Tuition fees (day students) — annual / per term
- No grade‑by‑grade or per‑term breakdown was published in available school materials. - Directory listings report a single annual day‑student amount rather than a per‑grade schedule: one listing reports an annual fee of 85,000 Dominican Pesos (DOP), and another directory lists an annual day fee of USD 9,000. These two figures come from third‑party school listings and represent directory‑level summary information rather than an itemised school fee schedule.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- No published billing schedule (for example: number of instalments, due dates, or late‑payment penalties) or formal payment terms were available in the school's public materials or directory profiles. Parents should expect that the school sets its own invoicing schedule, but a specific timetable and terms were not located.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- Additional mandatory or discretionary charges commonly associated with private schooling — such as school uniforms, meals, textbooks, learning materials, and excursions — are not itemised in a public fee schedule for this school. Local informational pages indicate that meals, uniforms, books and materials are commonly charged by schools in the area, so such items should be expected although no specific amounts were published for this school.

Practical notes for parents
- The only numeric annual fee figures located in third‑party listings are: 85,000 DOP (annual day fee, directory listing) and USD 9,000 (annual day fee, alternate directory listing). These two figures differ by source and are presented here as directory reports rather than an authoritative, itemised school schedule. Boarding fees are reported as not applicable.
