Fee Breakdown

Fees
Application fees

- Admission test: USD 20.
- Admission fee: the admission fee is payable in full at acceptance and is non‑refundable; the school's public materials state the admission fee must be paid in full but do not publish a single fixed amount for the admission fee.

Tuition fees by year group (annual and per term)

- The school does not publish a detailed, grade-by-grade tuition schedule in the publicly available enrollment materials for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year.
- Approximate annual range reported by local/expat community sources: USD 5,000 to USD 11,000 per year depending on grade level and program charges (lower amounts reported for preschool/elementary; higher amounts for secondary with laboratory/AP/matriculation costs). These figures are estimates from community and local guides and should be treated as approximate.

Per-term amounts and minimum payment rule

- Minimum payment: regardless of time spent at the school, the minimum tuition payment due on enrollment is equivalent to one semester. Specific per-term tuition figures and exact term-by-term billing amounts are not published in the school's publicly posted materials. Families must complete a payment plan option as part of finalized enrollment.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Finalized enrollment requires completion of the selected payment plan, submission of registration forms, and payment of the Parent‑Teacher Association membership fee and PTA disclaimer. The public materials require families to complete the payment plan option to finalize enrollment.
- Sibling / family discounts:
- Admission fee sibling discount: first child pays 100% of the new family admission fee; second child pays 75%; subsequent children pay 50% of the new family admission fee.
- Tuition sibling discount: a 25% tuition discount is applied for the 3rd and 4th child from the same family.

Withdrawal / refund policy

- Tuition reimbursement for withdrawals prior to the academic year is applied as follows:
- On or before June 30: 60% tuition reimbursement.
- On or before July 31: 50% tuition reimbursement.
- On or after August 1: no tuition reimbursement.
- The school's public materials also state that a non‑refundable withdrawal school fee (specified in the school's fee policy) is charged per child and that a minimum of one semester's tuition will be charged unless the child is withdrawn within a short grace period after entry. Exact numeric values for the standard admission fee and some withdrawal charges are not published in the publicly posted enrollment documents.
- Exceptional circumstances: families may submit a formal written request for consideration of refunds in force majeure or extraordinary situations; such requests are reviewed by the Board of Directors.

Boarding fees

- The International School of Sosúa operates as a day school; no boarding program or boarding fees are listed in the school's publicly available admissions materials. No boarding fees are published.

Other costs and routinely assessed charges

- Admission test: USD 20 (charged as part of the admissions process).
- Agenda replacement (grades 3–8): USD 10 replacement fee if the student misplaces the school agenda.
- Locker costs (secondary students): a US USD 120 charge is levied for purposeful locker damage; a USD 15 charge is assessed for lost or damaged locks.
- Library and school materials: families are responsible for replacement costs for lost/damaged library books and for any fees associated with renting school resources (for example calculators); fees for online course materials or external exam fees (AP, external coursework) are invoiced to families where applicable. The school may also charge fees for specific activities, field trips, or special services.

Refund information (summary)

- Refunds for withdrawal before the academic year follow the tiered schedule: 60% if on or before June 30; 50% if on or before July 31; none on or after August 1. Exceptional or force‑majeure requests may be considered by written submission to the Board. A withdrawal processing/administrative fee and a minimum one‑semester charge apply in many cases as stated in the school's fee policy.

Fee payment options and how payments are managed

- Public materials require completion of a payment plan to finalize enrollment but do not list specific accepted payment channels (for example, a public list of bank transfer, credit card, or other providers is not published in the enrollment pages or admission forms). Families are instructed to complete the payment plan and coordinate payment details with the school's administrative/finance office. Contact details (school phone and office email) are published for direct coordination.

Notes on available data and figures

- The school's public admissions pages and PDFs include clear policy statements (minimum one‑semester payment rule, sibling discounts, reimbursement schedule, small specified charges such as the USD 20 admission test and locker/agenda replacement fees) but do not publish a full, grade‑by‑grade tuition schedule or per‑term price list for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 years in the materials accessible publicly. The annual tuition range given above (USD 5,000–11,000) is an approximate range reported in local/expat guides and community summaries; it is provided here only as an estimate where a precise published schedule was not available in the school's publicly posted documents.
