Discounts and reductions

- Standard reductions: 10% discount applies to the second enrolled child, 15% for three children, and 20% for four children (fratries). Residence in Villanueva de la Cañada may carry a residency discount (application and documentation required). A 3% discount applies to tuition + meal fees when the full annual amount is paid in a single payment (not applicable to crèche and not combinable with certain other reductions). Some discounts are not cumulative; discretionary reductions may be granted in exceptional circumstances.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition is annual in nature and becomes due from the start of the school year. Families can choose payment either as a single annual payment (one‑off) or split into ten monthly instalments (September through June). Monthly billing is by direct debit (domiciliación bancaria) on the invoice due date; invoices are accessible via the school's Eduka application. Annual prepayment carries a 3% reduction on tuition and meal charges.

- Re‑enrolment is processed and charged in advance in April; a spot is confirmed only when the re‑enrolment fee has been paid. Any outstanding amounts may lead to non‑confirmation of re‑enrolment and to the student not being readmitted for the next school year. A rejected direct debit incurs an additional fee of EUR 30. Persistent non‑payment may result in suspension of services and, in extreme cases, the school initiating recovery procedures and refusing readmission.

Refunds and cancellation rules

- Registration fees (first registration and re‑registration) are not refundable in normal circumstances. Official exam registration fees are non‑refundable. Optional services (guardería, extra‑curricular activities, complementary courses) are charged for any period started and are generally non‑refundable if the family cancels after the period has begun. When a pupil enrols during a term, fees may be calculated pro rata temporis, but any month started is treated as fully due. Scholarships or consular grants, if subsequently awarded, may be applied and any applicable reimbursement handled under the school's rules.

Boarding / residential provision

- Boarding services are not listed among the billed services. The school's published fee schedules and financial regulations list tuition, crèche, meals, transport, guardería, extra‑curricular services and other day‑school items but do not include boarding/“internat” or boarding fees. Therefore no boarding fees apply.

Accepted payment methods and invoicing

- The primary payment collection method is bank direct debit (domiciliación bancaria). Invoices are issued and made available through the Eduka application. Rejected direct debits incur a penalty charge (EUR 30). The school also publishes its bank details for transfers and related administrative procedures in its financial documentation. Specific alternative payment arrangements (if any) are governed by the school's administration.

Important operational notes about fees (concise)

- Registration fees are payable to confirm a place and are generally non‑refundable.
- Tuition is annual and may be paid in one payment (with a 3% discount) or in ten monthly instalments (September–June).
- Optional services are charged for any period started and typically non‑refundable.
- Non‑payment can cause service suspension and may prevent re‑enrolment.
