Billing schedule and payment terms
- The annual colegiatura is contracted for the full school year and becomes due on signing the Contract of Provision of Educational Services; withdrawal after the start of service does not relieve the financial obligation for the full annual colegiatura.
- The matrícula and any other amounts required at enrolment must be paid at the time of matriculation.
- Accepted payment arrangements for the colegiatura include:
- Automatic card charge (PatPass) with a signed notarized promissory note.
- Automatic debit from a checking account (PAC) with a signed notarized promissory note.
- Payment of the total annual colegiatura by cheque (single cheque) or by 10 cheques (monthly deposits).
- Payment of the total annual colegiatura by credit card under a bank installment agreement.
- Monthly payment is offered as a facilitation for families but the annual colegiatura remains a single, indivisible obligation under the contract.
- Cheques used for colegiatura are deposited month by month on the scheduled date; returned/protested cheques must be settled by cash, card or confirmed bank transfer plus interest and associated costs. Late payment triggers a morosity procedure starting from the 11th calendar day after the due date and may incur interest up to the legal maximum and collection costs.

Boarding / residential fees
- The institution operates as a day school (education parvularia, básica and media). There are no boarding/internado fees applicable.

- Cuota del Centro General de Padres y Apoderados (parent association fee): CLP 50,000 per family (value indicated as subject to confirmation). Payment accepted in cash or bank transfer for this item.
- Other possible costs identified in school policies include books and study materials, travel to the snow (when applicable), extracurricular/workshop fees, charges for damages to infrastructure or lost library books, and charges related to protested documents and collection. These categories are charged separately as they arise.

Uniforms
- Use of the school uniform is mandatory during class time; parents may purchase uniform items where they choose and the school does not impose a single supplier. There is no fixed uniform fee charged by the school.

- For returning (regular) students: the policy states that matrícula may be restituted at 80% if withdrawal is requested before February 29, 2024; after that date no refund of matrícula is provided. Colegiatura is refundable only if requested before the start of service.
