Availability of published numeric fees
- No publicly posted, itemised numeric fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26) was available in the school's publicly accessible pages and documents; therefore precise amounts for application, matrícula and monthly tuition (pensiones) could not be located.

Boarding (day/boarding status)
- The institution operates as a day school; boarding fees are not applicable.

Application / pre‑registration fees
- Typical fee types that families are asked to pay at the start of an admissions process include a non‑refundable application or pre‑registration fee and a separate enrollment (matrícula) charge due at acceptance. No specific numeric amount for an application or pre‑registration fee was publicly posted.

Tuition structure and expected billing categories (how fees are usually split)
- Expected fee components (commonly charged by similar Colombian private schools and used by this school in practice) include:
- Matrícula (one‑off enrollment fee due at acceptance or at start of the year).
- Pensión (annual tuition) charged as periodic instalments (most frequently distributed across monthly payments).
- Seguro escolar (student accident insurance) or administrative charges included with matrícula in many schools.
- Restaurante / comedor (optional or mandatory meal plan) charged separately when provided by the school.
- Otros (exam, diploma, graduation rights, certificates, extracurricular club or materials fees).

Tuition by year group and per‑term/per‑month detail
- Specific numeric tuition amounts per year group and per term or per month for 2026/27 (or 2025/26) were not publicly available; a parent should expect the school to present fees broken down by grade (early years, primary, secondary) with a single matrícula plus periodic pension instalments. The school's public materials do not publish a grade‑by‑grade fee table for the requested academic years.

Typical billing schedule and payment terms used by comparable Colombian private schools (how GI School is likely to bill)
- Common schedule used by many Colombian private schools, and likely used by this institution, is: matrícula due at enrolment, then pension paid in regular monthly instalments across the school year (commonly 10 monthly instalments running from February/March through November or similar). Deadlines, late‑payment penalties and the exact number of instalments vary by school. No explicit GI School schedule with dates and instalment count was found in the public materials.

Other costs and one‑off charges parents should expect
- Uniforms and physical education kit: charged separately; families are expected to buy school uniform items.
- Extracurricular activities / clubs / after‑school care: charged per activity or term where applicable.
- Materials and workbooks: charged at matrícula or billed separately per term.
- Graduation / diploma / certificate fees and duplicate document fees: commonly charged as administrative fees in final grades.
- Meal plan (if used): billed either monthly or as part of the monthly pension depending on family selection. Specific GI School amounts for these items were not published.

Refunds and withdrawal / cancellation charges
- No publicly posted, itemised refund or withdrawal policy with exact refund amounts or deadlines for matrícula or pensiones for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year was found in the school's public materials. Standard practice at comparable schools is that application fees are non‑refundable, matrícula may be partially refundable only within a short, stated timeframe (or not refundable), and pensions already paid are subject to the school's written refund/withdrawal policy; families are normally required to provide formal written notice to avoid further monthly charges.

Accepted payment methods and payment channels
- The school maintains a parent payments portal and uses electronic payment channels; typical accepted methods at comparable schools include bank transfer, deposit/consignment at a local bank, and card payments through the school's finance office or payment portal. Exact merchant details (which card types, online gateway, or bank account numbers) and whether instalment plans or direct debit (ACH) are offered were not publicly published. Attempted access to the school's indicated payments portal encountered a redirect/login barrier.
