Tuition (aranceles) — monthly and annual
- Tuition is billed in eleven (11) consecutive monthly installments (February through December), each installment due on the 5th of the month (installments paid by automatic debit follow the bank's debit schedule). The published monthly tuition (standard / automatic debit) matches the matrícula amounts above. Annual tuition (sum of 11 monthly installments) therefore equals monthly amount × 11. Examples:
- Initial — Sala 2/3/4 years: ARS 83,830.00 per month → ARS 922,130.00 per year (standard). ARS 80,480.00 per month → ARS 885,280.00 per year (automatic debit).
- Educación Inicial: ARS 99,490.00 per month → ARS 1,094,390.00 per year (standard). ARS 95,510.00 per month → ARS 1,050,610.00 per year (automatic debit).

- If paid by automatic debit in the linked bank account, the debit schedule may show a due/debit date that operates (per contract) on the 7th of the month; reduced amounts for matrícula/arancel apply when debit automatic is used.
- Late payment generates administrative charges calculated on the active 30‑day discount rate in pesos charged by the Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires; prolonged arrears may suspend discounts and may condition continuation of certain activities or school services.
- Sibling discount schedule (applies where same billing account holder is responsible for multiple children): first sibling 20%; second sibling 40%; third sibling 60%; fourth sibling 80%; fifth sibling 100% (subject to on‑time payment conditions).

Boarding
- St. Hilda's College does not publish boarding fees; the school presents itself as a day school and the contract and fee schedules make no provision for boarding charges.

Other costs and optional charges
- Mandatory or occasional additional charges that may be invoiced when applicable:

- Study trips, camps and representation trips: optional; costs announced at time of each activity.
- Didactic materials (books, workbooks): mandatory; costs announced but capped so they do not exceed 15% of the monthly tuition without discounts.

Refunds and cancellations
- Registration fee (cuota única de inscripción) is charged once and is non‑refundable except where the school exercises its admission cancellation right within the first year.
- Matrícula (enrollment payment) is refundable in full if the family withdraws before the contractual cutoff date set each year (contracts give a mid‑February deadline as the applicable example) or if the school cancels the registration.
