Fees

Application fees
- No specific application or enrollment (inscripción/matrícula) fee amount is published in the school's publicly available admissions materials for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26). The admissions process requires submission of an application, diagnostic evaluation and interview as part of enrollment procedures.

Tuition fees by year group and per term
- No published schedule of tuition (colegiatura) amounts by grade, term, or academic year is available for 2026/27 (or for 2025/26). The school operates the regular Preescolar / Primaria / Secundaria / Preparatoria sections and follows an August–June academic calendar, but specific per-term or per-year tuition figures are not provided in the public materials reviewed.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No itemized billing calendar (number of installments, exact due dates, or term/semester breakdowns) is published in the public materials for 2026/27 or 2025/26. Mexican regulation requires schools to provide parents with the full cost breakdown and a calendar of payments in writing prior to inscription; this is an applicable legal expectation for the billing schedule.
- The school collects patrimonial data and uses recurring credit-card authorization for payments when applicable; parents sign an acceptance of recurring charges and provide card details for recurring billing. The school's privacy/payment policy records fields for bank and credit-card information used for payment processing. This indicates credit-card recurring payments (and bank-related payment data) are accepted as a method for tuition collection.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not offered; Discovery School operates as a day school with standard daytime schedules for its sections (no boarding or resident tuition is listed). Daily schedules and section hours are published for school programs.

Other costs and recurring charges
- Fees that commonly apply at private schools — such as uniform purchase, extracurricular program fees, exam or re-evaluation fees, materials and books, student insurance, transportation, cafeteria or meal plans, and special course fees — are not published with amounts in the school's public admissions or institutional materials for 2026/27 or 2025/26. The school does offer after-school and extracurricular programs, which typically incur separate charges, but no specific price list is published.

Refund information
- No published refund policy or explicit rules on refunding enrollment/colegiatura payments for withdrawal or dismissal are available in the public materials for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 cycles. Policies on refunds and retention of fees are normally included in enrollment contracts or the written financial terms provided to parents at registration.

Fee payment options
- The school accepts payment methods that include credit-card payments with recurring authorization and collects bank and card data for processing recurring charges. Other common payment methods at similar institutions (bank transfer, deposit, or in-person payment) may be used, but specific accepted methods beyond recurring card authorization are not listed with detail in the publicly available materials.

Summary of available fee information
- Exact numeric amounts for application fees, per-grade tuition (per term or per year), boarding costs, uniform costs, refund terms, and a precise billing calendar for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26) are not published in the school's publicly accessible admissions or institutional materials. Admissions and the school's administrative offices provide enrollment procedures and collect payment-authorisation data, and the privacy/payment notice documents the use of credit-card recurring charges for tuition collection. For any numeric fee schedule or formal billing calendar, the school provides the detailed amounts and payment calendar directly as part of the enrollment/contract process.
