- Warteklasse (post-class supervised care for pre‑school students, service between 13:15 and 14:00): CLP 450,000 annual (payable in 10 installments March–December when offered). Enrollment in the service generates the annual charge.

Exact offerings and prices are published by the school for each year and for each instrument/workshop.
- School bus service: routes are coordinated with an external transport provider (MOH) and a minimum number of students per route may be required; bus service charges and contracting are handled through the transport provider or the school's published process (fees set by the provider or as agreed with the school). Specific route lists and contact details for the provider are published.
- Uniforms: uniform use is mandatory from 1° Básico through 4° Medio; the school publishes a uniform catalog and a separate sports-uniform specification (changes effective from a published year). Uniform purchase costs are set by the supplier(s) indicated in the school's uniform documentation.
- School cafeteria (casino), library items, educational materials and devices: charges may apply for cafeteria meals, replacement or non-return of library books/equipment (e.g., calculators, Kindle), specific course materials, and digital-devices where the school's digital program requires them. The school publishes lists of required materials (útiles) and device notes for each level. Example: the school has published documentation referencing iPad incorporation in the digital program for certain levels. These items are charged separately from tuition.
- Co-payments for specific activities and trips (pedagogical outings, international exchange programs) and associated insurance/airfare costs are charged separately; refund schedules for program withdrawals (exchange trips) are published with decreasing refund percentages the closer to departure a cancellation occurs. Example exchange‑program refund schedule and conditions are published in the school's informational materials.

Refunds, cancellations, and withdrawal billing
- Admission/exam fees that are explicitly published as non-refundable (for example, the Prekindergarten admission exam fee) are retained if stated as such.
- Withdrawal / cancellation of enrollment: when a family withdraws a student and the contract is terminated, the school stops charging the annual tuition for the months proportionally not provided; the school's enrollment and conduct regulations set the formal procedures and deadlines for withdrawal and any related billing adjustments. Program-specific activities (exchanges, travel packages) maintain their own refund schedules, which the school publishes for each program.
