- Payment method for the entrance fee: bank transfer only; bank account details are provided to parents by the school after an offer of a place. The entrance fee is payable in a single, non‑divisible payment.

Tuition (pensions) — monthly and annual amounts (amounts effective for the 2026 school year)
- Billing structure: tuition (pensiones) is charged monthly during the school year. The school lists monthly amounts (in Peruvian soles) by grade group and provides the corresponding total annual amount (sum of the monthly payments). The 2026 monthly and total annual amounts are:
- Spielgruppe (monthly): PEN 2,800 — Total annual: PEN 28,000.
- Inicial (monthly): PEN 3,330 — Total annual: PEN 33,300.
- 1°–III° (monthly): PEN 3,380 — Total annual: PEN 33,800.
- IV°–V° (monthly): PEN 3,200 — Total annual: PEN 32,000.
These monthly amounts are the standard pension amounts that include materials and books provided through the school's book‑bank system.

Detailed billing schedule and payment terms (2026 examples as listed)
- First payment (matrícula / first monthly pension): window shown as January 20–31 (matrícula). Subsequent monthly due dates in 2026 were listed as: March 31; April 30; May 31; June 30; July 31; August 31; September 30; October 31; November 30 (these constitute the periodic billing dates for the monthly pensions). The full schedule for the year is published in the school's financial regulations.
- No discount is granted for paying the full year in advance; the school also states that pension amounts will not change during the year once set. Late payment consequences include interest on arrears calculated at the rate established by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, possible reporting to credit risk bureaus after sustained non‑payment, retention of academic certificates, and potential non‑renewal of enrollment for the following year.

Boarding (residential) fees
- The Pestalozzi Colegio Suizo Perú operates as a day school in Miraflores and does not list boarding or residential services; therefore there are no boarding fees.

Other costs and recurring charges
- Textbooks and materials: the school operates a Banco del Libro (book‑bank) that supplies textbooks and many materials as part of the pension service; reusable books are issued and must be returned in good condition; families are responsible for replacing lost or non‑reusable items. Costs to replace lost/damaged books are charged to parents.
- External examination and certification fees: parents pay the registration/exam fees for external language and international certifications (examples listed include Cambridge English exams, DELF French exams, and International Baccalaureate examination fees where applicable). These fees are additional to the pension.
- Optional activities and trips: excursions, cultural visits, extracurricular optional activities and the grade‑level project week (when applicable) are charged separately and borne by parents. Some optional workshops or extracurriculars may have separate fees.
- Uniforms: physical‑education uniforms are required; the parent association (APAFA) participates in sales of uniforms. The cost of required sports/PE uniforms and any optional formal uniform items is paid by families (specific price lists for uniforms are handled through the school/APAFA).

Refunds and withdrawals
- Entrance fee (cuota de ingreso): treated as a single, one‑time payment that secures the student's place. If a student withdraws or transfers, a proportional refund of the entrance fee is calculated in accordance with the Ministry regulation (DS N°005‑2021‑ED) and the school's admission rules; the school requires a formal, legalized written request for refund and may deduct outstanding debts from the refund. The school has up to six months from the student's last day of attendance to process the refund.
- Monthly pensions and matriculation: the matrícula equals one month's pension and is charged at enrollment; refund rules for matrícula and pensions on withdrawal follow the school's financial regulations and the applicable national regulation (DS N°005‑2021‑ED) regarding proportional refunds. Parents must submit the required formal documentation to initiate refunds.

Fee payment options and practical notes
- Entrance fee: bank transfer only (the school provides account details to the family after a place is offered).
- Matriculation and pension payments: the school's online matrícula platform is used to complete enrollment and to pay the first installment at registration; the financial regulations reference standard treasury procedures for collecting pensions and note interest for late payment as established by the Central Reserve Bank. Specific accepted payment instruments (for example, direct debit, credit card, checks) are not itemized in the public financial regulations; parents receive the detailed instructions and acceptable payment channels during the admission/matriculation process.

(Amounts and schedules stated above are the figures published for the 2026 school year; entrance‑fee tables in the school's admission annex also list the ranges shown for 2027.)
