Fees

- Preschool (6 months–6 years):
- Toddler — USD 982.51.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school publishes a fee calculator and an online billing arrangement for families; fees may be billed in instalments or monthly payment plans as managed through the school's billing system.
- Re-enrolment and invoicing deadlines include advance payments for the coming year; the school has used advance-payment requirements (for example, requesting 50% of tuition by a re-enrolment deadline in prior communications).

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not part of the school offering; St. Jude operates as a day school with scheduled school-day hours and dedicated transport (bus) services.

Other costs and recurring extras
- School uniform: Students obtain uniforms from the school's official uniform store; uniform costs are charged separately.
- Dining / cafeteria service: Daily cafeteria service is available and billed separately from tuition.
- Transport / bus service: School bus services covering several areas are offered; transport is an additional cost.
- Extracurricular activities and after‑school care: Extracurricular programmes and after‑school care are billed separately; a previously published fee schedule recorded an after‑school fee example of CRC 57,000 for an after‑school offering.
- Admission bond / family deposit: A family admission bond (noted in published fee materials) is charged from Elementary 1 onwards (example amount previously published: CRC 600,000 per family).
- Referral / promotional allowances: The school has run referral programmes that give a discount equivalent to one monthly fee for a successful referral; programme details and eligibility are applied at enrolment.

Refunds and cancellations
- The school's enrolment and admissions process requires payment to secure place and these enrolment/application charges are processed at acceptance or via the school's billing system. Parents should note enrolment and application payments are applied at the time of registration; specific refund or cancellation terms for application, enrolment, or tuition payments are defined in the school's admissions/enrolment policies and billing terms.

Fee-payment methods and administration
- Fees and invoicing are managed through the school's online billing and parent‑portal tools (fee calculator and parent portal are the published payment/administration routes). For detailed payment methods accepted (bank transfer, card, online payment, instalment options) families use the school's billing system and admissions / accounts contact channels to complete payments and to review plan options.

Key notes for parents (concise)
- The amounts above are the published enrolment/tuition figures shown for the 2025–26 academic year.
- Additional mandatory and optional charges (uniforms, transport, dining, extracurriculars, after‑school care and family admission bond) apply on top of tuition; these are billed separately.
