- For grades Pre‑Kinder (PK) through P4: PEN 2,590 per pension/payment.
- For grades P5 through S5: PEN 2,850 per pension/payment.
- Billing format and annual total: tuition is divided into 10 monthly pensions plus one matrícula payment, for a total of 11 equal payments per academic year. Therefore:
- PK–P4: each of the 11 equal payments is PEN 2,590; annual total = PEN 2,590 × 11 = PEN 28,490.
- P5–S5: each of the 11 equal payments is PEN 2,850; annual total = PEN 2,850 × 11 = PEN 31,350.
- Each regular pension/payment amount above is the standard scheduled payment; the school presents the tuition as the pension value with the billing split described.
