Fees
Application fees
- No public, fixed application or registration fee amount is published. The school accepts online applications via its application form; any application or registration charge is provided directly by the admissions office upon request.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group)
- The school does not publish a public fee schedule with per-term or per-year amounts. Published admissions material describes fees as "various" and indicates cost varies by year group or form; specific tuition figures (per term or per year) are provided by the school on enquiry rather than in a public fee table. No definitive per-term or per-year amounts for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year are available in the school's public materials.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Payments are handled through the school's Cashiers Office; payment methods accepted include cash, cheque (with a Mexican bank account), bank transfers, and credit/debit cards. Parents who make bank deposits or transfers must email proof of payment so the payment can be traced and applied. Tax receipts (facturas) can be issued but require timely provision of billing information. The Cashiers Office hours and payment instructions are published in the parent information. The school's published calendar and parent information do not display a public monthly/termly instalment schedule; exact billing cycles (annual, termly, number of instalments) are provided directly by the school.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school's online application form includes a field asking whether families prefer day school or boarding. The school's parent information and published pages emphasise school hours, bus service, uniforms and day-to-day parent essentials, and no public boarding programme fee schedule or boarding facilities information is published. No boarding fee amounts are available in public materials, and there is no explicit, published boarding-fee schedule.

Other costs and mandatory purchases
- Uniforms: Students in Nursery through Year 8 must wear school uniform and all uniform items (except footwear, socks and swimming kit) must be purchased at the school Uniform Shop. The Uniform Shop accepts cash, cheque (Mexican bank account), bank transfer in advance, credit and debit cards. Uniform purchase costs are not published publicly.
- School bus: Bus service is optional, charged separately from tuition; bus fees are not published publicly and are billed as a separate service.
- Lunch / tuck shop: Lunch choices are available via the school cafeteria and tuck shop; monthly lunch menus are published and meals may be preordered and prepaid (the school publishes instructions to preorder and prepay one week prior). Costs for meals are not published in the public parent materials.
- Extracurricular activities and trips: The school operates a wide range of after-school clubs, sports and trips; published materials indicate these activities exist but do not publish a central price list for extracurricular fees, trips, instrument hire, exam-entry charges or similar additional costs. Expect separate charges for optional services such as buses, some clubs, external exam entries (IGCSE/IB), special trips and similar items.

Exam fees
- The school delivers Cambridge IGCSE and the IB Diploma Programme; external exam-entry charges and assessment fees (for IGCSE and IB examinations) are not listed publicly and are billed separately where applicable.

Refund information
- No public, detailed refund policy or published fee-refund schedule (for tuition, deposits, registration or uniforms) is available in the school's public admissions or parent-information materials. Any refund terms (for example, for deposits, cancellations or withdrawals) are handled according to the school's internal finance and admissions policies and must be confirmed directly with the school's Cashiers Office or Registrar.

Fee payment options and instructions
- Accepted payment methods: cash; cheque (with a Mexican bank account); bank transfer (parents must email proof of payment to ensure the payment is applied); credit and debit cards (accepted by the Cashiers Office and at the Uniform Shop). Cashiers Office hours are published in parent information. If a tax receipt (factura) is required, parents must provide the necessary billing information promptly to meet factura deadlines.

Brief summary of availability of published fee figures
- The school's public admissions and parent-information pages do not publish a fee table or downloadable fee schedule showing application fees, tuition by year group or boarding costs for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years; published pages describe fees as varying by form group and treat bus, uniform and some services as separate charges. For exact numeric amounts (application/registration fee, tuition per term, boarding fees if any, instalment/billing cycles, and refund terms), the school's admissions/finance offices provide the official fee schedule and billing options.
