Application / Registration Fee
- No publicly posted, fixed application or registration fee schedule is available. Enrollment and new-student registration are processed through the school's admissions system and the family billing portal; any one‑time enrollment or registration charge is issued at the time of admission.
Tuition (mensalidades) — by year group
- The school charges tuition on a monthly basis (mensalidade). Exact monthly amounts by year group for the 2026/27 academic year are not published in a public fee table. Third‑party school-listing sources report typical monthly ranges for Colégio 7 de Setembro in recent years around R$ 800 to R$ 1,200 depending on year/segment, with variation by campus and program. Use of special programs (full‑time / STI, ITA/IME tracks, IB, or additional courses) typically affects the amount charged for a given student.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is billed as monthly invoices (mensalidades). Invoices are issued through the school's online billing portal as boletos bancários (bank slips) and are paid on the due dates shown on those boletos. The portal is used for printing and managing invoices. Families choosing special payment arrangements (annual prepayment, instalments or corporate discounts) receive the corresponding billing schedule at enrollment or via the billing portal.
Boarding fees
- The Colégio 7 de Setembro operates as day campuses (Centro, Aldeota and Eusébio); there are no boarding facilities or boarding fees listed for the school.
Other costs and fees
- Uniforms: a uniform catalogue is published for families; uniform purchase is an additional cost.
- Books and materials: the school provides year‑by‑year required materials lists (by grade) that families must supply or purchase; these are separate from monthly tuition.
- Extra programs and paid courses: optional programs (STI full‑time program, Cursos Livres, Curso ITA/IME, language or advanced‑study add‑ons) are offered and typically carry additional fees beyond the standard mensalidade.
- Discounts and partner rates: specific employer/union partnerships and limited scholarships or partial bursaries are offered from time to time; such agreements produce discounted mensalidades for eligible families. Reported partnerships and discounts have been advertised through partner organisations.
Refunds and cancellations
- No public, detailed refund policy or a publicly posted schedule of cancellation/refund terms was found. Refunds, when applicable, are governed by the school's enrollment contract and the billing portal procedures provided to families at registration.
Fee payment options
- Invoices are issued as boletos bancários via the online billing portal; the portal is the primary channel for printing and paying invoices. Payment methods supported through the billing system typically include payment at bank/lottery outlets, internet banking, and the portal's payment processing; specific acceptance of credit‑card payments or recurring card charges is handled by the billing provider used by the school and is disclosed at billing. Corporate/partner discounts and employer billing arrangements are available where negotiated.
