Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is published as a monthly fee based on a 10-month billing year; this implies billing over 10 monthly instalments during the academic year. Annual totals are the monthly fee × 10. Per-term amounts are the annual total divided across three academic terms.
- There is an early-payment discount: if both tuition and lunch are paid annually in or before September, a 2% discount on tuition is applied. Sibling discounts on tuition are applied as follows: 10% for the second child, 20% for the third child, and 40% for the fourth child and subsequent children. There is no sibling discount for half-day Nursery enrolment.
- Examination-related payments: the school offers an “Exams Fees in Advance” option where payments made between October and March are accumulated for subsequent A-Level and IGCSE exam fees. Examination fees (language exams, IGCSE, AS/A-Level) and certain course-related trips are additional to tuition. Textbook digital subscriptions are billed directly by the school.
Boarding fees
- ELIS Villamartín is an independent day school (ages 3–18). Boarding is not part of the school's provision; therefore no boarding fees apply.
Other costs and compulsory extras
- Dining (lunch) fee: EUR 1,750 per year (equivalent to EUR 175 per month). Dining is compulsory for all students up to and including Year 11. Annual dining divided per term = EUR 583 (rounded).
- Transport: route-dependent; published range EUR 130–170 per month. Annual transport = EUR 1,300–1,700; per term ≈ EUR 433–567 (rounded).
- Examination fees: charged in addition to tuition for ESOL, German, French, IGCSE (Year 11), AS and A-Level (Years 11–13). Some optional courses require study trips that incur additional charges.
- Textbooks and learning materials: textbook lists published during the third term; all texts (digital subscriptions or physical) are reserved via the school office. Digital subscriptions are billed by the school.
- School uniform: compulsory up to the end of Year 11; uniform is not sold by the school and is available at El Corte Inglés. Costs will therefore depend on purchases made there.
Refund information
- The registration fee (EUR 1,500) is expressly stated as non‑refundable. No other specific refund policy for tuition, lunches or other fees is published in the school's publicly available fee information.

Payment method details are not specified in the published fee summary.
Discounts and concessions
- Sibling discounts applicable to tuition only: 10% (second child), 20% (third child), 40% (fourth child and beyond). Early payment discount of 2% on tuition if both tuition and lunch are paid annually in or before September. No sibling discounts apply to half-day Nursery.
