For multiple children: first child pays 100% of the service fee; second and subsequent children pay 50% each. The service fee must be paid within 15 days of receiving the admission letter. The Cooperative Reserve contribution is irreparable (not subject to refund or redistribution).
Tuition (regular monthly pension) by year group - General (monthly) tuition (pensión general): S/. 2,040.00 per month (monthly tuition that covers the regular education service). This monthly tuition is fixed annually by the General Assembly of Members. - Notes on year groups: the published fee schedule gives a single general monthly pension amount that applies to the regular education service; separate per‑grade monthly amounts are not provided in the published schedule. The monthly pension covers regular instruction only.
Billing schedule and payment terms - The service fee (one‑off Cooperative Reserve contribution) is due within 15 days after receipt of the admission letter; failure to pay within that period may void the admission. - Monthly tuition is charged as a mensualidad (monthly fee) and is set annually by the Cooperative's General Assembly; the school requires payment of the first pension in order to exercise membership rights in the Cooperative. Specific installment counts or a detailed monthly payment calendar are determined by the school/Cooperative's billing schedule.
Boarding fees - Boarding is not offered as part of the school's listed services; there are no boarding fees applicable. The school's published services describe cafeteria, book‑bank and extracurricular workshop arrangements but do not list residential or boarding options.
Other costs and routine charges - Workshops: artistic, sports and formative workshops are provided free of charge within the standard after‑school schedule listed by the school. - Bank of Books: a cooperative book‑rental system (Banco de Libros) is available for members of the Cooperative to rent textbooks and participating reading‑plan materials; this is presented as a savings/rental system for Cooperative members. Additional charges for rented books may apply under that program. - Uniforms and individual materials: specific uniform costs or standard‑supply charges are not itemized in the published fee summary; parents should plan for standard uniform and personal supply purchases as customary for enrolment.
Refunds and non‑refundable items - The Service Fee (Cooperative Reserve contribution) is described as irreparable and therefore not refundable or distributable to members, former members or heirs. - Other refund terms (for admission fee, tuition, or other charges) are governed by Cooperative policies and statutory provisions; the Cooperative's publications state the irreparability of the Reserve contribution explicitly.
Fee payment options and administrative channels - Payments and Cooperative administration are managed through the school/Cooperative administrative platforms and procedures; the published admissions material identifies Cooperative systems and member channels for payment and administration. Specific payment channel options (for example, which banks, online payment platforms, or whether credit‑card acceptance is offered) are handled through the Cooperative's payment procedures. Parents are expected to follow the Cooperative's published payment instructions at enrolment.
Year covered - The published fee figures above are those presented for the 2025 school year and the Cooperative's admissions material addressing 2025/2026 admissions; the Cooperative sets monthly tuition and stage contributions annually.
