Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is billed in 11 monthly payments for the school year (payments run August through June). Payments are due within the first ten days of each month; payments made after that date incur interest for late payment. Re-enrollment is conditioned on timely payment of tuition. Failure to pay three or more monthly tuitions authorizes the school to suspend educational services for the student. Other (non-inscription/colegiatura) payments are made at the school's payment office. Requests for refunds must be submitted at the campus that issued the invoice.
Boarding fees
- Boarding: Not applicable. Escuela Tomás Alva Edison is a day school and does not provide boarding services. Transport is provided as a separate, paid service.
Other costs and recurring extras
- Transport (servicio de transporte escolar): charged separately for the school-owned transport service; routes and fees vary by route and are billed in addition to colegiatura. Payments for transport are handled through the school's payment channels.
- After‑school / extended‑hours program (TAE Plus): after‑school workshops and extended-care services have separate fees and enrollment; program details and schedules are published for each academic year and are charged in addition to tuition.
- Uniforms, school supplies, extracurricular activity fees, field trips, exam/certification fees (Cambridge, IB external examination costs where applicable), meal plans and similar items are additional and billed separately. Other one-off or occasional charges are processed at the school's cash office.
Refund information and cancellation
- Written notice of a student withdrawal delivered at least 60 calendar days before the start of the school year entitles the family to a 100% refund of the inscription (registration/re‑registration) fee. If the written notice is provided after that 60‑day period, families are eligible only for a refund of any tuition payments they have paid in advance but not for inscription/re‑registration payments. Refund requests must be submitted at the campus where the invoice was issued. Tuition amounts will not vary during the corresponding school year.
Fee payment options
- Accepted payment methods include credit and debit card payments at the school's payment terminals and bank transfers. The school operates an online payments portal for family payments and issues invoices through the campus; any changes to payment channels are communicated by the school.
