Application fees
- The school charges a non‑refundable enrollment (matrícula / inscripción) fee payable at the time of admission or re‑enrolment. Historically this enrollment fee has been set equal to one monthly tuition payment.
Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school does not publish a public breakdown of tuition amounts by year group or per term on its publicly available school information pages; exact per‑term and per‑year numeric amounts by grade are not listed in the school's public materials.
- The school's published billing framework in third‑party school listings and summaries shows the annual tuition model is commonly organised as ten instalments (March through December) with a separate matrícula charged at enrolment equal to one monthly instalment. This is the published instalment pattern used in published school summaries.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing is handled on an annual instalment plan distributed over ten monthly payments (March–December). The enrollment fee (matrícula) is collected separately at registration and has been described as equivalent to one month's fee. Specific due dates, late‑payment charges, and discount policies for advance payment are not published in the school's public information.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Washington School operates as a day school; boarding facilities are not provided. There are no boarding fees because the school is a day‑only institution.
Other costs and fees (uniforms, lunches, activities, materials)
- Uniforms are provided through a designated supplier; families purchase uniform items directly from that supplier. A supplier contact and hours are published as the point of sale for uniforms.
- The school's meals service is run by an external catering company (Dining Hall / provider listed); lunch and snack options are billed separately from tuition and are paid to the catering provider or as directed by the school. Published summaries have listed approximate cafeteria prices in third‑party listings; the school's public pages list the external catering company as the provider.
- Extracurricular activities, sports at external clubs, study‑trip costs and certain exam or programme fees (for example Cambridge / IB exam fees or international trip costs) are additional to tuition and are billed or charged when they apply. Published school information indicates some activities are run off‑site (for example sports at Club Ciudad) and may incur separate costs. Exact amounts per activity or trip are not published in the school's public materials.
Refund information
- The school's institutional conditions include clauses addressing refunds and the allocation of received payments; however, a detailed, line‑by‑line public tariff or precise pro‑rata refund calculation for mid‑year withdrawals is not published in the publicly available material. Families should note that the institution's conditions document addresses reimbursement and allocation of payments.
Fee payment options
- The school's public pages and published summaries do not list specific accepted payment methods (for example, which banks, whether credit card or domestic bank transfer is accepted, or online payment platforms). No public, detailed listing of payment channels is available in the school's general information pages. For transactional details families typically use the school's administrative office contact channels.
Summary of findings and gaps (brief)
- A full numeric fee schedule by year group and term is not published in the school's public materials. The available, consistently reported fee‑structure details are: an enrollment (matrícula) fee charged at registration (commonly described as equivalent to one month's fee in public listings), and an annual tuition billed in ten instalments (March–December). The school operates as a day school (no boarding). Specific per‑grade amounts, exact per‑term totals, payment‑method options, late‑payment penalties, and precise refund formulas are not publicly listed in the school's published materials reviewed.
