Fees
Application / Registration fee - No separate non‑refundable application or "entry" fee is published for Colegio Colombo Británico Cali. The school's enrolment system uses an annual matrícula (enrollment) charge that functions as the formal registration payment for the year.
Billing schedule and payment terms - The matrícula is charged as part of the annual cost and is typically treated as the up‑front enrollment payment. The school's billing structure follows the common Colombian practice where the annual tuition is structured with the matrícula representing approximately 10% of the annual cost and the remaining balance spread across monthly payments. Schools in the same Colombo Británico network publish the matrícula as 10% and the remainder in ten equal monthly instalments (February through November), with payment windows and discounts for early settlement; Colombo Británico circulars and handbooks reflect these terms (payment within the first 10 days of each month; discounts for prompt or advance payment; interests/penalties for late payment).
Boarding / Residential fees - Boarding (internado) is not listed as a service for Colegio Colombo Británico Cali. The school offers school transport and a school dining (comedor) service, but not residential boarding; therefore no boarding fees apply.
Other periodic and one‑off costs - Uniforms and school supplies: parents are responsible for uniforms and for the standard list of school supplies (útiles escolares) required each year; the school issues a list of required materials during the enrolment process. Additional charges for specific consumables, graduation fees, standardised tests or extracurricular activities may apply as separate items. - Transport (bus) and comedor (school meals): both services are offered and billed separately from matrícula and pensión when families opt in. - Extracurricular activities and special programmes: some optional after‑school clubs, camps or international trips may have additional fees charged on request.
Refunds and withdrawal charges - No explicit, public refund schedule for matrícula or pension payments (for mid‑year withdrawals or cancellations) was available in the accessible fee materials for the school. Standard practice across similar private schools is to apply specific rules for refunds and prorating at withdrawal and to retain any administrative or late‑processing charges; families should expect a formal, documented refund/withdrawal policy to be applied at registration and invoicing.
Accepted payment methods and practical payment notes - Common payment channels used by comparable Colombian private schools and documented in school payment guides include: online payments (PSE), credit and debit card payments, bank transfers/consignations and in‑person payments at the school's finance office. The school's family communications and payment modules list online and card payment options as standard. Expect to be able to pay the matrícula and monthly pensiones by one or more of those channels; receipts or confirmation are normally issued upon payment.
Search and document note (availability of 2026/27 schedule) - The figures above reflect published fee amounts and directory listings for the 2025–2026 academic period where a full, line‑by‑line 2026/27 public fee schedule for Colegio Colombo Británico Cali was not accessible in the school's online materials at the time of this search. The school publishes admissions and institutional documents under the Colegio Colombo Británico identity; circulars from Colombo Británico institutions and the school community confirm the standard billing conventions used (matrícula ~10% of annual tariff; remaining balance in ten instalments).
