Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application / Admission fee
- An admission (application) fee is charged as part of the registration process and must be paid at the time of registration or to reserve a place.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school does not publish detailed per-grade or per-term tuition amounts for the 2026/27 academic year (and no public 2025/26 full fee schedule for individual grades was found). Families are required to complete registration and sign the enrollment contract at the time the tuition/registration payment is made.
- Historical reporting from earlier public listings shows past total tuition figures in the range of RD$271,450 with separate re‑registration and admission charges documented in older public material; these older figures are cited here for historical context only and should not be assumed current.
- Parent communications published in the press for the 2023–2024 period reported proposed increases in annual charges in the range of RD$26,870 to RD$49,385 (described as the annual increase amount, not as the full tuition total). These figures reflect reported change amounts rather than an itemized fee schedule by grade.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Matriculation is formalized when the family completes documentation, signs the enrollment/tuition contract, and completes payment of the inscription or reservation fee. Exact billing cycles, installment options, due dates, late‑payment penalties, and discount structures are not published in a public fee schedule.

Boarding fees
- Cathedral International School operates as a day school and no boarding program or boarding fees are listed. No boarding-related charges were identified.

Other costs and recurring charges
- Re‑registration / matriculation fee: Students returning for a new school year update registration and pay matriculation; the school's enrollment procedures require this payment at re‑registration.
- Association of Parents fee and miscellaneous school charges: Press reports and parent communications have referenced a Parents Association fee (examples in reporting noted a proposed increase from RD$1,000 to RD$1,400 per year) and increased charges for resources and technology. These items have been referenced as separate line items in public complaints about proposed increases.
- Cafeteria and meal account: The cafeteria uses a prepaid on‑line system; families load funds by bank transfer to the account specified for cafeteria operations. The cafeteria specifically accepts transfers to a Banco Popular account for prepaid cafeteria balances.
- Transport: Transportation is provided by an external Association (Asociación de Transporte Escolar del Este) with its own routes and fees; transport fees are managed separately by that provider.
- Uniforms, extracurriculars, health/medical requirements and incidental supplies are charged separately or purchased through school‑recommended channels; specific prices are not published in a public fee schedule.

Refund information
- No publicly available refund policy or detailed refund terms for matriculation, registration, tuition, or other fees was found in the school's published admission materials or manuals. Matriculation is described as formalized upon completion of payment and contract signing, but specific refund terms are not published.

Fee payment options
- The school's published services information shows use of bank transfer for cafeteria top‑ups (Banco Popular account details provided for cafeteria payments). No publicly stated, detailed list of accepted payment methods for tuition (for example specific bank transfer instructions for tuition, in‑person payments, credit card acceptance, or installment processors) was located in published admissions materials. Transport and some services are billed/managed separately by third parties.

Brief summary of findings and limits of available public information
- The school's admissions pages and handbooks describe the admission process, matriculation requirements, and that admission costs are set each academic year by the finance department, but a public, itemized fee schedule by grade and by term for 2025/26 or 2026/27 was not published online. Press coverage and older public listings provide some historical totals and reported increase amounts, but they do not substitute for a current, itemized annual fee schedule broken down by grade and by term.
