Fee Breakdown

Fees

- A reservation payment equal to one thirteenth (1/13) of the annual tuition for the selected year group is required to reserve a place; the school issues a boleto (Brazilian bank slip) for this amount. This reservation payment is treated as credit and is offset against the annual tuition or the first instalment when enrolment is finalised.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Families may pay the tuition annually in full or split the annual tuition into 13 monthly instalments. For students who enter after the beginning of the school year, the annual tuition is calculated pro rata based on the number of remaining school days; instalments for mid‑year entrants are calculated by the number of subsequent months until the end of the school year. Adjustments for discounts on the annual fee are applied either to the annual invoice or to the January instalment for families paying by instalments.

Boarding fees
- The school operates as a day school; boarding services are not applicable.

Other costs and fees
- Sibling discount: families receive a reduction in the annual fee for additional enrolled children — 5% for the second child, 10% for the third child and 15% for the fourth child.
- School uniform: uniform items are handled through authorised uniform partners serving ESB Rio de Janeiro; families purchase uniforms from those providers.
- Catering and school meals: food service is provided through an external catering partner; meal plans or on‑site catering are additional services managed by that provider.
- School transport: transport services are provided by an external transport partner and are offered as an additional, separately charged service.

Refunds and reservation cancellation
- The reservation payment (1/13 of the annual tuition) is treated as credit towards the annual fee or the first instalment at enrolment. Non‑payment of the reservation fee is considered a withdrawal and the reservation is cancelled. The admission documentation specifies that the reservation payment will be compensated against the tuition at the time of enrolment or in the January instalment for those who pay by instalments.

Fee payment options
- The school issues a boleto for the reservation payment; the admission process specifically references generation of a boleto for the reservation instalment. Additional billing for tuition is handled according to the school's invoicing (annual or 13‑instalment) process. Specific alternative payment channels (credit card, PIX, bank transfer, direct debit) are not detailed on the tuition and admission pages; the reservation is issued as a boleto.

Practical notes for parents
- The annual figures above are published for 2026 and may be billed either as a single annual charge or split into 13 instalments as shown. The reservation payment is one thirteenth of the annual tuition for the chosen year group and is credited to the family account when enrolment is finalised. External providers supply uniform, catering and transport; those services are charged separately by the respective providers.
