Application / Reservation Fee
- The admissions process requires payment of a reservation fee (taxa de reserva) after the family interview; this payment is made through a payment link supplied by the school.

Tuition fees by year group (per month / typical annual pattern)
- Tuition is charged by series/age and varies by unit and year; the school does not publish a single public table on its pages. Available local reports list sample monthly amounts reported in recent years: for example, BRL 5,438 per month was reported for Gurilândia in late 2023 (for the 2024 year) and more recent reporting listed monthly fees up to BRL 4,577 for the following year. These published figures show that monthly tuition varies by year group and may be adjusted annually.

Per-term / per-year breakdown and how billing typically works
- Enrollment requires signing the contract and payment of the first monthly tuition at completion of admission. The school uses a standard monthly tuition billing cadence (monthly installments) rather than a single annual lump sum for routine tuition billing; the first monthly payment is required to finalise admission.

Discounts and special pricing
- The school offers targeted discounts for qualifying families: for example, an institutional 20% discount for new Early Years (afternoon shift) students via specified partner associations is stated. Discount eligibility is specific to the affiliation and the stage.

Boarding / Residence
- Gurilândia operates two day-school campuses (Federação and Pituba) and the published school information and campus descriptions do not indicate boarding or residential provision; no separate boarding fees are listed.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- Meals: daily cafeteria buffet lunches are available on a paid-credit system (families load credit onto a student account/card); the buffet lunch is charged separately from tuition.
- Extracurricular activities and after‑school programs are offered and are managed as separate activities; program brochures for each campus indicate that some activities may carry additional fees.
- Uniforms, school materials, school trips and some specialist workshops are commonly charged in addition to tuition at similar schools; Gurilândia's extracurricular brochures and campus materials indicate separate activity fees and meal charges, while no single public price list for uniforms or materials is posted in the pages reviewed.

Refunds and cancellations
- The school's admissions description states that a reservation fee is paid after the interview and that enrollment is finalised when the contract is signed and the first monthly payment is made; however, no publicly posted, detailed refund or cancellation policy for reservation fees, tuition prepayments or withdrawals was found in the school pages inspected.

Billing schedule and payment terms (summary)
- Key steps and timing referenced in the school's admissions process:
- Submit interest / documents → interview → school sends payment link for the reservation fee.
- Finalising admission requires signing the contract and payment of the first monthly tuition; ongoing tuition is billed monthly.

Fee payment options
- The admissions process uses an online payment link for the reservation fee and requires online payment of the first monthly tuition to complete enrolment; meals are paid via a school credit system. The school's public pages do not list a full set of accepted payment methods (for example, which card brands, bank transfer or direct-debit options are accepted).

Brief note on currency and reported values
- Where dollarized or explicit figures are reported by local media, amounts are quoted in Brazilian reais (BRL). Recent local reporting has shown sample monthly tuition figures in the mid‑thousands of reais (see cited press values).

Summary of findings and availability of a public fee table
- The school's published admissions and school‑life pages confirm the existence of a reservation fee (paid via payment link), the need to sign a contract and to pay the first monthly tuition to complete enrolment, meal payments via a credit system, and separate extracurricular brochures indicating extracurricular fees. A single, detailed public fee schedule showing every year‑group price and per‑term breakdown for the 2026/27 academic year was not available on the public pages reviewed; local news reporting provides sample monthly figures from recent years (cited above). For parents, the practical implications are: expect a reservation fee at application, a required first month payment on enrolment, monthly tuition billed thereafter, separate charges for lunches and many extracurricular activities, targeted institutional discounts for qualifying affiliations, and no public indication that boarding or residential fees apply.
