Application fees
- No application or enrollment fee is charged. The institute is a public educational institution and does not require a separate application or matriculation payment for admission.
Tuition fees (by year group and term)
- There is no tuition charged for any year group or term. This applies to the third cycle of Educación General Básica, secondary education and diversified (bachillerato) levels offered by the institute; no annual or per-term tuition is required.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- There is no institutional billing schedule for tuition because no tuition is charged. No periodic tuition payments, instalment schedules, late-payment penalties for tuition, or term invoices are applicable.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The institute operates as a day school and does not provide dormitory/boarding services; therefore there are no boarding fees. The listed campus facilities include classrooms, library, computer lab, videoconference room, comedor (canteen), gymnasium and assembly hall, with no accommodation/dormitory services indicated.
Other costs and fees (uniforms, meals, materials, transport, extracurriculars)
- No school-wide mandatory tuition or application charges are collected. Parents should plan for routine ancillary expenses that families commonly meet for day schools, such as:
- Uniforms and footwear (purchase and replacement as required).
- Personal school supplies (notebooks, stationery, textbooks if not provided free by the State).
- Meal payments for the comedor (canteen) when a paid meal service is used.
- Transport costs for routes not covered by State transport subsidies.
These ancillary items are ordinary family expenses associated with school attendance; the institute does not assess a tuition charge. The institute's facilities include a comedor (canteen) which can involve separate meal payments when used.
Refund information
- Because there is no application fee or tuition to refund, standard tuition-refund provisions do not apply. Any payments made for optional services (for example, paid canteen meals) would be subject to the institute's operational refund rules for those specific services; no public tuition-refund schedule is published.
Fee payment options
- No institutional tuition or application payments are required; therefore there is no published list of accepted payment methods for tuition. For optional paid services (for example, canteen payments or voluntary activities), payment methods and procedures are handled case by case by the school administration. Contact the school's administration for the accepted methods for any optional service payments.
Brief summary of findings
- The Instituto de Educación Dr. Clodomiro Picado Twight is a public secondary and diversified education institution that does not charge tuition or application fees as part of its core educational provision; public education at these levels is provided free under Costa Rican public-education arrangements. No published school fee schedule for tuition, boarding or term billing was found for the 2026/27 academic year. For optional on-site services (meals at the comedor) or ordinary family expenditures (uniforms, supplies, transport), parents should expect to meet those costs directly or follow any local arrangements the school sets for those services.
