Fee Breakdown

Fees

Application / registration fees
- New-student registration (inscripción) is charged per level. Typical figures reported for ITJ campuses (Guadalajara/Palomar) are: Maternal: MXN 10,065; Pre‑school: MXN 13,000–16,670; Primary: MXN 10,500–12,375; Middle School (Secundaria): MXN 26,430; High School (Preparatoria): MXN 26,950.

Tuition by school year / level (monthly and annual)
- Maternal (Nursery level): Monthly ≈ MXN 7,405; Annual (reported) ≈ MXN 74,050.
- Pre‑school / Kinder: Monthly ≈ MXN 8,250–10,130; Annual (reported) ≈ MXN 130,000–166,700.
- Primary (Elementary): Monthly ≈ MXN 9,975–11,756; Annual (reported) ≈ MXN 99,750–117,560.
- Middle School (Secundaria): Monthly ≈ MXN 14,235; Annual (reported) ≈ MXN 260,430.
- High School (Preparatoria): Monthly ≈ MXN 15,860; Annual (reported) ≈ MXN 260,950.

Note: those monthly figures are the commonly published monthly amounts (the site and parent documents present monthly and annual equivalents). Where a range is shown above, the range reflects variation by specific grade within that level or by campus offering.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Annual tuition is commonly split into monthly instalments for the school year. For ITJ Palomar (Guadalajara) an earlier explicit schedule split the annual tuition into 11 monthly payments (August through June).
- Current contract language used by ITJ campuses for the 2025–2026 cycle requires monthly payment of colegiatura and establishes timing-based adjustments: a small early‑payment benefit for paying in advance, and a late fee for payments after the stated due date (the 2025–2026 contract specifies a 3% anticipado benefit for payment during the last 5 days of the prior month and a 10% extemporaneous charge for payments made after the 10th natural day of the month). Families are required to provide payment confirmation and include the student reference in transfers.
- The school may operate specific early‑re‑enrolment or discount programs (examples in past schedules included a discount for early payment of the previous month's instalment); precise discount windows and percentages can vary by cycle.

Billing schedule — practical points
- Typical instalment months reported: either 10 or 11 monthly payments across the academic year (examples include Aug–June split into 11 payments or other school-year instalment breakdowns). Parents should expect the school to issue the instalment calendar and payment deadlines at enrolment.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not offered at ITJ Palomar/Valle Real — ITJ campuses operate as day schools (no boarding/residential programme and therefore no boarding fees).

Other costs and mandatory add‑ons
- Uniforms: purchased separately through the school's approved uniform supplier; uniform costs are not included in inscription or monthly tuition.
- Books, learning-platform licences, technology devices and specialised software: charged separately (school materials and platform licences are not included in the tuition figure).
- School insurance / tutor insurance: schools in the ITJ network have charged a guardian/insurance premium in past cycles (example: MXN 1,250 in the 2021 Palomar schedule); schools also maintain an accident insurance policy for students (details and premiums vary by cycle).
- Association of Parents fee (APF) and similar community fees: examples in prior schedules include a parent association fee (example: MXN 600 in the 2021 Palomar document). Extracurricular activities, field trips, special projects, and graduation events are typically billed separately.
- After‑school clubs / extracurriculars: additional registration and monthly or per‑term fees may apply for after‑school programmes. Some campuses require card payment for extracurricular registrations and list card types accepted for those payments.

Refund information
- Refunds are limited and governed by the contract terms and by the Acuerdo que Establece las Bases Mínimas de Información para la Comercialización de los Servicios Educativos (published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on 10 March 1992). ITJ's standard contract (2025–2026 wording used across campuses) states that reinscription refunds and any refunds are handled under those legal terms and the school's contract conditions; refund entitlement or limits depend on the specific program and timing and must follow the formal written procedures stated in the contract.

Fee payment options
- Online payment portal: the Palomar campus publishes a parent/payment portal link (payment portal domain: itjgdl.servoescolar.mx) for electronic payments.
- Bank transfer / interbank transfer: the campus contract references transfer as an accepted method (families must include student reference in transfer).
- In‑person payments at the school cashier (Caja): accepted forms include debit or credit card and cheque in some cases (specific accepted card brands and cheque payee names vary by grade and campus).
- School payment platform (SESWEB) and card payments: the contract and campus pages reference online payment tools and card payments (Visa/Mastercard commonly accepted for extracurricular payments).

Summary of availability and currency of figures
- Published, grade‑by‑grade numeric tuition schedules for the 2026/27 academic year were not publicly available at the time of this review. The figures given above use the most recent publicly posted level summaries and campus fee schedules found for ITJ Palomar/Guadalajara and ITJ network documents (examples include a 2021 Palomar fee schedule and 2024/2025 published level ranges), together with the ITJ standard contract language used for the 2025–2026 cycle that defines payment terms, discounts and late fees. Where specific amounts vary by grade or by campus the entry shows a range or an explicit earlier‑cycle figure.
