Fees

Application fees

- Initial admissions appointment and diagnostic test: no charge.
- No fixed numeric “application fee” amount or published one‑time admissions fee is listed for APDE Campoalegre in the school's public materials. For families this means there is no publicly posted application charge, though the school handles enrollment and billing directly with each family.

Tuition fees (by year group and per term/annual detail)

- Tuition amounts by year group (preschool / primary / secondary / IB years) are not published as numerical values in the school's public materials. The school states that colegiatura (tuition) varies according to grade. No per‑term or per‑year fee schedule with numeric amounts is available in the public documents. Parents should expect that tuition is set by grade level and communicated directly to families upon application or enrollment.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Academic year: the school year begins in January and ends in mid‑October; this is the school's published academic calendar framework.
- No publicly posted standard billing calendar (for example: monthly, quarterly, or per‑term invoice dates) or detailed payment‑term schedule with numeric due dates was found in the school's public materials. Families receive billing arrangements directly from the school administration.
- Initial admissions steps (visit and diagnostic) are free; subsequent enrollment and tuition billing are handled after inscription.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not offered. APDE Campoalegre operates as a day school with published class hours and extracurricular schedules; no boarding or dormitory service or boarding fees are listed. Class schedule details and campus descriptions confirm the day‑school model.

Transport / bus fees

- Bus and hub transport services are available. Several pickup “hubs” are offered at strategic locations; most hub routes are provided without additional cost, while specific hubs or door‑to‑door services may incur an extra charge (the site notes some hubs are “con costo adicional”). Numeric transport fees are not published. Expect transport to appear as an optional paid service with costs shared directly by the administration.

Other costs and fees

- Uniforms: uniforms are required for in‑person attendance and APDE uses a centralized supplier arrangement for uniforms (sales through the APDE supplier network). Uniform prices are not published on the school's public pages.
- Textbooks and learning materials: textbooks and curricular books are purchased through designated providers and suppliers (examples named in APDE materials include IGA, AMCO and Expreso Bibliográfico); the cost of books is not included as a published numeric line item on the school site.
- Optional insurance and family support programs: an optional school medical/accident insurance and a “Previsión Educativa” program (which can cover tuition in specified circumstances) are offered as additional paid services; pricing and terms for these programs are not published publicly.
- Extracurricular academies: extracurricular academies run beyond core hours (until about 3:00 p.m. in published schedules); some extracurriculars or extended‑day services may carry additional fees, but numeric amounts are not published.

Refund information

- No public refund policy or numeric refund schedule for tuition, registration, or other fees was found in the school's publicly available materials. Families should request the school's formal refund and cancellation terms in writing as part of enrollment documents.

Fee payment options

- Online payments are supported through the APDE payment portal (searchable by student ID / carné). The portal provides a way for families to make electronic payments.
- APDE materials indicate common payment methods include cash, bank transfer or deposit for family/ community transactions in APDE publications; the school also provides a formal online payment channel. No explicit published list showing acceptance of specific credit‑card brands or merchant terms was found.

Practical notes for parents (fees‑related)

- Exact numeric amounts for application, enrollment and tuition (per grade, per term, or per year) are not published in the school's public materials; the school communicates financial terms and the detailed fee schedule directly to applicants and enrolled families. Expect separate charges or options for transport, uniforms, textbooks, extracurriculars and optional insurances.

Brief summary of what was found and remaining gaps

- Found: APDE Campoalegre publishes admissions steps (appointment and diagnostic test free), the academic calendar framework (school year Jan–mid‑Oct), availability of bus services with some hubs possibly charged, existence of an online payments portal and that uniforms/books/optional insurance and support programs are part of the family cost picture.
- Not found / gap: No public numeric fee schedule (no amounts for application, tuition by year/term, boarding fees, refund table, or published billing calendar) is available in the school's public materials; therefore exact per‑grade, per‑term and per‑year numeric fees cannot be provided from the school's published resources.
