Application / Registration fee (Inscripción)
- Registration (Inscripción) is charged once per academic year at enrollment. Typical amounts reported fall in a range between MXN 12,500 and MXN 25,000. Example figures published for the school include MXN 22,713 and a range MXN 20,001–25,000.
Tuition (Colegiatura) — amounts and frequency
- Tuition is charged as a recurring colegiatura. Common billing practice is to spread the annual tuition over 10 monthly payments (colegiaturas pagadas en 10 parcialidades). Typical monthly colegiatura figures reported are in the range MXN 11,300–15,000, with a frequently cited amount of MXN 11,700. An example “costo anual básico” shown is MXN 109,980 (equivalent to the monthly range when billed over 10 months). These monthly/annual figures are used for Preescolar, Primaria, Secundaria and Bachillerato with variation by grade.
Tuition by school level (typical ranges, per-month and per-school-year equivalents)
- Preschool (Preescolar): MXN 11,300–13,500 per month (billed over 10 months); approximate annual equivalent MXN 113,000–135,000.
- Primary (Primaria): MXN 11,300–15,000 per month (billed over 10 months); approximate annual equivalent MXN 113,000–150,000.
- Middle school (Secundaria): MXN 11,300–15,000 per month (billed over 10 months); approximate annual equivalent MXN 113,000–150,000.
- High school (Bachillerato / Preparatoria): MXN 11,300–15,000 per month (billed over 10 months); approximate annual equivalent MXN 113,000–150,000.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Typical schedule: an annual registration (inscripción) charged at enrollment, then tuition (colegiaturas) collected in monthly installments across the academic year, commonly structured as 10 monthly payments. Payment deadlines, late fees, and exact installment dates are set by the school's finance office at registration.
- Discounts and concessions: sibling discounts, loyalty or early-payment discounts are applied in certain cases; published examples include sibling discounts (e.g., discount for a third sibling, larger discounts for additional siblings).
Boarding / Residence fees
- Boarding is not part of the school's program; the campus operates as a day school and no boarding fees apply.
Other mandatory and typical additional costs
- Uniforms: an annual cost for daily uniform(s) is commonly required; published examples show typical annual uniform costs around MXN 3,000–7,000 (one citation lists MXN 7,000 as a typical daily-uniform cost).
- School supplies and textbooks (útiles y libros): expect an annual cost commonly in the MXN 6,000–12,000 range. One published example lists MXN 10,000 for supplies.
- Transport (autobús escolar): when used, school transport is an additional charge; published ranges for transport exceed MXN 20,000 per year in some guides.
- Meals / cafeteria (comedor): if provided, meal plans are an additional cost (examples in directories list modest monthly cafeteria costs under MXN 1,000).
- Extracurricular activities and after‑school programs: many activities carry separate fees; these are charged in addition to colegiatura.
Scholarships, discounts and financial assistance
- Scholarships and discounts are administered by the school's internal committee. Scholarship types include socio‑economic or merit-based awards that apply only to colegiaturas (tuition) and do not cover uniforms, books, transport, or extracurricular fees. Some programs (for example, a guaranteed education benefit for orphans) provide tuition exemptions and partial registration fee reductions under defined conditions. Scholarship applications normally require a socio‑economic study and renewal is typically annual. The socio‑economic study fee is stated as MXN 820 and is payable at the school cashier or via the SchoolNet platform.
Refunds and cancellations (where stated in school policy documents)
- Some specific internal benefits and scholarship provisions include non‑refund clauses; for example, certain guaranteed‑education benefits are not refundable if studies are not continued. Scholarships typically apply only to colegiaturas and do not include refunds for other items such as uniforms, books, transportation or activities. The socio‑economic study fee is charged at application and payment channels are specified in school documents. For precise refund or cancellation rules applicable to a given payment (inscripción, colegiatura prepagada, actividades extraescolares), follow the school's published administrative regulations and the finance office instructions at the time of enrollment.
Payment methods and how to pay
- Documented payment channels include paying at the school cashier (caja) and paying the socio‑economic study fee or other items through the SchoolNet online platform by credit or debit card. Parents should expect the school to also provide standard methods such as bank deposit/transfer or other institutional payment options (these are arranged through the school's finance office at enrollment).
Notes for parents (practical summary)
- Expect two main upfront charges at enrollment: the one‑time registration (inscripción) and the first colegiatura or the first installment of colegiaturas. Monthly tuition is most commonly billed over 10 payments through the academic year. Budget separately for uniforms, books/supplies, transport and extracurricular activities. Scholarship awards normally apply only to tuition and have separate application and renewal requirements.
