Fees

Summary (scope and currency)
- The British School of Brasília (BSB) operates as an international day school offering Early Years through secondary education.

Application and enrolment fees
- No publicly available, up-to-date schedule of application or enrolment fees for the 2026/27 academic year is published. For historical reporting, there have been parent reports of standard enrolment/renewal charges in prior years, but a current school-published application fee table for 2026/27 was not found.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school does not publish a publicly accessible, itemised tuition-fee schedule for 2026/27 (or a 2025/26 fee schedule available online). The most specific fee figures located from public reporting date from 2020 and reported monthly values for older primary pupils of BRL 6,800 and a combined amount including meal and additional English-language charges of BRL 7,700; these figures are historical and should not be treated as the current 2026/27 fees. No verified per-term or per-year breakdown for 2026/27 was found in public materials.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- There is no publicly posted, detailed billing schedule (for example: termly dates, instalment options, due dates, late-payment penalties) for the 2026/27 year available in the school's public materials. Billing frequency and specific payment terms are not published online; parents should expect a formal contract and billing schedule to be issued at offer/enrolment.

Boarding fees (where applicable)
- Boarding is not listed among the school's services; BSB operates as a day school and does not publish boarding provision or boarding fees. Therefore boarding fees are not applicable.

Other compulsory or commonly charged costs
- School lunches: school meals are provided on-site and are compulsory for all full‑day pupils (half‑day pupils excepted); lunch charges are handled as a separate service cost.
- Uniforms: the school sells school uniforms on campus; uniform purchase is an additional family cost.
- Additional curricular or language charges: past reporting identified separate charges for additional English-language classes and other extras in earlier years; such extras (where charged) are billed in addition to tuition.
- Transport (bus service): the school operates a bus service; transportation is provided as a separately charged service.
- Extracurricular activities, trips, examination or external-assessment fees, and materials/consumables are typically additional to tuition; no current definitive price list for these items for 2026/27 is published.

Refunds and fee adjustment policy
- No publicly posted refund policy, withdrawal fee schedule, or detailed fee-adjustment policy for the 2026/27 academic year was found. Financial-aid awards that have been granted are reviewed annually and may be adjusted, increased, decreased, or withdrawn — financial-aid arrangements are subject to means assessment and committee decision. Refund and contract‑termination terms are typically set out in the enrolment contract but are not published as a standalone public schedule.

Fee payment options (methods accepted)
- The school's public materials and admissions pages do not publish a definitive list of accepted payment methods (for example: which credit cards are accepted, whether online payment portals are available, or bank-transfer details). Contact details for the Admissions / Finance office are provided for enquiries and enrolment arrangements; specific payment options and banking details are supplied at offer/enrolment.

Financial assistance
- The school operates a financial‑aid programme; awards are usually between 10% and 30% of school fees, are subject to means assessment, and are reviewed annually.

Concise note about available public information (useful for database accuracy)
- As of the time of this review, BSB does not publish a current, itemised public fee schedule for 2026/27 or 2025/26 on its public pages. The most recent specific fee figures located in public reporting date from 2020 and are historical; a full, current term‑by‑term or year‑by‑year fee table suitable for direct entry into a fee database was not available in public sources. For families completing records, please note that exact per‑term and per‑year tuition figures, billing dates, exact mandatory extras and formal refund/withdrawal terms are determined in the school's offer and enrolment contract.
