Per‑term / per‑installment detail

The school's enrollment contract requires payment of the annual colegiatura at the moment of contract signing in money (efectivo), although the corporate authority may authorize payment by documented monthly partialities; specific per‑term or standard installment amounts and standard due dates are not published as fixed schedules in the materials available. Any agreed installment plan must be documented in the contract.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Standard requirement: the annual colegiatura is payable at the time of signing the contract (in money), unless the Corporation authorizes documented monthly partial payments recorded in the contract.
- The school's Board may establish sibling discounts (rebajas) for families with two or more children; amounts and conditions are set periodically by the Board and communicated by the school.

Boarding / residence fees

- The Colegio Alemán de La Serena is operated as a day school; no boarding or student residence (internado) fees are listed in the school's public fee materials or institutional documents. There are no published boarding charges.

Other costs and recurring charges

- School supplies / materials: the school publishes detailed grade‑by‑grade listas de útiles (school supplies lists) that set out required items by level; these lists do not include prices — costs are paid by families through purchase in the open market. Examples of lists for 2026 are available per level (Kinder, Spielgruppe, 1º básico, etc.).

- Uniform: the school defines an official uniform and rules for its use; parents may purchase uniforms in the retail market of their choice (the Reglamento Interno specifies uniform items and the occasions when the uniform must be used but does not specify costs).

- Extracurricular / academies / selections: the school runs academies, selections and extracurricular activities that operate after the school day; participation and any associated costs are governed by the school's policies and may carry separate charges not listed in the general annual arancel.

- School meals / casino: the school operates a casino (canteen) and publishes menus/minutas for internal use; specific meal plans and prices are not published in the general fee schedule.

- Insurance: students are covered by the state school accidents insurance (Ley 16.744) as described by the school's insurance information; that coverage is part of the standard school environment provisions.

Refund and withdrawal policy

- Application fees: non‑refundable for any reason.

- Partial refund of annual escolaridad if parents transfer residence to another region: the protocol specifies a partial refund scale applied only in the case of parental relocation to another region, applied to the annual tuition that was already paid:
- 75% refund if the withdrawal occurs before the end of the first calendar trimester (January–March).
- 40% refund if the withdrawal occurs before the end of the second calendar trimester (April–June).
- 0% refund if the withdrawal occurs after those dates.

- Other refund situations and any pro‑rata or exceptional refunds are governed by the contract and the school's internal policies; the Board and the Corporation determine final refund conditions.

Fee payment options (documented in school materials)

- Payment in money at contract signing is the stated default; documented monthly partialities may be authorized by the Corporation and must be included in the signed contract. No standard public listing of accepted card, bank‑transfer or online payment providers is published in the school's general fee materials; such methods are not specified in the protocol and are subject to the terms recorded at contract.

Effective year of published figures and notes

- The aranceles and one‑off fees listed in this overview are the figures published by the school in its colegiatura/fees materials (the published page shows the values labelled as Arancel Escolar 2024). The school sets fees annually and updates amounts and payment procedures in its admission/matriculation documents; specific per‑term or standard installment schedules are not published as fixed amounts and must be detailed in the enrollment contract when an installment plan is authorized.
