Application fees
- No publicly posted application or registration fee amount is available for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year. The admissions process requires submission of the school's application forms and acceptance of the school's Payment Policy as part of application/registration paperwork.
Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- There is no publicly published tuition schedule showing amounts per term or per school year (K1–K5, Primary 1°–5°, Secondary 6°–12°) for 2026/27 or 2025/26 in the school's available admissions or financial documents. Tuition amounts are set in the student enrollment contract issued to families.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Enrollment and billing are governed by the school's Payment Policy, which families must accept as part of the admissions/matriculation process. The admissions process documentation states the school will communicate admission results within a 30‑day period after receipt of required documentation, and that enrollment (matrícula) is completed once required documents are delivered and the enrollment contract is generated. Payments are handled through the school's payments portal managed by ZonaPagos. Specific billing dates, term-installment options, late-payment penalties, and contract payment clauses are defined in the school's Payment Policy and the enrollment contract.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Colegio Granadino operates as a day school (Kinder, Primary, Secondary sections are listed) and no boarding program or boarding fees are listed in the institution's public section descriptions; therefore no boarding fees apply.
Other costs and typical additional fees
- Specific additional fee items (uniforms, meals/cafeteria, school transport, textbooks or materials, extracurricular activity fees, examination fees, insurance) are not published with amounts. The admissions checklist requires a health certificate, vaccination record and proof of health insurance/accident insurance, indicating families will need to provide or pay for these items independently. Any mandatory or optional ancillary fees and the amounts for them are specified in the enrollment contract and Payment Policy.
Refund information
- No publicly posted refund schedule or explicit fee-refund amounts for withdrawal, dismissal, or cancellation was found in the school's accessible admissions or financial documents. Refund and cancellation conditions are governed by the Payment Policy and by the terms in the enrollment contract.
Fee payment options
- Fee payments are processed through the school's payments portal (ZonaPagos). The school's admissions and payments references indicate families use that payment channel for invoices and payments; specific accepted payment instruments (credit card, debit card, bank transfer) are handled through the payment portal and are specified at the point of payment and in the Payment Policy.

Summary of availability
- The school's publicly available admissions and financial materials do not publish numerical fee schedules for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years.
