Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application and registration fees
- An application/registration process requires payment of registration and related administrative fees at acceptance. Registration, book and related pre-enrolment charges are non‑refundable.

Tuition fees by year group (overview)
- The school does not publish a publicly accessible, line‑by‑line tuition schedule for the 2026/27 academic year. Third‑party summaries that report on ACS La Paz list approximate annual tuition ranges (examples cited below), but the school's formal, current tuition schedule is not available on the school's public pages. Examples from third‑party sources show annual tuition in the mid‑five‑figure and upper‑four‑figure USD range depending on grade, and some third‑party references also note a one‑time capital/registration charge; these third‑party figures are indicative only.
- Extracurricular/activity fees (charged separately from tuition) are published for specific programs: for example, soccer, gymnastics and cheerleading are charged per semester at approximately USD 160 for returning students and USD 180 for new students (the higher amount for new students includes the uniform). These activity fees are billed and paid through the school business office. Fees for other ECAs vary by activity.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is contractual and is stated as payable by the year. The school's registration contract specifies that tuition is payable by the year and describes the school's approach to prorating/refunding by quarter (refunds may be issued for full quarters not attended; any quarter with attendance in whole or in part is not refundable). Registration and book fees are non‑refundable.
- The Business/Accounting Office manages tuition accounts and payments; parents may update accounts and arrange payments through the accounting office during normal business hours. Specific installment schedules and exact invoice dates are set by the school each year and are reflected on the school's official billing documents.

Boarding fees
- ACS Calvert (American Cooperative School, La Paz) operates as a day school; there is no published boarding program or boarding fee schedule.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- Activity/extracurricular fees: charged per activity/semester (example: USD 160 returning / USD 180 new for soccer, gymnastics, cheerleading; uniform cost is included for new participants where indicated).
- Book/supply charges: registration materials and book charges are assessed and treated as non‑refundable at acceptance.
- Incidental or deposit accounts: the school's registration documents and parent communications reference incidental charges and account management handled through the business office; incidental charges (lost/damaged items, lunch overages, activity add‑ons) are billed to the family account.

Refund information
- Registration, book and similar pre‑enrolment fees are non‑refundable. Tuition is contractually payable by the year and is refundable for any full quarter not attended; if a student attends any part of a quarter, that quarter's tuition is not refunded. These terms are set out in the school's registration/registration contract.

Fee payment options
- Fees may be paid in US dollars or in Bolivianos at the official exchange rate for activities and program fees where stated. The Accounting/Business Office processes tuition and fee payments; parents should use the school's business office for invoicing and account updates. Specific payment instruments (for example, which credit cards are accepted, online payment portals, or the school's bank transfer details) are not published on the publicly accessible pages reviewed.

Summary of key findings and gaps
- The school's registration/contract documents specify non‑refundability of registration/book fees, that tuition is payable by the year, and the quarter‑based refund rule for tuition. Specific line‑by‑line annual tuition amounts by grade for the 2026/27 academic year were not available on the school's public pages; third‑party sources provide indicative figures but do not replace an official, published fee schedule. The school publishes and invoices separate activity/ECA fees (amounts shown above for those programs that publish them).
