Fees

Annual tuition at Colegio Hispano Inglés ranges from EUR 8,632 to EUR 10,132 for 2026/27.

Application / Registration fee

- A single family registration (first-time enrolment) fee applies: EUR 1,500 payable once at the time of enrolment. This fee is non-refundable.

Tuition structure and headline amounts

- The school operates a single all‑inclusive monthly fee that covers tuition and most school services. The monthly all‑inclusive fee range is: EUR 664 (highest) to EUR 384 (lowest), with the exact amount within that range depending on the number of siblings enrolled.

- The all‑inclusive monthly fee explicitly includes: dual‑curriculum instruction (Spanish and British), daily German and Mandarin classes within school hours, meals (breakfast/snack for Baby & Nursery; lunch, fruit, milk and water for other stages), accident medical insurance and civil liability insurance, psychopedagogical guidance, costs of curricular visits and excursions with transport, and access to the school support fund.

Tuition by term / by year group (detailed breakdown)

- Tuition is presented by the school as a monthly all‑inclusive fee; a separate published breakdown by school year, year group, or by academic term (per‑term fees) is not provided in the school's published fee information. The school's stated billing model and published amounts are the monthly all‑inclusive figures above.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Regular tuition is treated as a monthly charge under the all‑inclusive model; families receive a monthly school charge rather than many separate bills.

- Renewal of enrolment (renovación de matrícula) is collected annually in three instalments during February, March and April; the amount charged for renewal is equal to three pro‑rated parts that together equal one month's school fee. These renewal payments confirm the family's place for the following academic year. Once 15 calendar days have passed after payment of the registration and renewal fees, no refund is permitted.

- Failure to keep school fees current may result in loss of the student's place and termination of enrolment. Punctual payment of the school's established fees is an obligation of parents/guardians.

Boarding

- The school is organised as age‑specific day centres (Baby & Nursery; Infant/Primary centers in Ciudad Jardín; Secondary & Bachillerato at Tafira Alta). No boarding provision or boarding fees are published for the school.

Other costs and routine extras

- Uniform: the school's publicly posted fee information does not list a separate uniform charge or uniform price schedule. No separate uniform fee is published alongside the all‑inclusive monthly fee.

- Dining, excursions and routine curricular costs are included within the all‑inclusive monthly fee (see items included above).

- Devices and technology: the school's internal regulations describe school‑issued devices (iPad and MacBook) and state that repair costs arising from accidental damage (labour, transport and parts) are covered up to specified conditions; replacement for loss/theft or non‑accidental loss is the family's responsibility with replacement value equivalent to the device's official price. Any limits or conditions on device coverage are set out in the school regulations.

Refunds and reductions

- The initial registration fee and the renewal payments are non‑refundable after the 15‑day period referenced in the regulations.

- The school maintains a study support fund that provides fee reductions in defined hardship cases: in the event of the death of one parent, a 50% reduction of the monthly fee may apply for affected pupils; in the event of the death of both parents, the reduction may be 100%, subject to the fund's eligibility conditions (including minimum family enrolment duration and age limits).

Fee payment options

- The school's published public information does not list specific payment channels (for example, credit card, bank transfer, direct debit). Contact information (telephone) is published for the school's admissions office for payment arrangement and billing queries, but explicit payment method options are not published in the fee information.
