Fees
Application fees
- No public, itemised application or registration fee amount for new students is published in the school's publicly accessible admissions materials. The school provides an admissions process and contact details for enrolment, but specific application or reservation-fee figures are not listed on the school's admissions or legal pages.
Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group)
- The school does not publish a public, itemised tuition schedule showing fees per term or per academic year group on its public pages. Because there is no public fee schedule for tuition by year group or term, exact amounts per term and per year group cannot be supplied here.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- No public, detailed billing calendar (for example: number of instalments, term dates tied to invoicing, or calendar of due dates for tuition) is published on the school's general admissions or services pages; therefore specific invoice timing and penalty rules for tuition are not available in publicly accessible materials.
- For school-supplied educational equipment (devices) sold through the school's equipment supplier, payment options include payment by bank card, bank transfer (with instructions to include order number and purchaser ID), and consumer financing (3, 6 or 12 months) through CaixaBank Consumer Finance where offered. These device-payment terms show how ancillary purchases are handled.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school operates as a day school rather than a boarding school; there is no boarding/internado program listed for this campus, and therefore no boarding fees apply.
Other costs and fees (uniform, transport, meals, early-care, devices, extras)
- Early-entry and after-school care (madrugadores / ampliacin de horario) and other optional services such as school transport and the school dining service (comedor) are offered; separate charges apply for these services and the site provides downloadable price documents for extended-hours services (the price documents are made available to families). Exact amounts for these optional services are provided in the school's downloadable price documents rather than in-line on the general pages.
- The school provides uniform information and operates an internal dining service (kitchen/catering) and transport; these are additional cost items for families although specific uniform or meal price lines are not listed in the general pages.
- The school uses an authorised educational equipment supplier for student devices. Example published device prices from that supplier for the 2025–26 device offering include an Apple iPad 128 GB bundle at EUR 470.39 and an Apple iPad 256 GB bundle at EUR 592.60; these prices are for optional equipment purchases processed through the supplier's shop.
Refund information
- There is no publicly posted, itemised refund policy for tuition, registration or ancillary service charges visible in the school's general public pages and legal notice. Where refund, cancellation or return terms exist for purchased equipment, they are handled through the equipment supplier's sale and returns procedures rather than as a tuition refund schedule.
Fee payment options
- Payment methods shown for school-related purchases (noting supplier-handled items) include credit/debit card, bank transfer (customers are asked to reference order number and purchaser ID) and consumer finance installment plans (3/6/12 months) where the supplier offers financing via CaixaBank Consumer Finance. General contact and billing arrangements for tuition are handled by the school's administration (contacts and telephone numbers are published).
Summary note about missing tuition figures
- The school's public pages list services, schedules and contact channels and provide downloadable price documents for specific optional services (for example extended-hours and device bundles), but they do not publish a comprehensive, public tuition schedule by year group or per term. Because the school does not provide a publicly accessible tuition table for the current academic year, exact per-term and per-year-group tuition amounts are not available in public materials and therefore cannot be stated here.
