Per‑term / instalment information and billing schedule
- The school presents the charges as an annual tuition (Arancel Anual). Specific per‑term tuition amounts are not published; families may choose to pay the annual amount in instalments using the school's accepted payment methods (see below).
- Upon formal acceptance, the guardian has a 15‑calendar‑day period to pay the matrícula and arancel; failure to pay within that period is treated as withdrawal of the enrollment.

Payment terms, methods and discounts
- Online (Portal de Matrícula) or on‑site payment are both supported.
- Accepted payment methods: credit card (available in up to 12 instalments), debit card, PAC (Pago Automático en Cuenta Corriente) where available, cheque al día / cheque a fecha, and cheque en garantía (with specific internal deadlines to replace guarantee cheques).
- A 3% discount is applied if the matrícula and the full annual tuition are paid in a single payment (or by a dated cheque) by the school's published deadline for that enrollment period (example: the document for the 2025 cycle specifies the payment deadline of March 31, 2025 for the 3% discount).

Boarding
- Boarding/internado is not offered; no boarding fees apply. The school's published information and policy documents describe the institution as a day school and do not list residential/boarding services or boarding fees.

Other costs and optional charges
- Uniforms: the school maintains a uniform policy and a dedicated uniform document; specific prices for uniform items are not published in the available fee schedule. Families should budget for uniform purchase.
- Materials and textbooks: the school publishes annual lists of required materials and textbooks (Lista de útiles); costs for these items are additional to the arancel and vary by year group.
- Meals / canteen (Casino): the school operates a canteen with separate charges for lunches; canteen prices are charged independently of the arancel.
- Extracurricular activities and after‑school programmes: some activities may carry extra fees; amounts are determined per activity and are charged separately.

Refund and cancellation information
- The application fee (derecho a postular) is explicitly non‑refundable.
- No comprehensive public refund schedule for matrícula or tuition is published in the available documents; cancellation, refund or credit for paid matrícula/arancel is handled under the school's enrollment and regulatory policies and is not specified in the 2025 fee document. Guardians should note the school's stated acceptance/payment deadlines and the consequences of non‑payment.

Notes on amounts and currency
- The figures above are published in unidades de fomento (UF), a Chilean indexed unit commonly used by Chilean institutions. Annual tuition and matrícula are presented as UF values; families should convert UF to CLP or another currency using the current UF value on the date of payment. The school's payment options allow payment in instalments (credit card up to 12 cuotas) or full payment with the discount conditions noted above.

Summary of availability and currency of this schedule
- The most recent formal annual fee schedule available in the school's public documents is titled “Matrícula y Arancel Anual — año 2025” and contains the detailed matrícula and annual arancel figures listed above. The school's admissions policy document specifies the non‑refundable application fee and administrative payment deadlines. No separate published fee schedule labelled for the 2026/27 academic year was located in the school's public documents at the time of review; per‑term (termly) amounts are not separately published and would be calculated by dividing the annual arancel according to the payment instalment option selected by the family.
