Fee Breakdown

Fees

Fees overview (academic year 2025/26)

Application / enrollment fees
- One-time enrollment fee (matrícula) at initial registration: R$ 4,191.50.
- The school applies a one-time contribution for a Development Fund (Contribuição para o Fundo de Desenvolvimento) at enrolment/rematrícula in some cases; reported amounts vary by level and can be substantial. Examples reported in the press show Development Fund contributions quoted for similar private international schools and for PASB in published lists; amounts reported for comparable entry levels have ranged widely.

Tuition (monthly) by year group
- Maternal (pre‑kindergarten / nursery): R$ 6,320 per month.
- Infantil / Kindergarten: R$ 6,902 per month.
- Fundamental I (Elementary Years 1–5): R$ 6,902 per month.
- Fundamental II (Middle School, 6–8): R$ 7,816 per month.
- Ensino Médio (High School, 9–12): R$ 8,366.50 per month.

How tuition is presented and per‑term / per‑year guidance
- Tuition figures above are published as monthly amounts (mensalidade). The school's academic year is organized on a two‑semester American calendar (year begins in July and ends in June; first semester ends in mid‑December; second semester runs from late January to mid‑June). For budgeting, multiply the monthly amount by the number of months your child will be enrolled that academic year.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Published fees are presented as monthly values. Specific billing schedules (number of installments, due dates, early‑payment discounts, penalties for late payment) and exact payment deadlines are not published in the public summaries used here; families are required to complete administrative enrollment steps and agree the school's payment terms at the time of registration. The school operates on a two‑semester academic calendar.

Boarding
- PASB is a day school and does not operate a boarding (internato) programme. Students eat on campus or bring food from home; on‑campus meal service is available through a contracted catering provider and is charged separately from tuition.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- Meals: on‑campus meals are charged separately as a unit cost per meal through the contracted provider. Families may also choose to send food from home.
- Uniforms, textbooks, school supplies and school‑branded items: purchased separately by families and billed outside the mensalidade. (Uniform and materials costs vary by year group and by supplier.)
- Field trips, overnight trips and international exchanges: some trips are included in programme activities but many curricular or optional trips incur additional charges billed when organized.
- Some extracurricular offerings may be included, while specialist external providers or competitive teams/advanced programmes may have separate fees. Exact items and prices vary by year and by activity.
- One‑time Development Fund contributions (when applied) are additional to the enrollment fee and monthly tuition. Reported Development Fund contributions for comparable elite schools (and in some press lists for PASB entries) vary widely by entry level and may be asked at enrollment or re‑enrollment.

Refund information
- Specific, detailed refund and cancellation terms for enrollment fees, Development Fund contributions and tuition are not published in the public fee summaries reviewed here. One‑time enrollment charges and Development Fund contributions are typically treated as non‑refundable in comparable private school practice; families should note that many international and private schools treat these charges as non‑refundable or subject to specific contractual conditions. The school's formal enrollment contract sets the definitive refund and cancellation terms.

Fee payment options
- Publicly available summaries do not list a definitive, itemized set of accepted payment methods for all fees. Common payment modalities for Brazilian private schools include bank transfer (TED/DOC), boleto bancário and, in some cases, credit card for specific charges; which methods are accepted for each fee type (enrollment fee, Development Fund, monthly tuition, meals, trips) is determined by the school's billing office and enrollment contract. For precise available payment methods and any instalment options, families should complete the school's enrollment procedures and review the contract terms.

Notes on timing and possible changes
- Published mensalidade figures used above correspond to public fee summaries and press compilations for the 2025/26 period. Reports in the press indicate that private school fees in Salvador, including PASB, have seen adjustments heading into 2026; therefore one‑time contributions or mensalidade levels may be updated by the school for the 2026/27 academic year. Examples of reported sector adjustments for 2026 are available in regional press summaries.

Concise summary for parents
- Expect a one‑time enrollment charge at registration (listed as R$ 4,191.50 in the public fee summaries used here), monthly tuition by year group (ranges shown above), and likely additional one‑time Development Fund contributions and separate charges for meals, uniforms, trips and some activities. The academic year follows an American two‑semester calendar (July–June). Detailed billing schedules, refund rules and the school's accepted payment methods are specified in the school's enrollment agreement and billing notices at the time of registration.
