Introduction

Colégio Planalto is a boys' school in Lisbon, Portugal, located at Rua Armindo Rodrigues 28, 1600-414. Serving ages 1 to 18, it offers education from creche through the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in the secondary years. The early years follow the Optimist program, and the school emphasizes personalized teaching within a Christian perspective, with a teacher-led approach and close collaboration with families. The school is managed by Cooperativa Fomento de Centros de Ensino and is based on a commitment to cognitive, cultural, and artistic development alongside rigorous academic preparation. The Telheiras campus, moved there in 1983, features a 1996 building housing Pre-School, services, the Salão Nobre, and a Chapel; a Creche building added in 2008 expands facilities. A dedicated Gabinete de Apoio Psicopedagógico (GAP) opened in 2022 to support learning across creche to IB. Signature programs include the Optimist project and Education for Values, promoting reading, logic, and language development.

Tuition fees by year group (headline monthly amounts found)

- 1st cycle (primary) - monthly tuition reported: €472.
- 2nd cycle (upper primary / lower secondary) - monthly tuition reported: €570.

Note: the figures above were reported together as "mensalidades" (monthly tuition) in the source cited. Full itemised fees by individual school year, per-term breakdowns, and separate fees for nursery, pre‑school stages, middle school, or IB years were not published in the material located.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The available information identifies fees as "mensalidades" (monthly payments). No formal public schedule specifying the billing cycle (exact number of instalments per academic year), due dates, or late payment penalties for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years was found.

Boarding fees

- No boarding provision or boarding fees were identified; Colégio Planalto operates as a day school serving the local Telheiras / Lumiar community. No published boarding programme or associated fees were found.

Other recurring or one‑off costs

- No current published prices were found for uniforms, lunches/meals, extracurricular activities, school trips, textbooks, technology levies, or capital/development levies specific to the 2026/27 or 2025/26 years. The historical reporting that exists notes that meal costs and extracurriculars are typically charged in addition to mensalidades, but specific amounts or mandatory levies were not publicly listed.

Refund information

- No definitive, published list of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, direct debit, credit card, instalment platforms) was found for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. The only fee descriptors located were labelled as monthly tuition amounts rather than payment‑method details.

Summary and data currency

- The most specific fee figures located are from a public article that reported registration, enrolment and monthly tuition amounts (see amounts above); those figures were published in earlier material and were not presented as a current 2026/27 fee schedule. No up‑to‑date, itemised 2026/27 or 2025/26 fee schedule was publicly available in the sources located, and the school's public site returned an access error during retrieval attempts.

Practical note for database use

- Use the registered amounts above only as historical reference: Registration €220; enrolment €255 (1st year) / €293 (2nd year); monthly tuition €472 (1st cycle) / €570 (2nd cycle). Additional, up‑to‑date per‑year or per‑term breakdowns, payment terms, refunds, uniforms and other mandatory costs were not found in publicly accessible documents for 2025/26 or 2026/27.
