Administrative and family access to billing and academic administration is handled through an online school management platform (Acadeu), which the school uses for family account management and invoicing; specific billing cycles and payment deadlines are communicated to enrolled families through that system.
Boarding fees - The institution operates as a day school with separate addresses for Nursery/Maternal, Initial (Kinder) and Primary/Secondary; boarding services are not offered and therefore no boarding fees apply.
