How tuition is billed and the school year structure
- Tuition is charged on a recurring monthly schedule from August through May each academic year. Registration fees are billed in December and March. The school uses the Diario Oficial de la Federación exchange rate on the date a charge is made when converting currencies.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Monthly tuition installments are billed across the academic months (August–May). Registration fees are billed in December and in March. The school applies the official federal exchange rate on the date of charge for any currency conversions. Timely payment obligations and any late‑payment consequences are handled under the school's billing policies.

Boarding / Residential fees
- Boarding is not part of the core program listings for the school's divisions; there are no published boarding or residential tuition categories for the standard K–12 programs. (The school's listed programs are Early Childhood, Lower, Middle and Upper School.)

Other costs and typical additional charges
- School bus / transportation: a mandatory or optional bus program is offered; prior fee schedules have shown separate monthly/annual charges for full-route and special routes and alternative service options. Example historical figures published for earlier cycles include separate monthly bus fees and special-route surcharges.
- Testing / assessment fees: separate one‑time testing or admissions assessment fees have been charged in prior published fee schedules.
- School supplies, uniforms, extracurricular activity fees, lab fees, school ID and student activity charges apply as additional costs and are billed separately when relevant to a grade level or program activity. Fee manuals used in the wider ASF network also list student medical/insurance contributions as a separate charge in some campuses.

Refund information
- Registration/admission payments are handled under the school's billing and fee policies. Refund eligibility and deadlines (for example, written notice timing to qualify for any refundable portion of pre‑payments) are defined in the school's fee and billing policies. Parents should note that registration/admission charges are commonly treated as non‑refundable by independent schools; the school's billing policies specify procedures for refunds and documentation requirements.

Fee payment options and invoicing
- For institutional invoices and supplier payments, the school requires electronic invoicing (PDF and XML) to the designated billing address and the use of bank transfers or checks for international supplier payments; cash payments are not accepted for supplier invoices. The supplier payment policy specifies that domestic supplier checks above set limits are handled by bank transfer.

Notes on amounts and billing presentation
- The monthly and annual amounts above are the published figures available for the school divisions; registration (inscripción/reinscripción) fees are billed in December and March and are a separate charge from monthly tuition. The school states that the Diário Oficial exchange rate is used on the date a charge is made.
