Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application / Enrollment fees

- Matrícula (enrollment) is charged per student at the time of enrollment and is shown in Unidad de Fomento (UF). Amounts by programme are listed below under Tuition.

Tuition fees by year group (amounts in UF)

Note: the school publishes a monthly arancel expressed as an arancel mensual payable in 10 equal payments; the annual tuition shown below equals the arancel mensual × 10. All figures below are presented as: Matrícula [single payment] and Arancel mensual (10 pagos) [monthly].

- Programa Bilingüe:
- Jardín Infantil — Matrícula: UF 13,7; Arancel mensual (10 pagos): UF 11,9 (Arancel anual = UF 119).
- Pre Kínder — Matrícula: UF 13,7; Arancel mensual (10 pagos): UF 11,9 (Arancel anual = UF 119).
- Kínder — Matrícula: UF 13,7; Arancel mensual (10 pagos): UF 11,9 (Arancel anual = UF 119).
- Educación Básica — Matrícula: UF 14,8; Arancel mensual (10 pagos): UF 12,9 (Arancel anual = UF 129).

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition is billed as an arancel mensual paid in 10 equal installments (10 pagos) across the academic year. The published figures for arancel mensual should be multiplied by 10 to obtain the standard annual tuition charge.
- The school operates an online payment system for account management and fee payments (SchoolNet / Colegium). Specific due dates, late-payment penalties, possible discounts for early/annual payment, and documentation required for enrollment (contract/pagaré) are governed by the school's financial procedures and the enrollment contract. The school's payment portal is the online payment channel shown for families.

Boarding fees

- The school's published services identify day‑school complementary services (cafeteria/casino, buses, uniform) and do not list boarding or residential provision as a school service. No boarding fees are published for the school.

Other costs and fees

- Servicios complementarios (buses / transporte escolar): an authorized list of school transport providers is maintained and transport is offered as a separate, chargeable complementary service. Specific route and fare amounts are billed separately from the arancel mensual.
- Casino (school cafeteria): meal plans or cafeteria charges are handled as a complementary service and billed separately.
- Uniforms and school supplies: uniforms are required and managed via the school's uniform service; uniform costs are charged separately from matrícula and arancel. The school publishes guidance about uniforms and materials as part of annual enrolment information.
- Extracurricular activities and academies: after‑school clubs, workshops and paid academies are charged in addition to the arancel mensual. Fees for these activities are published or invoiced separately by the school.

Refund information

- The school's standard enrollment structure separates a single matrícula (enrollment) charge and the arancel mensual (10 payments). Publicly published aranceles identify the matrícula and monthly tuition figures; specific refund or cancellation rules for matrícula and tuition (timing, retention amounts, administrative charges, applicable consumer‑law rights) are governed by the school's enrollment contract and institutional payment policies. Families should note that refunds or adjustments are processed in accordance with the terms of the contract and applicable consumer protection law.

Fee payment options

- The school publishes an online payment channel using SchoolNet (Colegium) for payments and account access. SchoolNet is the school's recommended online payment portal.
- SchoolNet/Colegium typically supports common Chilean payment methods (online card payments via Webpay, bank transfer, and automatic card mandates / PAT) when enabled by the school; families commonly use the SchoolNet payment flow or the school's treasury office for card or bank payments. Availability of specific instruments (credit card, debit card, bank transfer) and the number of installments permitted by card acquirers are set by the school's treasury arrangements.

Practical notes for data entry (for your database)

- Currency unit: all published aranceles are shown in Unidad de Fomento (UF). Record the Matrícula and Arancel mensual values in UF and indicate that annual tuition = Arancel mensual × 10.
- Complementary services (transport, cafeteria, uniforms, academies) are billed separately and should be recorded as additional-payable items where relevant.

American British School is a bilingual day school for ages 2 to 18. The early years follow the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), while Cambridge Primary and Cambridge Secondary guide the core program. The school is coeducational and delivers daily English immersion, with bilingual teachers trained in the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) and a Bilingual Academic Leader coordinating learning, assessment, and professional development. Reading and writing are developed with Phonics and Writer's Workshop in early years, and with Reader's Theater and Book Club in the later grades. After completing the bilingual program in 8th grade, students may participate in a two-week International Exchange in London. Since 2023 a Bilingual Student Summit connects Cognita bilingual schools in Chile, with ESU support. On campus, facilities include Computing and Science Laboratory, Library, Audiovisual Room, classrooms, labs, sports areas, patios, and gardens, with spaces scheduled to align with the program. Extracurriculars include Workshops and Academies, plus leadership and entrepreneurship programs such as Líderes del mañana and Emprendimiento Empresarial.
