Application / Admission fee
- The admissions process requires acquisition and submission of an admission form; there is no separately published, fixed “application fee” amount publicly available. The formal enrollment (matrícula) is charged as an advance on the annual tuition and is set at 10% of the annual cost.

Tuition (annual) and installments by school year
- The school charges an annual tuition (pensión) for each enrolled student. This annual tuition is payable in 10 monthly instalments. Each monthly instalment is due within the first five (5) days of the month. Specific numeric tuition amounts by grade/year group (the per‑grade fee schedule) are not published in the institution's publicly available fee policy documents.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Matricula (enrollment): charged once per year at the time the student's place is formalized; equals 10% of the annual tuition.
- Pensión (tuition): billed as the annual tuition amount split into 10 monthly payments; each monthly payment must be settled within the first five days of the month.
- Other periodic charges: certain items are collected once per year at the start of the academic year (see “Other costs” below).
- Transport service: when contracted, transport is billed on an annual basis and must be paid for the full contracted period; suspension of transport for non‑payment does not exempt the family from the remaining payment obligations for that period.
- The school issues certificates and academic records only to students who are current (paz y salvo) with their treasury/payments.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. The institution operates as a day school (Preescolar, Primaria y Bachillerato); no boarding fee line is published.

Other costs and periodic fees (examples and how they are charged)
- Service of food (alimentación): provided under a contract and regulated by the contract signed with the family; food service costs are included as part of the school's list of chargeable services when applicable.
- Transportation: optional service offered under separate contract; payment obligations remain for the contracted period even if the service is suspended.
- Student ID card, accident insurance, agenda, yearbook, systematization of academic reports, photocopied materials: these are charged once per year (or when scheduled) as preestablished annual amounts.
- Graduation / examination fees: Pre‑school graduation costs (transition) are charged once per year for those cohorts; students in the final year pay registration and examination fees (including ICFES and international exam fees) and IB Diploma maintenance and exam fees as applicable.
- Book rental program: an optional, voluntary annual book‑rental program is offered; families that opt in pay a preestablished annual fee at the start of the year (or at matriculation). Replacement or repair charges apply if rented materials are lost or damaged.
- Uniforms and school presentation: use of uniform is required by the school; uniform costs are borne by families but numeric uniform prices are not published in the fee policy.

Refunds and withdrawal
- The published procedures explain how to notify the school and the administrative steps for withdrawal, but there is no separately published, detailed refund schedule for matricula or pension within the fee‑policy document. Families must follow the formal withdrawal procedure (written notice to the academic direction and admissions) and settle outstanding obligations; certificates are released only once accounts are up to date.

Fee payment options and surcharges
- The school's fee policy document defines the billing structure and collection rules but does not enumerate a comprehensive list of accepted payment channels (bank transfer, online portal, card terminal) in that document. Some third‑party directory listings have reported that in‑person card payments at school treasury may incur a small surcharge (for example a 2% additional charge reported in earlier directory listings); the school's manual itself does not list payment channel details or surcharges. Families should expect standard payment channels (bank transfer, in‑person payment) to be used, and note that card payments at the school cash office have been reported historically with a small surcharge.

Summary of availability of numeric fee amounts
- The school's internal fee policy and admissions manual state the structure (matrícula = 10% of annual tuition; tuition payable in 10 monthly instalments; specific one‑time annual charges for items such as insurance, agenda, yearbook, book‑rental option, IB and exam fees, transport and food contracted services) but do not publish a grade‑by‑grade numeric fee schedule in the publicly available policy document. As a result, exact numeric tuition amounts per year group or per term for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year are not listed in the institution's accessible fee policy materials.
