Fees

Application fees

- No separate application or enrollment fee is charged for regular admission to Liceo San Carlos. The institution is a state (public) day school and does not levy tuition or mandatory enrolment charges for students in the regular public programme.

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

- There are no tuition fees for any year group (preschool/transition, primary, secondary, or IB Diploma levels). No per‑term or per‑year tuition charge is collected from families as part of the regular state‑funded education provision. Any regular instructional provision is publicly funded.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Because no tuition is charged, there is no recurring tuition billing schedule for mandatory instructional fees. When charges do occur, they are for optional or extra services (for example: school meals, extracurricular activities, specific school trips, special materials or course extras) and are billed on an ad‑hoc basis according to the school's administrative timetable and deadlines for those specific services. Electronic payment methods and formal invoicing are used for collected payments in line with public‑sector payment rules.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- Boarding is not applicable. Liceo San Carlos operates as a day school; there are no boarding facilities or boarding fees.

Other costs or fees (uniforms, materials, meals, transport, IB exam fees, etc.)

- Uniforms and basic school clothing: families are responsible for purchasing required uniforms. As a reference for planning, a typical back‑to‑school package (uniforms, basic supplies, backpack and footwear) at the national level is commonly in the order of CRC 91,506 (approx.) per pupil for the basic items; actual amounts required by this school are set by the school and may differ.

- Textbooks and consumable materials: families normally pay for personal stationery, consumable workbooks and some specialist materials when required by particular subjects; whether core textbooks are supplied centrally or purchased by families depends on ministry and school arrangements.

- School meals / cafeteria: if the school or a contractor operates a paid meal service, meal charges are billed separately by the school or the food service provider and are payable according to the provider's schedule.

- Transport: paid school transport (where offered or arranged) is charged separately and invoiced to participating families.

- Extracurricular activities and school trips: charges for optional clubs, extracurricular providers, excursions and residential trips are invoiced per activity and must be paid by participating families.

- IB Diploma external (IBO) examination and registration fees: students registered as candidates in the IB Diploma programme are subject to the International Baccalaureate Organisation's candidate/subject examination fees and any local administrative charges the school applies when billing those external assessment costs to families. The exact IB candidate/exam amounts are set by the IBO and are billed separately by the school.

Refund information

- There is no tuition refund policy to apply to regular instructional fees because no tuition is charged. Refunds or credits for optional paid services (meals, transport, trips, extracurricular activities, IB exam payments) are governed by the school's administrative rules for each service; any refunds or partial reimbursements are handled according to the school's written policies and the terms presented at the time of payment or enrolment in the optional service.

Fee payment options

- For any voluntary or optional charges that are billed, the school follows public‑sector practice toward electronic and traceable payments; commonly accepted methods for paid services include electronic bank transfer or payment through the school's administrative channels or approved providers. Exact accepted payment rails and instructions for each billed service are set by the school's administration.

Contact details and administrative note (for planning)

- Liceo San Carlos is a state day school located in Ciudad Quesada (San Carlos canton), Costa Rica. It offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma at upper secondary level and operates as a public institution; families should expect charges only for optional services and personal supplies rather than for tuition.
