Application and Admission Fees

- A single, one-off matriculation / admission payment is required to secure a pupil's place.

Reservation / Re-enrolment Fee

- A reservation fee is required to secure a place for the following academic year. For the first year this is paid as a single payment; in subsequent years the reservation payment is split into two instalments (April and May).

Tuition fees (billing schedule and instalments)

- Tuition fees are billed on an annual basis but collected in regular instalments; standard practice across the group is that tuition is payable in ten monthly instalments (September–June).
- Classroom supplies (covering classroom materials, some digital platforms and educational technology) are charged separately and are usually payable in two instalments (typically November and January).
- School insurance is charged as a single payment at the start of the academic year (commonly in September).
- School lunch is billed on an annual basis and divided across the school months (commonly September–June) to produce a fixed monthly lunch charge.

Tuition fees by year group (numeric amounts)

- The school does not publish a numeric fee schedule for each year group on the Gran Canaria campus public information pages; full, line-by-line annual or per-term tuition amounts for specific year groups are not available from the publicly accessible Gran Canaria pages. Numeric fee sheets for other AIS centres are published in separate centre-specific fee sheets, but equivalent Gran Canaria tuition figures are not publicly listed.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- There is an international residential centre associated with the Arenas group (Sulis Manor in Bath, England) used for immersion and study-stay programmes; the Gran Canaria campus itself does not operate an on‑site boarding provision for day pupils, therefore regular boarding fees are not applicable to the Gran Canaria campus.

Other costs and extras

- Uniforms, educational visits/trips, after‑school activities and some enrichment programmes are not included in tuition and are charged separately. School uniform costs and scout/PE uniform items are paid in addition to tuition.
- Extra‑curricular activities each have their own specific fees and are billed separately.
- Classroom supplies / resource fees (separate from tuition) are commonly charged as noted above.

Sibling discounts and concessions

- The group applies sibling discounts where eligible: families with three or more children may be entitled to reductions in tuition for the youngest child and discounts on admission fees for second/third siblings (specific discount levels vary by centre). Exact sibling discount details for Gran Canaria are not listed on the public Gran Canaria pages.

Refunds and refundable deposits

- Where the group publishes refundable-deposit practice at other AIS centres, a deposit or fund contribution is sometimes held and refundable under specified conditions (for example, graduation from the final year or formal resignation by stated deadlines). There is no publicly listed, itemised refund policy or numeric refund schedule published on the Gran Canaria admissions pages; specific refund terms for the Gran Canaria campus are not published on the publicly accessible pages.

Billing schedule and payment terms (summary)

- Typical billing pattern used across Arenas/AIS centres:
- Tuition: collected in ten monthly instalments (September–June).
- Reservation fee: single payment for first year; split payments (April/May) for subsequent years.
- Classroom supplies: two instalments (November and January).
- Insurance: single payment in September.
- Lunch: annual charge divided across the school months to create a fixed monthly charge (September–June).

Fee payment options (methods)

- The Gran Canaria campus public information pages do not publish a definitive list of accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, direct debit or credit card) on the public admissions pages. Payment-method practice at other AIS centres commonly includes bank transfer and card payment options (with card surcharges sometimes applied at some centres); for clear, centre-specific payment instructions and available methods for the Gran Canaria campus, the school's admissions office provides the official payment details.

Refund information (specific to Gran Canaria)

- There is no detailed, published refund schedule or full text of the Gran Canaria campus refund policy on the public pages. Refund or deposit-return conditions used by other centres indicate deposits can be refundable under stated conditions; however, no centre-specific numeric refund policy for Gran Canaria is posted publicly.

Summary of what is and is not published

- Published and confirmable for AIS centres: the types of fees that families should expect (matriculation/admission fee, reservation fee, tuition instalments, classroom supplies, insurance, lunch, extra‑curricular fees), typical billing timing (tuition in ten monthly instalments; classroom supplies in two instalments; insurance once in September; lunch spread Sep–Jun) and that some extras (uniforms, trips, activities) are charged separately.
- Not published on the Gran Canaria campus public pages: detailed numeric tuition amounts per year group, per‑term figures, explicit boarding fee schedules for the Gran Canaria campus, precise payment‑method instructions and a full text of a campus-specific refund policy. The Gran Canaria admissions and information pages do not contain a public, line‑by‑line numeric fee schedule for the current academic year.

(Notes: The Arenas group operates an international residence in England used for immersion/study‑stay programmes; this is separate from Gran Canaria campus day‑school provision. )
