Billing schedule and payment terms
- Entrance fee (Cuota de Ingreso) is payable at the time of acceptance; specific instalment arrangements may be published for particular intakes (for example, the Nursery 2026 entrance fee instalment plan).
- Annual matrícula is charged at enrolment and is shown as a separate charge from monthly tuition. Monthly tuition (pensión) is billed over nine months (March–November). Parents receive a payment code to make the required payments at designated banks. Payments for admission services (application fee) are also made with a provided code at the bank.
- If a student joins after the month begins, the full monthly pension for that month is due.

Boarding fees
- Not applicable. San Silvestre operates as a day school; there are no boarding fees listed.

Other costs and recurring charges
- The school lists a small optional annual association fee for the school association (Association membership) and an optional parental association fee:
- Optional annual Association fee for the school's Asociación Civil: S/. 325 (optional, voluntary).
- Optional annual APAFA (Parents Association) contribution: S/. 250 per family (optional).
- Items included in the monthly pension: the pensionary charge covers general notebooks, textbooks, study trips, international exam fees, general art supplies and many standard school activities; extra‑curricular activities are normally included. In certain cases where a student needs a specific personal item (for example, a scientific calculator), the school provides or loans items without additional charge. The pension is designed to cover the standard in‑school materials and most curricular trips and international examination rights.
- Uniforms, specific personal supplies beyond what is listed, optional private lessons or selected third‑party services, and certain special equipment are billed separately when applicable; those amounts are not shown as fixed items in the headline fee schedule.

Refunds and cancellation
- Application (processing) fee: S/. 500 — explicitly stated as non‑refundable and non‑transferable.
- Entrance fee (Cuota de Ingreso): payable on acceptance and described as non‑transferable and non‑refundable.
- Matrícula and pension payments are governed by the school's contractual terms; the school's published admissions and fees materials specify the non‑refundable nature of the entrance fee and the conditions that apply to late starts and monthly billing. Specific refund conditions for matrícula or pension in exceptional cases (withdrawal, relocation, etc.) are subject to the school's contractual rules and should be confirmed with the school's admissions/finance office.

Payment options and how payments are made
- Payment channels referenced in the school's admissions information include payment at banks using a payment code issued by the school; the application fee specifically is paid using the family's application code and the bank payment process. The entrance fee is denominated in USD while matrícula and pensiones are denominated in Peruvian soles; families will receive instructions and payment codes for bank payment.

Summary (practical points for parents)
- Expect an application processing charge of S/. 500 at the time of application.
- On acceptance, an entrance fee in USD is payable and varies by grade (USD 16,500 down to USD 8,500 depending on level). The entrance fee is non‑refundable and non‑transferable.
