Tuition by term / annual totals
- La pensión se publica como importe mensual (S/ 1,710.00 para 2026). El colegio factura la pensión con vencimiento mensual; el cálculo de un total por trimestre o por año depende del número de mensualidades que la familia acuerde con la tesorería al formalizar la matrícula y del esquema de pagos vigente. Los montos anuales o por trimestre no están desglosados en la información pública; por tanto en esta ficha se registra el importe mensual publicado.
Billing schedule y condiciones de pago
- Plazo: la pensión vence cada fin de mes. La institución aplica intereses por mora a partir del día siguiente al vencimiento; el interés máximo se ajusta a la tasa fijada por el Banco Central de Reserva (BCR). En caso de atraso de dos o más pensiones mensuales, la familia es notificada y, de mantenerse la mora, la plaza puede no ser ratificada para el siguiente año escolar. - Procedimiento de cobranza y canales autorizados: pagos a través de las agencias del Banco Interamericano de Finanzas (BANBIF) y mediante la opción Pago Efectivo integrada en la plataforma Sieweb. La institución también declara la tesorería como área de contacto para gestiones de pago.
Boarding / residencia
- No consta un programa de internado/boarding en los materiales públicos del colegio; Montealto opera como colegio diurno y ofrece servicio de comedor a las alumnas (servicio de comedor gestionado por un concesionario externo y facturado directamente por éste). En consecuencia, no hay tarifas de internado publicadas.
Otras cuotas y costes adicionales
- Servicio de comedor: coste y forma de pago a cargo del concesionario externo (se contrata y paga directamente con el proveedor). - Uniforme obligatorio: el uso del uniforme es obligatorio; el reglamento describe las piezas requeridas (blusa con insignia, falda gris, chaleco, chompa, medias, zapatos, ropa deportiva y buzo), pero los precios del uniforme no se publican en los documentos oficiales. - Derechos por certificados y evaluaciones de recuperación: existen cargos por emisión de certificados y por evaluaciones de recuperación académica; esos importes se consideran parte de los recursos propios del colegio y se cobran según el concepto. No hay un desglose de tarifas individuales para estos conceptos en los documentos públicos. - Curso de adaptación (ejemplo de coste publicado para actividades puntuales): Curso de adaptación a primer grado 2025 — hasta 30 de noviembre S/ 1,000.00; a partir del 1 de diciembre S/ 1,250.00. (Este es un costo separado, por actividad puntual, que se publicó para el curso 2025). - Seguro y materiales: la pensión de enseñanza incluye seguro contra accidentes (modalidad presencial) y materiales educativos, según el reglamento.
Refunds and cancellations
- No se publica una política detallada y numérica de devoluciones/reembolsos en los documentos públicos disponibles (el reglamento regula matrícula, cuotas de ingreso y obligaciones, pero no detalla condiciones numéricas de reembolso de la cuota de ingreso o matrícula). En los documentos figura que la cuota de ingreso es un pago único e invertido en equipamiento anual, y que la matrícula y pensión no están sujetos a descuentos por beneficios familiares en determinadas condiciones; sin embargo, no hay una cláusula pública con un calendario o porcentajes de reembolso.
Formas de pago aceptadas y gestión administrativa
- Canales formales para el pago de pensiones: agencias del BANBIF y Pago Efectivo (opción Sieweb). La tesorería del colegio es la unidad encargada de la gestión de cobros y trámites económicos (datos de contacto de tesorería se publican en la sección de información complementaria). No se publica un listado público de tarjetas de crédito/débito aceptadas ni pagos por transferencia internacional en la documentación disponible.
Notas sobre alcance de los datos publicados
- Montos expresados (pensión escolar, matrícula y cuota de ingreso) corresponden a los importes publicados para el periodo 2026 (con el historial 2022–2026 también disponible). Los documentos oficiales del colegio publican el importe mensual de la pensión, la cuota de matrícula (igual al valor de la pensión mensual) y la cuota de ingreso única; no se encuentra en los materiales públicos un desglose por curso/grado (niveles primaria y secundaria aparecen bajo el mismo importe de pensión publicada) ni un desglose por trimestre o anualidades explícitas. Por tanto esta ficha registra los importes concretos publicados (S/ 1,710.00 pensión/matrícula; S/ 6,500.00 cuota de ingreso para 2026) y apunta que otros cargos (comedor, uniformes, certificados, actividades puntuales) se cobran aparte y no están desglosados en la documentación pública disponible.
