised banks and via BN Servicios. Specific accepted payment methods for other fee lines (tuition, transport, shop purchases) are not itemised in published documents; the transport service document specifies contractual arrangements directly with route transport providers and notes monthly payment timing and penalties.

Summary of what is published here and data gaps
- Published, route‑level amounts exist for the student transport service (detailed per route, full and medium service prices, December fixed charge, sibling discounts, due dates and late penalty).
- The school's admission and policy documents confirm an enrollment (matrícula) fee is required at registration and that an additional IB programme fee exists (with non‑refundability for programme changes), but those documents do not publish a current, itemised tuition schedule by year group (monthly/term/annual amounts) suitable for direct entry into a fees database for the 2026/27 academic year. A previously published figure (USD 95 monthly) appears for the IB supplement in the 2023–2024 document, but no updated IB amount for 2025/26 or 2026/27 is published in the policy materials located.

If you need these specifics recorded in your database, include the transport‑line items and the IB programme fee (noting the IB fee is programme‑specific and was listed historically as USD 95/month for 2023–24). For all other fee lines (tuition by year group, uniform or meal prices, general refund rules beyond IB), no published amounts were located in the school's publicly available admissions and policy materials.
