Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application / enrolment fee
- The admission form (Formulario de Admisiones) is charged at COP 200,000.

Tuition structure and how fees are calculated (per year group)
- The school sets an annual tariff for each grade. The annual tariff is split into two components: matrícula (enrolment fee) and pensión (tuition). The matrícula equals 10% of the approved annual tariff for the grade; the pensión equals the remaining 90% (the annual tuition portion). These proportions apply to each grade level.
- Specific numeric tuition amounts by year group (the school's approved annual tariff per grade) are not published in the school materials accessible here; parents receive the exact annual tariff and the resulting matrícula and pensión values at the time of enrolment / in the Contract of Matrícula.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Matrícula (10% of the annual tariff): payable once per year on the date assigned by the school; matrícula becomes official when paid and when required documents are submitted. The matrícula payment is not refundable on withdrawal.
- Pensión (90% of the annual tariff): invoiced for the school year and normally paid monthly in ten (10) instalments covering September through June. Payments of monthly pension are due during the first five calendar days of each month at the banking entity designated by the school.
- Restaurant (cafetería) and transport services are invoiced together with monthly pension payments and are due in the same monthly schedule. The school may offer an upfront full-year payment option with a special discount. Late payments incur penalties as established by the school.

Boarding / day status
- The school operates as a day school (no boarding programme). Regular school hours are daytime; transport service is offered as an additional paid service.

Other costs and fees (what families should expect in addition to tuition)
- The Council authorises the following additional annual or occasional charges, which are billed as “otros cobros” or included at matrícula or monthly invoices as appropriate:
- Student ID (carné) — physical or virtual.
- School agenda (physical or virtual).
- Student accident insurance.
- Rights for Grade 11 graduation (derechos de grado).
- Examinations for the IB Diploma Programme (IB exam fees) for Grade 11 candidates — these exam fees must be paid in full by the start of the final year or according to the school's procedures.
- Voluntary charges: school trips and outings, extracurricular activity fees.
- School supplies (útiles escolares) and uniform costs are borne by families; the school publishes grade-by-grade school-supplies lists for 2025–2026.

Uniforms
- The school uses three uniform types: daily, sweatshirt, and formal; competition teams have an additional uniform. Families are responsible for uniform purchase and costs.

Refunds and withdrawal
- The matrícula payment is non-refundable in the event of early withdrawal; the Manual specifies that the school will not return or reimburse the matrícula amount when a student withdraws. The school may also charge the costs of matrícula, pensión and other authorised items in cases of early withdrawal, as described in the school's Contract of Matrícula and Manual of Convivencia. Late-payment surcharges and collection costs may be applied for unpaid amounts.

Fee payment options and process
- Admission-form payments are processed online via PayU at the time of submitting the application form.
- Monthly tuition, cafeteria and transport payments are to be made at the banking entity designated by the school during the first five calendar days of each month; the Contract of Matrícula specifies the accepted modalities and the designated bank. The school reserves the right to require manager's cheques in certain circumstances and to apply penalties for returned cheques.

Summary of what is available and what families will receive at enrolment
- The site materials and the school's Manual of Convivencia give the complete billing framework: how the annual tariff is split (matrícula 10% / pensión 90%), the standard payment calendar (monthly payments over ten months, September–June), which additional charges may be applied, payment channels for the admissions form (PayU) and that payments of regular tuition and services are made at the bank designated by the school. Numeric tuition (annual tariff) by specific grade is not published in the publicly available materials reviewed here; families are provided the exact annual tariff and the resulting matrícula and monthly pensión figures in the Contract of Matrícula at the time of admission or by the Admissions Office.

Gimnasio del Norte International School is a bilingual IB World School in Colombia for students aged 3–18. It delivers the IB continuum (PYP, MYP, DP) with emphasis on the IB learner profile and inquiry-based learning. Diploma examinations are externally assessed and can be taken in Spanish, French or English; the DP requires the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge and CAS, and a minimum of 24 points. Founded in 1977 by Principal Director Ricardo Pérez Arciniegas, the school has grown with IB partnerships. The campus comprises 120,000 square metres of gardens and sport facilities, including eight football fields, three covered arenas and over 60 venues, plus green spaces for outdoor learning. The IB-aligned language policy makes Spanish the mother tongue and English an additional language taught from age seven, with English integrated across the curriculum. Extracurricular activities include robotics, music and chess, such as MADD Show and a school radio initiative.
