Tuition fees by year group (requested detail not publicly available)
- A detailed, grade-by-grade tuition schedule (per term and per academic year) for the 2026/27 academic year is not published in publicly accessible pages or documents. No public, complete fee table for 2026/27 or 2025/26 that breaks down tuition by individual grade and by term was located. An independent school directory lists a broad estimate range for annual day tuition in USD; however, a precise, official fee schedule with amounts by grade and term was not found.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school accepts payments through an online payment portal and processes payments in Dominican pesos (DOP) using the school's established daily exchange rate when applicable. The payment portal accepts authorized credit and debit cards. The admissions process requires payment of the application fee to complete the application steps (payment may be made at the cashier or online). The school's payment portal terms note that refunds are governed by the Official Registration Procedure. Specific published billing schedules (for example: annual, termly, or monthly tuition installment plans with due dates) were not located on publicly accessible pages.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Carol Morgan School operates as a day school; there is no published boarding program or boarding fee schedule for the school.
