Overview
- Colegio Virgen de Gracia is an education centre acogido al régimen de conciertos educativos; the core teaching for Infantil, Primaria, ESO and Bachillerato is provided under that concertado model and the centre does not charge a standard tuition fee for the funded, compulsory stages.
Application / admission fees
- There is no routine, general application or enrollment fee charged as part of the core admission process for the concertado (state‑subsidised) stages. Admissions follow the standard application procedures for the centre. (Services such as extracurricular programmes, AMPA membership or specific paid activities may have separate one‑off charges; see sections below.)
Tuition fees by school year (per year / per term)
- Infantil (Early Years): No standard tuition charged for the concertado‑funded places; families pay only for optional services they choose to contract (see other costs). - Primaria (Primary): No standard tuition charged for the concertado‑funded places; families pay only for optional services they choose to contract. - ESO (Lower Secondary): No standard tuition charged for the concertado‑funded places; families pay only for optional services they choose to contract. - Bachillerato: No standard tuition charged for the concertado‑funded Bachillerato concertado stage; families pay only for optional services they choose to contract.
Mandatory and recurring ancillary fees (examples and amounts where published)
- AMPA (parents association) annual membership: single payment of EUR 30 per family (one payment per family, regardless of number of children). Payment may be made in cash at conserjería or by bank transfer to the AMPA account. - Extracurricular activities: some activities require monthly fees and the activity registration documents show a voluntary accident/participant insurance option priced at EUR 16. Extra activities have their own monthly billing and discount rules (see Billing schedule and payment terms). - Comedor (school lunch): Comedor is an available contracted service that can be hired by day or for a regular schedule; the school's service description confirms daily menus and adaptation for allergies but does not publish a fixed per‑day or monthly price on the public service page. Families contract the comedor service separately. - Uniforms: Uniform is compulsory and the official uniform is sold through El Corte Inglés and a local uniform supplier (Uniformes Emilio Carreño S.L.); specific item prices are set by those suppliers and are not quoted as fixed school tuition. - School insurance / activity insurance: the ROF and activity forms reference the requirement or recommendation to have school/participation insurance; the voluntary extra activities insurance is shown at EUR 16 in the activities registration form.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Extracurricular activities billing schedule (example from activity registration form): matrícula + September is charged (entry shows “MATRÍCULA + SEPTIEMBRE PRIMERA SEMANA DE OCTUBRE”); subsequent monthly receipts are scheduled on a monthly cycle (some months charged first week of the following month) and the rest of months are charged in arrears. Annual payment of an activity may be offered with a discount. Returned direct debit/receipt reversals incur the bank commission for the return. A cancellation (baja) for an activity must be communicated at least one week before the end of the month to avoid being charged that full month. - Payment deadlines for extracurriculars: when paying in Administration the payment is required within the first 7 days of each month; domiciliation (direct debit) is an available option and requires submitting the IBAN and account details.
Boarding / residence
- The centre does not operate a boarding or residential programme. Services listed for families (aula matinal, comedor, extraescolares) are day‑time services; no boarding fees apply.
Other costs and fees (typical items parents pay for)
- Mandatory uniform purchases (items and styles described by stage); uniform costs are charged by the external retailer(s). - AMPA annual quota: EUR 30 per family. - Extracurricular monthly fees and perimeter costs vary by activity; activity registration forms set individual prices and include the option for a voluntary activity insurance (EUR 16 shown on the 2024/25 activities form). Discounts for activities: 10% discount for annual payment; third sibling 20% discount (as specified on the activities registration form). - Comedor and Aula Matinal: charged as contracted services (price depends on the chosen modality and schedule; can be contracted by day). The public pages describe service features and contracting options but do not publish fixed monthly or per‑day prices on the school's public service pages. - Incidental costs: course materials, specific extracurricular equipment, trips and excursions and any replacement costs for damaged or lost books/materials are charged where applicable and managed under the centre's regulations. The ROF and activity documents set rules on responsibility and replacement of materials.
Refunds and cancellation terms (where published)
- Extracurricular activities: to avoid being charged for the following month, a written cancellation (baja) must be given at least one week before the end of the month; otherwise the full monthly fee is payable. Annual payment discounts and sibling discounts are applied as described on the activity registration form. Returned receipts incur the commission for a returned direct debit. - Other services (comedor, aula matinal, AMPA): published registration materials explain contracting and payment methods; specific refund or pro‑rata arrangements are handled under each service's registration conditions or the centre's regulations (no general published tuition refund schedule for core concertado education is listed in the public administrative documents).
Accepted payment methods and practical instructions
- Cash payment at conserjería (for AMPA and some administration payments). - Bank transfer (AMPA provides an IBAN for the EUR 30 payment; activity forms provide fields for IBAN data and the centre accepts domiciliation/direct debit for regular activity payments). - Direct debit / domiciliación bancaria is used for regular monthly collections for extracurricular activities (form fields require IBAN and account holder details). Returned direct debit reversals result in the applicant being charged the bank commission that the return generates. No public indication of credit card acceptance is shown in the published registration documents.
Summary (what parents should expect financially)
- No standard tuition invoice for the concertado‑funded core stages (Infantil, Primaria, ESO, Bachillerato). Families should budget for: AMPA annual quota (EUR 30 per family), uniform purchases, contracted services (comedor, aula matinal) priced by contract, extracurricular activity fees (monthly or annual as published per activity), voluntary activity insurance where offered (EUR 16 on the activity form), occasional trip or material charges, and any bank commissions caused by returned payments. Payment methods accepted and detailed billing rules for extracurriculars and AMPA are set out in the registration materials and activity forms (cash, bank transfer and direct debit are specifically documented).
