Fees
Application / Registration fees - The school uses a reservation/enrollment payment that is deducted from the annual tuition (there is a field for "Valor deduzido para a reserva de vaga" on the school's enrollment agreement). Specific fixed amounts for an application fee or reservation fee are not published.
Tuition fees by year group and per term - The school records tuition as an annual amount ("Valor da anuidade") and provides the annual value broken into a number of installments (the enrollment agreement includes a field for "Valor da anuidade" and "Número de parcelas"). Specific published numeric tuition amounts by year group, per term, or per academic year (2026/27 or 2025/26) are not publicly listed.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Annual tuition is presented as an "anuidade" and may be split into installments as agreed between family and school (the enrollment agreement includes a blank for number of installments). - Monthly/instalment due-date options shown on the enrollment agreement include the 1st, the 5th, or the 10th of each month. - The enrollment agreement also includes a field showing that the reservation payment is deducted from the annual tuition total.
Boarding fees - The school operates with regular day-school hours and there is no indication of boarding or residential provision; therefore boarding fees are not applicable.
Other costs and fees (uniforms, materials, extras) - Uniform: Use of the school uniform is mandatory; uniform purchases are required and parents must identify uniform pieces with the student's name. The school enforces uniform rules (winter layers must match school colours, footwear rules, etc.). Specific uniform item prices are not published. - Didactic/material kit: Material didático (school materials) is charged separately and may be purchased through the school. Payment options for material purchases include upfront payment with a 5% discount, or parceling by card or cheque. The enrollment form contains a section for "Solicitação de Material Didático" with payment-method options. - Additional optional services and support (example: individual pedagogical support or contracted professionals) are not included in the regular tuition and are contracted and billed separately. The manual notes that such services must be agreed and paid apart from the monthly tuition. - Other possible extra charges (transport, meals, extracurricular activities) are not listed with published prices on available public documents.
Refunds and cancellations - The enrollment agreement includes spaces related to the annual fee and reservation deduction, but the school does not publish a specific numeric refund schedule or detailed, publicly available tables of refund percentages for withdrawals or cancellations. Refunds and cancellation conditions are governed by the contractual enrollment agreement between family and school and handled per that agreement.
Fee payment options - Documented payment methods include boleto (bank slip), credit card, and cheque. The material-payment section explicitly lists payment by boleto or card or cheque and an option for an upfront payment with a 5% discount. The enrollment agreement and material-payment form show the school accepts these forms of payment.
Summary of available, actionable fee details for parents - Expect to pay a reservation/enrollment amount that will be deducted from the annual tuition (exact value to be confirmed with the school at enrollment). - Annual tuition is established as a single yearly amount that can be divided into installments; the number of installments and the monthly due date (1st, 5th, or 10th) are agreed at enrollment. - Uniforms and material kits are additional costs; material kits may offer a 5% discount if paid upfront and can be paid by boleto, card, or cheque. - No boarding fees apply because the school is a day school. - Specific numeric tuition amounts by year group and per term for the 2026/27 academic year (and for 2025/26 where 2026/27 is not available) are not publicly posted in the school's published enrollment documents and manuals; families should obtain the current numeric fee schedule directly during admission or by contacting the school's admissions office.
