Fees

Application fees

- No publicly published application or admission fee amount for GSD International School Costa Rica for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years could be located in the school's public materials.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group)

- No publicly available, grade-by-grade tuition schedule (per term or per year) for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years was found for GSD International School Costa Rica. There are no posted tables of tuition broken down by year group for those academic years in the school's public pages or admissions form.

- Note on network practice (example from GSD group material used elsewhere): GSD group schools publish annual fee components in other jurisdictions that commonly include an annual reservation/registration payment, an annual tuition amount paid either as a full annual charge or split into a fixed number of monthly installments (examples show 9 monthly installments plus a reservation payment), and separate small annual charges for services such as health/insurance and digital services. These published group examples are for GSD schools in other countries and describe policies (reservation paid at enrolment, option to pay in installments, pro rata treatment for mid-term joiners) rather than Costa Rica-specific price levels. Use of these group examples is for procedural context only; no Costa Rica-specific tuition numbers were found.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- No Costa Rica–specific billing schedule or payment-terms document (dates, due dates, term/semester billing, late-payment penalties) was publicly posted for 2026/27 or 2025/26.

- Representative GSD group billing practices (from published GSD group materials) note: the place reservation is paid at enrollment and is non-refundable if the family later renounces the place; annual tuition is normally charged for the full course and the group offers the possibility to fraction payments across a fixed number of monthly instalments; students who join after the start of the course are ordinarily charged pro rata or required to pay the full course depending on timing; returned payment fees and administrative costs may be charged. These points describe the group's standard policy approach as published for other GSD centres.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- GSD International School Costa Rica does not list boarding as a program on the publicly available school pages and there are no published boarding fees for the Costa Rica campus. The school presentation and program links describe Pre-school, Primary and Secondary education without boarding provisions.

Other costs or fees (uniform, materials, transport, meals, extracurriculars)

- A school uniform requirement is indicated as part of the educational offer, but no published uniform price list or expected uniform cost for Costa Rica was found.

- No Costa Rica–specific published amounts were found for school meals (canteen), transport, extracurricular activity fees, or learning materials for 2026/27 or 2025/26.

- For context, GSD group published materials for other countries show separate annual charges for services such as a health/insurance fee and a digital-service fee and also detail menu/meal and transport monthly charges; those items illustrate how fees can be itemised within the GSD network but do not provide Costa Rica price points.

Refund information

- No Costa Rica–specific refund policy or precise refund amounts for 2026/27 or 2025/26 were published in publicly available school materials.

- Representative GSD group policy language (published for other GSD centres) states that the reservation/seat-holding payment is non-refundable on renunciation, and that payments already made are generally not returned in normal circumstances; the group documents also describe pro rata credits for complete and unbroken weeks in specific mid-semester withdrawal scenarios. These are network-level policy practices as published for other campuses.

Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / other)

- No Costa Rica–specific payment-method list (e.g., which credit cards are accepted, ability to pay by bank transfer, local POS, or online portal) was published in the school's public materials for 2026/27 or 2025/26. The school's admissions form includes a contact email for administrative correspondence.

Brief summary of searches and availability of information

- I searched the school's public pages and the school's admissions/pre‑registration form but could not locate a Costa Rica campus fee schedule, tuition-by-grade table, published application fee, published uniform or meal prices, boarding fees, explicit refund rules, or a published list of accepted payment methods for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. The GSD network publishes detailed fee-and-policy documents for other GSD schools that outline common policy elements (reservation payment, installments, non-refundable clauses, annual service charges), but those documents do not contain Costa Rica price levels.

- For contact and confirmation, the school's Costa Rica pages and admissions form provide institutional contact details that families typically use to request an official, Costa Rica–specific fee schedule and invoice terms. Third‑party school directories also list the campus contact numbers.
