Application / reservation fee
- A reservation (application) fee is required to secure a place; parents receive a payment link to complete the reservation. To finalize enrollment the contract must be signed and the first monthly tuition payment must be made at matriculation.
Tuition fees (monthly) — reported figures and year group detail
- Reported monthly tuition for Ensino Médio (non‑scholarship students) for the 2025 academic cycle: R$5,389 for 1º and 2º ano and R$5,438 for 3º ano.
- Other press reports give slightly different figures for Ensino Médio in 2025 (examples reported: R$5,000 and R$5,791 per month). These sources refer to the same general tuition band for Ensino Médio but differ by outlet.
- The school's public pages present a Mensalidades (tuition) section but do not publish a full per‑grade, per‑term fee table for all year groups on the public site. Where a specific per‑series breakdown is required, the school provides figures during the admissions process.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing is on a monthly tuition basis; the admissions process requires payment of the reservation fee to hold a place and payment of the first monthly fee when signing the enrolment contract.
- The school follows the Brazilian academic calendar (two semesters per year: first and second semester) for entry and enrollment timing.
Boarding / accommodation
- Land School is operated as day campuses (Land Federação and Land Pituba); there is no public indication that boarding or residential accommodation is offered. Fees for boarding are not applicable.
Other costs and typical additional charges
- School meals: the school runs a daily meals and nutrition program planned by a nutritionist; details about whether meal cost is included in tuition or invoiced separately are managed through admissions/parent communications.
- Extracurricular activities and clubs (sports, languages, robotics, arts, MUN, etc.) are offered; some activities may carry separate fees or sign‑up charges depending on the activity.
- Typical additional items that families should expect to budget for include: uniform(s), school supplies/materials, supervised trips/fieldwork, transport (if used), optional extracurricular program fees and examination fees; the school's public materials list the existence of these services but do not publish a complete itemized price list on the public pages.
Refund and cancellation information
- Enrollment requires a signed contract and the first monthly payment at matriculation; specific refund, cancellation and contract termination terms are set out in the enrolment contract rather than in a publicly detailed refund table on the public site. Families should consult the enrolment contract and admissions office for exact refund/cancellation conditions.
Accepted payment methods / payment options
- The admissions process includes provision of a payment link for the reservation fee and instruction to pay the first monthly fee at contract signing; specific payment methods (for example, bank transfer, boleto, credit card or other options) are provided to families during the admissions/payment step.
Summary of sourcing and scope (brief)
- Public pages for Land School include an Admissions (Processo de Admissão) page and a Mensalidades page, but the site does not publish a comprehensive public fee table with line‑by‑line amounts for every year group and every optional service. Local press coverage (October 2024 reporting of fees for 2025 entry) provides monthly tuition figures for Ensino Médio that vary slightly by outlet; those reported figures are presented above. For definitive per‑series fees, exact reservation‑fee amounts, refund clauses and accepted payment method details, the school supplies the formal fee schedule and contract during the admissions process.
