Fees
Pingo de Gente & Laviniense — School fees overview
Application fees - No fixed application, registration (matrícula) or reservation fee amount is publicly listed for Pingo de Gente & Laviniense for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic cycles. Parents should expect that any registration charge will be communicated directly by the school at enrollment.
Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year) - The school does not publish a public schedule of tuition amounts by year group or per term for the 2026/27 academic year (or 2025/26). Therefore no specific per-term or per-year tuition figures can be provided here. Any precise monthly, termly or annual tuition amounts must be supplied by the school at the time of enrollment or in the family's contract.
Billing schedule and payment terms - A specific billing schedule (exact due dates, number of instalments, early‑payment discounts or late‑payment penalties) is not published in the school's publicly available materials for 2026/27 or 2025/26. The institution publishes an academic calendar and operates an online parent/educational portal; details about invoice dates and payment terms are handled through the school's administrative channels.
Boarding fees (if applicable) - No boarding or residential provision is indicated for Pingo de Gente & Laviniense. There are no boarding fees because the school serves Educação Infantil, Ensino Fundamental and Ensino Médio as a day school.
Other costs and fees (uniforms, materials, extracurriculars, exams, trips) - School materials and textbooks: the school issues year/grade material lists and a kit of textbooks (Sistema Bernoulli). The textbook/material kit is sold via the Book Fair platform and access to some digital materials is released after payment by boleto; therefore parents should budget separately for the full kit of textbooks and paradidactic materials. Examples of grade-specific material lists and the Book Fair access instructions appear in the school's published PDFs. - Uniforms: no public price list for uniforms is posted; families should expect separate charges when purchasing required uniform items if the school or its suppliers sell them. - Extracurricular activities, school trips, competitive teams and special programs: specific fees for optional activities are not published in a central fee table; such charges are normally billed separately when relevant.
Refund information - No formal, publicly available, line‑by‑line refund policy for enrollment, registration or tuition was found for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 cycles. A consumer complaint recorded on a public complaints forum reported a dispute where a family requested a refund of paid enrollment fees and reported the school did not return the amount; that complaint remained unresolved in the record consulted. This indicates that families should clarify refund terms in writing at registration and keep payment receipts.
Fee payment options - The school provides an online parent/educational portal and uses outside suppliers (Book Fair) for textbook sales; the Book Fair process referenced in the school's material lists indicates that material payments are handled electronically and via boleto for access to digital materials. No comprehensive public list of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, PIX, boleto, direct debit) for tuition and other school fees was published for 2026/27 or 2025/26. Families should assume common Brazilian payment channels (boleto, PIX, card, bank transfer) may be offered but must confirm exact accepted methods and any card‑surcharge or instalment options with the school.
Practical notes and next steps (summary of what is publicly available and what is not) - Publicly available school materials for 2025/2026 include the academic calendar and detailed grade-by-grade lists of required books and supplies (textbook kits sold via Book Fair). These documents confirm material costs will be billed separately and that access to some digital resources is released after payment of the material invoice. - However, an explicit tuition schedule (per month, per term, and annual totals), specific registration fees, precise billing dates and a written refund policy are not published in the school's publicly available documents for 2026/27 or 2025/26. Because the necessary numeric fee details are not available in the public materials, exact fee amounts, instalment options and contract terms must be obtained directly from the school's admissions/finance office or in the enrollment contract.
(Documentation consulted: school homepage and published PDFs for calendar and material lists; public company/CNPJ registration records; a consumer complaint record. These searches did not disclose a public tuition table or stated registration/boarding fees for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year.)
