Application / Evaluation Fees
- Admissions/evaluation fee: RD$2,000.00 payable in cash at the school cashier on the day of the evaluation.

Deposit to Secure Place (Registration Deposit)
- For admitted students a non‑refundable, non‑transferable deposit is required to secure a place. For the 2026/27 intake the required deposit for Grade 1 is US$3,375.00; this deposit is applied to the selected tuition payment plan and must be paid within the stated deadline after admission. The deposit is explicitly described as non‑refundable and non‑transferable.

Tuition fees by year group / per term
- The school's public admissions and registration materials do not publish a grade‑by‑grade or term‑by‑term tuition schedule for the 2026/27 academic year. The required registration deposit is applied to a Tuition Payment Plan and the specific annual and per‑term tuition amounts and the full fee schedule are provided in the school's registration/Parent–School Agreement and tuition payment plan documents supplied to families at admission. (No publicly accessible, current table of tuition amounts per grade or per term was found in the school's published admissions or registration materials.)

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Deposit timing: the registration deposit must be paid within the deadline stated in the admissions confirmation (for 2026/27 Grade 1 deposits: within three days of admission). The deposit is applied to the selected Tuition Payment Plan and reduces the amount due under that plan.
- Payment plans: families select a Tuition Payment Plan (Plan de Pago) as part of the enrollment process; the deposit is applied against that plan and the balance is due according to the chosen plan schedule (the Tuition Payment Plan due month referenced for 2026/27 is February 2026). Specific installment dates and deadlines are set out in the contract/enrollment paperwork given to admitted families.
- Evaluation fee handling: the RD$2,000 evaluation fee is payable in cash at the cashier on evaluation day and is separate from the registration deposit.

Boarding / Residential fees
- No boarding or residential program or boarding fees are listed in the school's admissions or registration materials; the school operates as a day school and no boarding fee schedule is published.

Other costs and typical additional charges
- Uniforms: daily uniform and physical‑education uniform are required. Some uniform items (for example the school coat) are sold through the school store. Parents are responsible for purchasing the required uniform items.
- Textbooks: textbooks are rented yearly and remain property of the school; families are responsible for the cost of any lost or damaged books. Rental arrangements and replacement charges are managed through the school.
- School events, trips and extracurricular activities: excursions and other optional activities occur during the year and may be charged separately; costs for these activities are managed on an event‑by‑event basis.
- Admission/exam payment: the admissions/examination payment is identified as non‑refundable in the school's registration/contract documents.

Refund information
- The registration/Parent–School Agreement framework includes a refund policy. The school states that the registration/placement deposit is non‑refundable and non‑transferable for the relevant admissions cycle. Historic contract language used by the school (example contract provisions published with enrollment paperwork) defines a tiered refund schedule for withdrawal dates in earlier agreements (for example: 100% refund if withdrawal notified in February; 50% if notified before May 31; 25% for June 1–July 31; and no refunds after August 1 for that contract year). The admissions deposit and the admissions/exam fee are explicitly described as non‑refundable in current admissions materials.

Fee payment options (methods)
- Cash: the admissions/evaluation fee (RD$2,000) is explicitly payable in cash at the school cashier.
- Other payment methods: the publicly available admissions and registration materials reference Tuition Payment Plans and deposits but do not publish a complete list of accepted payment methods (for example bank transfer, credit/debit card, or online payment portals are not described in the published materials). Specific accepted payment methods and the mechanics for tuition installment payments are set out in the enrollment paperwork and tuition payment plan provided to admitted families.

Summary of items not publicly published in admissions materials
- A detailed tuition schedule showing per‑grade and per‑term tuition amounts for 2026/27 was not found in publicly available registration or admissions documents. Specific installment schedules and accepted payment methods beyond the cash evaluation fee are documented in the school's enrollment/tuition contract given to admitted families rather than posted as a public fee table.
