Fees
Application / registration fees - No public, published amount for application, registration or enrollment fees was found for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. The school's public pages list the admissions and enrollment process but do not publish a set fee table or numeric application fee.
Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year) - The school does not publish a public fee schedule showing tuition amounts by year group or installment (per term / per month / per year) for 2026/27 or 2025/26. No numeric tuition rates were located on the school's main pages, admissions landing pages, or parent-area links. As a result, specific per-term or per-year tuition figures are not available in public materials.
Billing schedule and payment terms - No detailed, published billing calendar (due dates, number of installments, or standard monthly/term billing dates) was found on the school's public pages. The school does provide an online parent area and electronic-billing link, indicating that billed charges are managed and distributed electronically. The site links include a boleto (bank slip) / online-billing pathway and a parent portal. This indicates use of electronic billing (boleto/portal) but specific due dates, late-fee penalties, discount policies for early payment, and installment options were not published in the publicly available pages.
Boarding fees - The school is presented solely as day education (Early Years, Elementary, Middle Years and High School) at its Sudoeste and Águas Claras units; there is no published indication that boarding (residential) provision is offered. Therefore, there are no boarding fees published or applicable.
Other mandatory or typical additional costs - Canteen / lunch kit: A third-party canteen supplier listing for the school shows a monthly lunch-kit option priced at BRL 194. This is an example of an additional monthly cost for food services handled by an external provider. Parents should expect separate costs for daily lunch, snack plans or meal subscriptions if they opt in. - Uniforms: Uniforms are supplied through an external uniform vendor model (schools commonly provide a vendor code and centralized ordering). No public price list for uniforms was published; the school's public materials reference a standard uniform procurement process via an external supplier. Expect to budget for multiple uniform items (daily shirt, sports kit, outerwear) purchased separately. - School materials / kit: The school's parent-area and common school-management platforms referenced (parent portal / CentralAluno / ClassApp) are commonly used to distribute material lists and to sell or coordinate material kits; no published total price for a materials kit was found. Budget for an annual materials kit or book pack as an additional charge. - Extracurriculars, clubs and optional activities: The school lists many extracurricular options; specific fees for optional clubs, after-school activities or specialty programs were not published. These are typically charged separately when applicable.
Discounts and concessions - Some employer/association or partner benefit programs referencing the school show percentage discounts (examples published by partner/benefit pages reference discounts such as 10–25% on matrícula and monthly fees in some categories). These indicate the school participates in negotiated discount programs through third-party partners, but the exact application and eligibility must be confirmed with the school's finance/admissions office.
Refund / cancellation information - No public, specific refund or cancellation policy (for application fees, enrollment deposits, or tuition installments) was posted on the school's publicly available pages for 2026/27 or 2025/26. A formal refund or cancellation clause, and any associated deadlines or percentages, is not available in the public materials.
Fee payment options (methods used to collect fees) - The school's parent area includes an online-billing (boleto) link and references digital parent apps/platforms used by parents. The presence of ClassApp and a boleto/parent-portal indicates the school accepts electronic boleto (bank slip) and uses school-payment platforms that typically support card payments and boleto; these platforms commonly also support Pix and bank transfer depending on configuration. However, no explicit school-published list of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, Pix) with card brands or installment rules was published on the school's public pages.
Practical summary for parents (what is and isn't published) - What is published: the school's admissions and parent-area infrastructure is published (online admissions pages, parent portal link, electronic-billing link), the school operates day programmes only, and certain partner-provided discounts and third-party service prices (example: a monthly canteen kit price) are visible in external partner listings. - What is not published publicly: numeric amounts for application fees, per-term or per-year tuition by year group, the official billing calendar/due dates, the school's formal refund/cancellation terms and an itemised list of mandatory additional fees for 2026/27 or 2025/26. No public fee schedule for the requested academic years was located.
If you require a school-fee record with exact numeric values (application fee, tuition per term and per year-group, billing dates, refund percentages), those figures are not posted in the school's public materials for 2026/27 or 2025/26; the items above reflect the full set of fee-related details that are available in public sources.
