Limitations — brief note on published detail
- The published Portugal fees give one-time admission fees by curriculum, monthly rates (12 payments) by curriculum, the registration renewal fee, discounts, and the AP-course surcharge, but they do not publish a separate, detailed fee schedule by individual school year/grade or a per-term invoice amount. The published schedule also does not specify accepted payment methods or a formal refund policy on the fees page. For clarity: the amounts above are the published one-time and monthly rates and the explicitly stated additional charges and discounts for Portugal Hubs.
