Tuition (colegiatura)
- The school communicates tuition amounts during the course of the school year. Tuition is charged on an ongoing basis through the school year rather than via a single public per‑grade table.

Specific due dates for confirmation payments (for example, matriculation confirmation windows) are set in the admissions calendar for each intake.

Fee payment options
- The application fee must be paid by electronic transfer. The school indicates that certain charges (for example accident insurance via Clínica Alemana and learning resources) can be paid as additional charges to tuition and spread in installments. The school's administration handles billing and collection; specific payment methods accepted for tuition (for example bank transfer, direct debit, or card) are set by the school's administration and are not listed in detail in the public fee summary.
Note on availability of grade‑by‑grade and per‑term figures
