Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application / admissions fees

- The school requires purchase of the registration (inscripción) form to begin the admissions process; families must complete and return the form as part of enrollment.

Annual structure of tuition charges (how fees are calculated)

- The annual educational tariff for each grade is split into two parts: matrícula (an annual registration payment) equal to 10% of the annual tariff, and pensión (tuition) equal to the remaining 90% of the annual tariff.

Tuition billing schedule and payment terms (how and when you will be billed and expected to pay)

- The school issues digital invoices for monthly tuition through its billing system; the invoice for each month is generated within the first two working days of the month and must be paid within ten (10) days of issue. Monthly tuition is billed for a ten-month academic cycle (September through June).

- Payment of the matrícula is required once per year at the time of enrollment or renewal; an extemporaneous surcharge of 10% on the matrícula may be applied when matrícula is not paid in the stipulated timeframe. All amounts billed after due dates accrue interest for late payment and the school may escalate overdue accounts to pre‑legal collection procedures if two months of payments are outstanding.

- The school offers a prompt-payment arrangement: families who pay the full set of monthly tuition for the academic year in advance may be eligible for an early‑payment discount as set by the institution (specific discount terms are published by the school each year). A family with three or more children enrolled receives a 20% discount on the monthly fee for the child in the lowest grade.

How tuition is presented and paid (frequency / instalments / per-term detail)

- The annual tariff is normally divided into the matrícula (10% of the annual tariff) and the pensión (90% of the annual tariff). The pensión is payable in monthly instalments across the 10-month academic period (one monthly invoice each month from September to June). Specific grade-by-grade monetary values (tariff per grade) are set annually by the school and communicated to families in the school's financial regulations and invoices.

Examinations, international tests and special billed items

- International exam and certification fees (for example Cambridge or other approved external examinations required by the French system) are billed in the academic year and may be split into scheduled instalments for applicable grades (the school schedules exam-related invoicing across months set by the institution).

Other regular or optional fees and costs

- Student cafeteria (lunch): the school publishes cafeteria meal prices and operates a reloadable balance system for cafeteria services; a representative lunch price listed for collège-lycée service is COP 15,500 per meal. Cafeteria account recharges are accepted in cash on site or via the cafeteria provider's online platform.

- Association (AS) sports/extracurricular affiliation: there is an annual membership fee for the school sports association; an example listed for collège affiliation is COP 250,000 (annual). This fee is charged separately and is non-refundable if the student ceases participation.

- Texts and pedagogical materials: sale of textbooks and special French-imported materials is billed annually at enrollment or may be added to the monthly pensión depending on the item and school decision.

- Transportation (school bus): transport is an optional external service contracted through third-party providers; cost varies by route and is billed separately under the school's rules for optional services.

- Trips, pedagogic outings and extracurricular activities: optional outings require separate payment; deposits required at registration for some trips are non‑refundable unless otherwise specified; full or partial reimbursements follow the trip contract and insurance clauses (medical exceptions and school-cancelled trips may trigger refunds under defined conditions).

- Student ID card, annual administrative charges and cultural stamp: a single annual charge for administrative items (carné, estampilla procultura, and other annual charges) is invoiced together with matrícula.

Boarding / residential provision

- The institution does not operate a boarding (internado) program; schooling is provided on a day‑school basis.

Refunds and cancellations

- Refunds for tuition and other billed items follow the school's financial rules: monthly charges already caused and invoiced are normally due in full; in the event of early withdrawal, families who benefited from an early‑payment discount may forfeit that discount and must request any reimbursement in writing with bank details for the refund. Deposits for optional trips are generally non‑refundable unless trip cancellation or specific conditions in the trip contract (medical certificate, force majeure or school cancellation) apply. Academic records, diplomas and certificates may be withheld until outstanding financial obligations are settled.

Accepted payment methods and payment processing

- The school issues digital invoices through its Phidias billing portal; payments must be made using the invoice as the official payment document. The school accepts bank consignments/transfers to its authorized accounts and uses payment processors (for some services) such as Avalpaycenter; specific account numbers and payment instructions are provided to families in school billing communications. For certain administrative payments (certificates, replacement ID), the school lists a Colpatria savings account (example reference used for certificate requests).

Penalties and collection

- Late payments generate interest and the school may add collection costs; accounts with two months or more in arrears are subject to pre‑legal collection action and possible loss of re‑enrollment for the following year. Invoices more than 55 days overdue can be blocked in the school's billing portal until resolved.

Summary of what is published and what families should expect to receive from the school

- The school publishes its financial rules and the billing framework (matrícula = 10% of annual tariff; pensión = 90% payable across the academic months), the billing timetable, penalties, discount schemes (including sibling discount) and which items are billed separately (meals, transport, extracurriculars, exam fees, textbooks). Families receive grade‑specific monetary tariffs, precise payment schedules, bank account details and any exam or trip charges directly in the school's annual fee communication and on the monthly invoices.
