Learning Support includes an Individualized Learning Plan with accommodations in the regular classroom. English Language Learners (ELL) and Language Support (SLL) are provided within a bilingual program with both English and Spanish taught to students; the long-term goal is native-level proficiency in English and Spanish. Language support varies by grade level; students are not admitted with very low English from Grade 6 upwards, and some Grade 12 entrants may require additional Spanish support to obtain the Argentine bachillerato diploma.

Payments in Argentine pesos are accepted only on a monthly basis at the official exchange rate at the time of payment. The school will charge for the full semester when enrolling late or withdrawing early from school mid‑semester. Monthly billing and the 2% discount for semester/annual dollar payments apply as stated.
- For families who choose semester payment in dollars, the semester invoice equals one half of the annual tuition before any discount; for annual payment the 2% discount applies to the full year invoice issued in dollars. (Tuition annual amounts above are the baseline for those calculations.)
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Regular billing cadence: billed monthly. Semester or annual invoices are issued if a family elects to pay by semester or year in dollars. A 2% discount is applied to semester or annual payments made in U.S. dollars. Payments in pesos are accepted only on a monthly basis at the official exchange rate in effect at payment time. Lincoln charges for the full semester for late enrollments or early withdrawals within a semester.
- Overdue payments: overdue peso payments are converted at the prevailing official exchange rate on the date of cancellation and an annual interest of 14% is applied to late payments. IB exam fees are billed separately.

Cash is not accepted for cafeteria payments; accepted methods include QR / debit / credit or Mercado Pago in the High School cafeteria procedures.
- Bus transportation: regular school bus fees are billed per month or per semester in Argentine pesos; the fee covers both morning and afternoon shifts. The After School Activities (late) bus is billed per semester per child for the duration of the activity. Cancellation/sign‑up deadlines and full‑month billing rules apply (cancellations should be sent before the 20th of the previous month; each month is billed in full).
