Fees
Application / Reservation fee - New applicants must pay a reservation of place (reserva de vacante) when accepting an offered place. This reservation amount is credited against the first monthly tuition payment.
Enrollment / Registration (Matrícula) - Each school year has an annual educational contract composed of a matrícula (registration/re‑enrolment payment) plus monthly tuition installments. The matrícula equals two monthly tuition instalments for the student's course. The matrícula is payable in two instalments: 50% by 30 December and 50% by 30–31 January.
Tuition structure and billing schedule - The annual tuition is collected as the matrícula (two months' value) plus ten monthly instalments corresponding to March through December. Invoices are issued with payment due in advance, on the last business day of the month prior to the month to which the invoice relates. Late or unpaid invoices accrue interest at a rate equivalent to the Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires rate for discounts on 30‑day documents (applied to overdrafts). Persistent non‑payment may result in conditional suspension of participation in optional activities and loss of discounts.
Tuition by level (billing units and frequency) - Levels used for fee categorisation are Toddlers / Pre‑Kinder, K1–K3 (Kindergarten), Primary (EP 1–6), and Secondary (ES 1–6). Tuition is expressed as a monthly arancel for each level; the annual charge equals the matrícula (two monthly instalments) plus the ten monthly instalments (March–December). Specific numeric monthly amounts for St George's College North are established each year by the School's fee communication and were not published as numeric figures in the North campus contract and institutional project documents accessible for review. The structural rule is: annual fee = (matrícula = 2 × monthly arancel) + 10 monthly arancel payments (March–December).
Boarding fees - The North campus operates as a day school; boarding is a feature noted for the Quilmes campus. No specific boarding fee schedule for St George's College North was provided in the North campus documents accessed.
Other recurring or incidental fees - Materials/Incidental charges: incidental costs (educational outings, special classes, materials, uniform items, etc.) are invoiced to parents along with the monthly tuition. In Primary, materials charges are billed in instalments (the institutional practice notes two annual instalments or, in some communications, seven monthly instalments for materials at early levels); these are charged separately from the monthly tuition. - International exam fees: costs for mandatory international examinations are billed in US dollars (the institution informs families of the dollar amount and the peso estimate applicable for the cycle). - Mandatory school continuity insurance: the school includes a compulsory continuity insurance premium per pupil; the premium amount is communicated to families. - Uniforms and shop purchases: uniform items and other shop purchases are handled via the campus shop; such purchases are charged separately.
Discounts - Sibling discounts: the eldest child pays full tuition; the second child receives a 10% discount, the third a 40% discount, and the fourth and subsequent children a 70% discount on tuition. - Old Georgian Club (alumni) discount: current OG Club members receive a 20% discount per child. Additional merit or scholarship reductions (e.g., Beca Canon Stevenson, Beca Sir Robert Malpas, and other merit awards) are awarded under institutional criteria and reduce tuition by specified percentages when granted.
Refund and cancellation rules - Reservation refund: the reservation/deposit is refundable on a sliding scale depending on the date written cancellation notice is received (example dates and percentage returns were provided in the admissions communication for the relevant cycle). If the school cancels the offered place, the full reservation amount is returned. - Matrícula refund: the matrícula/re‑enrolment payment is refundable in full if written cancellation is received by the date specified in the annual enrolment communication (terms and cut‑off dates are set each cycle). - General non‑refund rule: tuition payments are not reimbursed for student absences due to illness or other causes; pre‑paid sums are not refundable when a student does not complete the period covered by the payment except as provided under the reservation/matrícula refund terms.
Payment methods and administrative procedures - Accepted payment methods include: Pago Directo (direct electronic payment), credit and debit cards (Visa, American Express, MasterCard) processed through the School's billing system, and electronic bank transfer or deposit (Banco Santander S.A.). When payment is made by transfer or deposit, families must send proof of payment to the school's billing email address. - Invoicing and due dates: invoices are issued so that payment is due in advance (by the last business day of the month preceding the invoiced month). Late payments incur contractually specified interest and may affect access to optional services and discounts.
Key operative points to note - The fee model for the North campus uses: reservation of place (credited to first month), matrícula equal to two monthly fees, and ten monthly tuition instalments (March–December). Materials/incidental charges, international exam fees (USD), and a compulsory continuity insurance premium are additional billed items. Family sibling discounts and OG alumni discounts are available under the published institutional policy.
Summary regarding numeric tuition amounts - The North campus documents consulted define the full fee structure, payment schedule, discounts, incidental charges, insurance and refund rules, and accepted payment methods, but do not publish explicit numeric monthly tuition amounts for each year group within the North campus contract and institutional project documentation that were available. Numeric per‑level monthly or per‑term amounts are therefore not included here because they were not published in the North campus materials reviewed.
