Application fees
- Application fee: UF 2 for applicants to Pre‑Kindergarten. The application payment may be made via WebPay through the online form or in person at the school during the published application period. The application fee is non‑refundable once the application is validated.
Tuition fees by year group (summary of public information)
- The school issues an individualized financial letter to families of admitted applicants that specifies the tuition (colegiatura) for the student's specific year group and the available payment options and schedules. A full, itemized public tuition table by year group and term is not posted for general public download on the school's admissions pages; published admission materials state that the financial letter will be sent separately to admitted families.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing schedule and payment terms are provided in the financial letter that accompanies an offer of admission; the admissions information indicates the date to confirm enrollment will be provided together with the acceptance letter or via a separate financial letter sent by email to families of admitted applicants. The admissions process materials and related notices describe that payment timing and installment options are specified in that letter.
Boarding / Residential fees
- Boarding is not applicable. Santiago College's campus is described in terms of Infant, Lower, Middle and High School facilities and extensive day‑school amenities; there is no listing of residential or boarding services for students.
Other costs and common additional charges
- The school communicates that families may have other charges such as enrollment/matriculation items, school trips, extracurricular activity fees, meal/almuerzo credits and similar incidental charges; in previous school communications the institution referenced crediting or refunding amounts for year/semester payments to be applied toward items such as lunch and activities, showing that these categories exist as separate cost items. Specific amounts for uniforms, lunches, extracurriculars, materials, trips or similar items are specified in the financial letter for each family.
Refund information
- Application fee: non‑refundable once the application is validated.
- Credit balances or adjustments resulting from extraordinary measures (for example, community communications regarding temporary fee reductions and subsequent refunds/credits) have been handled via the school treasury/finance office in the past; guidance has been provided to families about requesting refunds or account credits through the school's treasury contact. Specific refund terms for tuition (for withdrawals, short‑term leaves, or other scenarios) are communicated in the school's financial letter and internal regulations.
Fee payment options
- Application payments: WebPay (online) or in person, as stated in the application instructions.
- Tuition and other recurring fee payment methods: the school indicates payment method details are provided in the financial letter sent to admitted families. Contact points for the Admissions Office and the school's administration appear in public admissions materials for questions about payments and financial arrangements.
Note: The school's public admissions pages state the application fee amount and that a separate financial letter containing the full tuition schedule, billing schedule, payment terms and any level‑specific fees is issued to families offered admission; the school does not publish a single public page listing detailed tuition per term for every year group.
