Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application fee

- The admissions process has no application fee; postulation is free of charge.

Required up-front payments and recurring charges

- Matrícula (enrollment fee): a one-time matrícula is required after an offer of admission; the school lists matrícula as a required payment but publishes no public numeric amount.

- Cuota de inscripción (registration quota): an inscripción quota is charged for levels from Pre-kínder through 4° Enseñanza Media; the school lists this item as required but does not publish specific amounts.

- Colegiaturas (tuition): tuition is charged as monthly colegiaturas. The school's published billing period is from February through December (colegiaturas desde febrero a diciembre). Specific per-level or per-term numeric tuition amounts are not published in the school's public materials. The school organizes levels as Infants (Tiny Tots, Play School, Pre-kínder, Kinder), Junior (1°–6° Educación Básica) and Senior (7°–4° Educación Media).

- Útiles (school materials / book lists): school materials are an additional, separate cost; the school provides level-specific book and materials lists. Numeric costs for supplies are not published as a consolidated fee.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Frequency: Tuition is billed monthly for the academic year period indicated (from February to December).

- Due date: Monthly payments are due on the 5th day of each month.

- Payment acceptance: The school accepts electronic bank transfers, cheques (with restrictions), and cash as payment methods. Cheques are accepted only if issued by the account holder or apoderado, or accompanied by formal authorization if from a third party.

Bank transfer details / invoice data (published for payments)

- Banco: Banco de Chile. Razón social: Educacional The Wessex School Concepción S.A. RUT: 99.509.360-k. Cuenta corriente: 225-11237-10. When making a transfer, families must indicate the recipient e-mail and the student's surname plus the month being paid (for example: Pérez González- Colegiatura Marzo). The school notes the standard monthly vencimiento is the 5th.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not listed among the school's services; the school operates as a day school and does not publish boarding or pension (residencia) fees. Boarding fees are not applicable.

Optional / additional costs

- Alimentación (cafeteria / school meals): optional; charged separately as an external service.

- Transporte (school bus / furgones): optional; charged separately as an external service.

- Seguros (insurance): optional life and accident insurance is offered and contracted through the Centro General de Padres y Apoderados (CGPA); this is an additional cost if elected.

- Confección y compra de uniformes: uniforms are sold by external suppliers and purchased directly by families; the school lists approved vendors and states that uniform purchases are the responsibility of the parents. Cost amounts for uniforms are not published centrally.

- Otros servicios externos: the school lists external services (cafeteria, transport, uniform suppliers) as separate-charge items; pricing for these services is determined by the external providers.

Refunds and cancellations

- No formal refund amounts or a published, itemized tuition-refund/cancellation policy is included in the school's publicly available fee information or in the school's regulations made available on the site. The school's regulations do state that measures will be managed to keep accounts for colegiatura up to date, but they do not provide a public, detailed refund schedule.

Fee-payment options and administrative notes

- Accepted payment methods: electronic bank transfer (preferred with transfer notice to the school e-mail), cheque (subject to restrictions), and cash. Electronic transfers must include the e-mail address specified by the school to enable automatic notification. Monthly vencimiento is the 5th.

- Discounts, sibling reductions, or special corporate/FFAA/partner concessions: the school's informational material lists priority considerations (for example, siblings already at the school, children of ex-alumni, students from ABSCH schools, children of FFAA or partner companies) but does not publish standard percentage discounts or fixed discount amounts in public materials.

Summary of availability of numeric amounts (important operational note)

- The school publishes the structure of required payments (matrícula, inscripción, monthly colegiaturas, útiles, optional insurance, and optional external services such as comedor and transporte) and the monthly billing schedule and payment channels, but it does not publish specific numeric tuition, matrícula, inscripción or uniform-price figures in its publicly available pages and PDFs for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic cycles. The school's public materials therefore provide the fee categories, billing timing and payment methods but not per-level or per-term numeric amounts.
