Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application / Registration fee

- A registration (application) fee is required as part of the admissions process and must be paid to complete the application.

Tuition structure and how fees are billed

- The annual cost is split into two principal components: Matrícula (one annual registration/enrolment payment) and Pensión (school tuition). Pensión is billed in installments; the school treats pensión as the recurring monthly tuition charge.

- The standard payment arrangement is:
- Matrícula: a single annual payment.
- Pensión: 11 monthly payments covering the academic year (typically August through June). Pensión represents 90% of the annual tariff used to calculate the year's tuition charge. Payments are due monthly and are scheduled in the school's contract. Payment of the annual costs is made in instalments and the pension is normally collected in 11 monthly payments.

- Monthly payments are due before the first fifteen (15) days of each month.

Tuition fees by year group (amounts)

- Specific numeric tuition amounts by year group (for the 2026/27 academic year; or, if unavailable, 2025/26) are not published in the publicly accessible materials I could open. The school publishes the fee categories and billing structure but the detailed schedule of numerical rates (per grade / per term) is maintained in the school's educational-costs/payments system. The school's online services area lists where educational-costs documents and payment portals are available to families.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing components and timing:
- Annual matrícula: one-time payment at enrolment as specified in the enrollment/registration contract.
- Pensión: 11 monthly instalments (August–June), due within the first 15 days of each month. Pensión covers the student's participation in educational services and includes books and textbooks in the pension calculation.

- The contract of enrollment sets out the payment modalities and any penalties or rules that apply to late payment; the school's administrative systems and the enrollment contract govern the formal payment terms.

Boarding fees

- Colegio Bolívar operates as a daytime bilingual day school; boarding services are not part of the standard offering. Therefore, boarding fees are not applicable.

Other costs and recurring extras

- Books and textbooks are included within the pension calculation (they are contemplated within the pension cost).

- Additional costs that are charged separately from the defined “cost of studies” include:
- Transport (school bus service) - normally a separate service cost.
- Technology fees, extracurricular activities, seminars, lunch/cafeteria services, and other voluntary services. These items do not form part of the core “cost of studies” definition used in the school's Fondo Educativo rules.

- Uniform policy: daily uniform is not mandatory for general use, except the physical-education (PE) uniform which is compulsory for PE classes. PE uniform items are required and therefore a cost parents should plan for.

Refund and withdrawal / Fondo ASOBOLÍVAR rules

- For families who contribute to the school's Fondo Educativo ASOBOLÍVAR and who withdraw a student before the end of the school year, the Fondo provides a proportional reimbursement of the contribution corresponding to the remaining portion of the academic year. In exceptional cases the Fondo's committee reviews individual family circumstances and may act accordingly.

- The Fondo ASOBOLÍVAR regulation states that, where benefits have been caused in favor of a student who leaves, ASOBOLÍVAR has the right to pay for that student's studies in another institution up to the value corresponding to matrícula, pensión, transport and technology at the receiving institution, without exceeding the annual cost defined by the Fondo. (This is a specific Fondo governance rule rather than a standard cash refund of tuition.)

Payment methods and channels

- The school uses online services and payment platforms for billing and administrative processes. The Online Services area references the school's payment/management portals and tools such as PayGo and the school's internal payment gateway. Parents normally make payments through the school's designated online/payment channels or banks listed in the school's payment agreements.

- The admissions information and online-services links provide contact points (email and WhatsApp) for payment and admissions queries; billed items are normally settled through the school's payment mechanisms specified in the enrollment contract and family account portals.

Summary of availability of exact numeric rates

- The school publishes the fee categories, billing cadence (matrícula once annually; pensión as 11 monthly payments), what is and is not included (books; transport/technology/extras separate), refund-style rules under the Fondo ASOBOLÍVAR, and the fact that the school is a daytime (non-boarding) institution. However, specific numeric tuition and registration amounts for the 2026/27 academic year (and detailed per-grade, per-term figures) were not available in the publicly accessible pages and PDFs I could retrieve; the detailed numeric fee schedule is provided via the school's protected payment/online-services system for families.
