Fees
Application / Registration fee
- An enrollment/registration (inscripción) payment is required at the time of admission; parents complete paperwork and make the inscripción payment when a student is admitted.
Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school does not publish a public, itemised fee schedule (per-term or per-year amounts by grade) on its public materials for the 2026/27 academic year. Fee amounts for matrícula (enrollment) and pensión/mensualidad (tuition) are provided to families during the admissions appointment and on enrollment paperwork. As a result, no specific numeric tuition figures (per term or per year by year group) are publicly available to report here.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing terms (frequency of tuition billing, due dates, discounts or late-payment penalties) are communicated directly to families as part of the admissions/enrollment process and in the school's administrative regulations. A general admissions process requires an appointment with the admissions office where costs and availability are explained. No published public schedule of terms/dates or standard instalment plan was found in the school's publicly accessible materials.
Boarding / accommodation fees
- Boarding services are not listed among the school's programs; the school operates as a day school with preschool, elementary and middle-school programs. Therefore, boarding fees are not applicable. (This is based on the school's program descriptions and absence of any listed internado/boarding offering; it is an inference from the school's public materials.)
Other costs and typical additional fees
- Uniforms: The school requires official uniforms for school activities; acquisition of uniform items is a separate family cost. Specific uniform item lists and prices are not published in a public fee schedule.
- Cafeteria: Meal service is provided through a contracted cafeteria operator; cafeteria purchases are an additional cost to families (paid separately or according to the cafeteria operator's procedures).
- Extracurriculars / sports academies / clinics: Participation in certain academies, clinics or special programs (for example, external clinics hosted on campus) may carry separate fees. Those program fees are charged in addition to tuition and are communicated at the time of program registration.
- Materials / school supplies / technology: Families should expect charges for consumable materials, certain program-specific resources, and any optional technology bundles; specific amounts are provided in enrollment materials.
Refund information
- The school's administrative regulations document exists for the 2025–26 cycle (Reglamento Ciclo 25-26), but the detailed refund terms and policies were not accessible from the public link without signed access. Specific refund rules (for canceled enrollments, withdrawals, or overpayment) are therefore not available in the publicly accessible materials reviewed and are communicated through the school's administrative regulations and admissions office.
Fee payment options and methods
- No public, itemised list of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, debit, cash, online portal) was published in the materials reviewed. Payment methods and instructions are provided directly to families during admissions and in the school's administrative paperwork. The school's published contact telephone number and admissions process are the channels through which payment arrangements are confirmed.
Practical summary for parents (concise)
- Expect an initial registration/enrollment payment at admission and recurring tuition charges thereafter. Specific per-term or per-year tuition amounts by grade, billing frequency, accepted payment methods, refund rules, and exact costs for uniforms, transportation (if any), cafeteria plans and extracurriculars are provided to families during the admissions appointment and in the school's administrative/regulatory documents. No public numeric fee schedule for 2026/27 (or for 2025/26) was available in the school's publicly accessible materials that would allow reporting of exact per-term or per-year fees here.
If you need official numeric figures
- The school's admissions office and the school's administrative regulations are the official channels where exact fees, billing calendars, payment options, refund rules and itemised additional costs are provided to enrolling families. Contact details published by the school are available for direct confirmation of numeric amounts and formal fee schedules.
