Fees
Application fee - The school does not publish a fixed application fee amount on its public admissions materials. Parents must request the current application/registration charge directly from the school to obtain the exact amount and payment timing.
Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year) - Specific tuition amounts by year group (per term and per year) are not published in the school's publicly available materials for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. Exact tuition figures for each year group (Pre‑School, Primary, Secondary and any sub‑years) must be requested from the school.
Billing schedule and payment terms - The school's public admissions information does not list a published billing schedule (for example, annual, termly or monthly billing cycles) or detailed payment terms (due dates, late‑payment penalties) that include exact dates or percentages. Parents should expect standard practice at international schools (invoices issued prior to each billing period and terms set at enrollment) but the school's specific billing schedule and formal payment terms are not published in the materials reviewed.
Boarding fees (if applicable) - No boarding provision or boarding fees are described in the school's public information. Chartwell International School in Santiago operates without published boarding services; therefore there are no publicly listed boarding fees.
Other costs and typical additional fees - The school's public pages do not list itemised additional fees (for example: uniforms, textbooks, consumables, school lunches, activity fees, transport, examination fees, or extracurricular charges) with amounts. These types of additional costs may exist but specific amounts and which costs are compulsory versus optional are not published. Parents should treat these categories as commonly charged items at international schools and request an itemised fee schedule for exact figures.
Refund information - No published refund policy (for deposits, tuition pro‑rata refunds on withdrawal, or trial‑week refunds) is available in the school's publicly accessible admissions information. Any refund conditions, deadlines, and amounts are not present in the documents reviewed and must be obtained directly from the school.
Fee payment options - The school's public materials do not specify which payment methods are accepted (for example bank transfer, local/ international credit card, direct debit). Parents should confirm accepted payment methods and any associated fees (card fees, currency handling charges) with the school's finance or admissions office.
Brief summary of findings and limitations - The public pages reviewed (general school and admissions pages) describe the admissions process (including a free trial week and required enrollment documents) and contact details for the Santiago campuses, but they do not publish a current fee schedule or numeric tuition, registration, boarding, uniform, or refund figures for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year. Because exact amounts, billing cadence, refund rules, and accepted payment methods are not published, precise numeric fee data cannot be provided here. For exact figures and formal terms, request the school's current fee schedule and contract directly from the school's admissions or finance office.
