Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application / Reservation Fees
- A non‑refundable waitlist/reservation payment of BRL 1,000.00 is collected when a family is placed on the EAR waiting pool; this amount is deducted from the required payment at the time of enrollment.

Enrollment / Entrance Fee
- Enrollment is completed only after the enrollment contract is signed and the required enrollment fee is paid. The school requires payment of an enrollment/registration fee as part of finalizing admission (amount not published in the public admissions materials).

Tuition — structure, billing schedule and payment timing
- The school year is organized in two semesters (August–December and January–June). Tuition and fees for the coming year are proposed by the Board of Trustees during May and approved by the General Assembly of enrolled parents. Families receive the published tuition and fee schedule following that approval window.
- Billing is issued through the school's billing system (bank‑slip / boleto) and family account portal; the school issues payment documents (boletos) for required deposits and fees. The school uses a parent billing portal for bank slips.

Tuition — amounts (publicly available historical figures)
- Publicly available comparative data for earlier years lists typical monthly tuition ranges for the American School of Recife in the R$4,040.30 to R$5,455.62 band and an example one‑time entrance/registration charge cited historically as approximately R$13,179.37 (these figures come from published comparative research for the 2022–2023 period and should be treated as historical reference rather than the current school year tariff).

Term / Installment detail
- The school communicates the official annual tuition and any installment/term schedule after Board approval in May. Specific per‑grade, per‑term amounts and the number of installments for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26, if 2026/27 is not yet released) academic year are not published in the public admissions pages or family handbook; families receive the exact per‑grade tuition, installment and due‑date schedule directly from the Finance Office during the admissions/enrollment process.

Boarding
- The American School of Recife is a private, non‑profit co‑educational day school; no boarding facilities or boarding fees apply.

Other costs / regularly charged items
- Canteen / school lunch: Meals and snacks are provided by the contracted vendor (Nutri). Student purchases are charged to the family account and billed monthly. Families may also send lunch from home.
- Textbooks and supplies: The school issues textbooks and published instructional materials; families are financially responsible for lost or damaged textbooks and will be billed for replacements or repair costs.
- Field trips, interscholastic travel, extracurricular clubs and certain after‑school activities may require additional participation or trip fees; families are notified in advance when such charges apply. After‑school activities are offered across grade levels and campus supervision / eligibility rules are specified in the Family Handbook.
- Supply lists and any grade‑specific required items (e.g., personal supplies, devices) are provided to families once contracts are signed; these items are the family's expense.

Refunds and deposit handling
- The waitlist/reservation payment of BRL 1,000.00 is deducted from the amount due at final enrollment (i.e., it is applied to the enrollment package). No separate public refund schedule for tuition, enrollment fees, or other charges is published in the public admissions pages or family handbook; refund/cancellation terms are handled under the enrollment contract and by the Finance Office at the time of enrollment.

Fee payment options
- The school issues payment documents via a bank‑slip (boleto) system and a parent billing portal (bank‑slip issuance is explicitly used for the waitlist payment). Families are billed through the school's financial portal. Specific alternative methods (credit card, international bank transfer, PIX, etc.) are not detailed in the publicly available admissions pages; payment arrangements and accepted methods are confirmed by the Finance Office when invoices are issued.

Practical notes for parents (factual guidance)
- Expect the school to publish the formal tuition and fee schedule after Board approval each May; plan admissions timing so you receive the official per‑grade figures and installment schedule when the Finance Office issues enrollment invoices.
- Anticipate additional monthly charges for cafeteria purchases and possible occasional charges for field trips, after‑school activities, and lost/damaged textbooks; budget accordingly.

Summary of availability of specific numbers
- The school's public admissions pages and the 2025–2026 Family Handbook specify the existence of enrollment and billing procedures, the BRL 1,000 waitlist amount, the timing for Board approval of tuition (May), and that the school is a day school, but they do not publish a complete grade‑by‑grade, per‑term tuition table for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year in publicly accessible pages. A published comparative study listing 2022–2023 historical ranges is available and is stated above for reference. Families receive the exact per‑grade and per‑term amounts, payment dates, and the enrollment fee invoice directly from the Finance Office during the admissions/enrollment process.
