Billing schedule and payment terms

- Payment frequency options: the school offers annual, trimestral (per term) and monthly payment options for tuition. Per‑term and extracurricular billing use a three‑term (trimestral) academic division.
- Extracurricular activities are billed by term (trimesters) and are payable in advance; a reservation/registration amount for activities is charged in the first trimester and is deducted from the final trimester. Receipts for many activities are domiciled (direct debit) on a trimestral basis.
- Annual tuition amounts listed above are the headline figures; the school allows spreading payment across the available billing schedules described. Per‑term amounts shown in this overview are the annual fee divided into three trimesters to match the school's trimester billing structure for activities.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not applicable: the school operates as a day school with services such as school transport and on‑site catering but does not publish boarding/residential fees.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, meals, transport, extra activities and typical extras)

- Uniforms: school uniform is purchased externally (El Corte Inglés for general uniform lines; Minime for Infant 1–2 items). Families buy uniform items directly from those retailers; discounts may apply for families with the respective store card. Specific uniform item prices are set by the retailer.
- School meals (comedor): the on‑site catering service is managed by an external contractor. Meal plans and their charges vary by option and are billed separately from tuition. (Meal service is provided in the school's own kitchens.)
- School transport (routes): multiple bus routes are offered and are an additional charge; route availability and price vary by stop and annual demand. Transport is invoiced as an additional service.
- Representative extracurricular charges (examples as published):
- Menudos Delfines (swimming-related activities): sample tariffs shown on the services listings (e.g., some music workshops €15/month; group keyboard €55/month; individual instrument €79/month; dramatization €50/month). Equitation is quoted at EUR 310 per trimester for a once‑per‑week group class. Chess is listed at EUR 30 per month; some sport extra activities are quoted per trimester. These activity rates are invoiced separately from tuition and are usually paid in advance per trimester.

Refund information and cancellations

- Extracurriculars and activity places: activities are billed in advance by trimester and a reservation fee is charged in the first trimester and deducted from the final trimester; this billing practice means activity payments are handled on a trimester basis. Refunds or prorated returns for prepaid activity fees are governed by the activity terms (payments are paid in advance).
- Re‑enrolment / reservation: a re‑enrolment/reservation charge is required to guarantee a place during the March re‑enrolment period; that reservation charge is part of the school's enrolment/renewal process.
- Tuition refunds / cancellations: tuition follows the school's billing and enrolment rules and is subject to the school's payment and re‑enrolment policies; extracurricular payments are explicitly handled by trimester as noted above. (Families should review the school's formal admission/payment terms for complete refund and withdrawal conditions.)

Fee payment options (methods)

- Direct debit / domiciliation is used for at least certain services (many extracurricular activity receipts are domiciled on a trimestral basis).
- The school publishes and facilitates payment plans (annual, trimestral, monthly) for tuition; uniforms and retailer services accept the usual retail payment methods (store payment card, card or retailer channels). For activity sign‑ups managed by partner providers, registration and payment are often made through the partner platform.

Notes for parents (concise)

- A one‑off registration fee (EUR 700) typically applies on first enrolment. Annual tuition is published per grade (see list above); term billing commonly follows a three‑trimester structure used across school services and activities. Extracurriculars are billed and domiciled per trimester; uniforms are purchased via El Corte Inglés or Minime. The school offers annual, termly and monthly payment schedules.
