Application / Admission fees

- BAICA charges a one-time family admission / entry fee (Cuota de Ingreso) for new families entering from Sala de 5 upward; an archived school schedule listed this fee as USD 4,000.
- The school requires payment of a matrícula (registration) at the time(s) specified by the school; historically the matrícula was charged as a portion of a monthly tuition (the archived wording noted matrícula equal to half a monthly tuition, charged per semester, and registration payments in June and December). Registration/matrícula payments have been treated as non‑refundable in prior handbooks.

Tuition fees by year group (per-term / per-year detail)

- BAICA does not publish a public, up‑to‑date fee schedule for the current academic year; no definitive per‑grade numeric schedule for the present year is posted publicly.

- Historical example (archived schedule; shown here only as an illustrative example of how BAICA has presented fees in the past — these figures are not published as current rates):
- Sala de 3 and 4 (full day) — Monthly: USD 477; Annual (10‑month basis): USD 4,770.
- Sala de 5 — Monthly: USD 795; Annual (10‑month basis): USD 7,950.
- Grades 1–6 — Monthly: USD 1,113; Annual (10‑month basis): USD 11,130.
- Grades 7–12 — Monthly: USD 1,272; Annual (10‑month basis): USD 12,720.
- The archived presentation showed annual billing calculated as ten monthly payments. These historic figures are provided only as archival reference and are not confirmation of current year charges.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school has historically presented the annual tuition as payable in ten (10) monthly installments (commonly March–December in Argentine international school practice). The archived text described the arancel anual payable in ten cuotas.
- Matrícula (registration) historically was charged at specific moments (noted in older material as June and December) and was distinct from monthly tuition; previous documents noted matrícula payments are not refundable and do not apply toward tuition.
- A penalty for late payment has been noted in prior published schedules as 10% applied after the 10th day of the month.

Boarding fees

- BAICA does not operate boarding facilities; there are no boarding fees because the school functions as a day school.

Other costs and recurring additional charges

- English language support / ELL: the school offers ELL/ESL services and has charged an additional monthly fee for ELL support in prior notices (example: USD 100 per month in older published material).
- Advanced courses / AP / Northstar and related course materials: course fees, books, and shipping for AP or specialty programs have been stated as charged additionally to parents.
- Extracurricular activities, learning‑support services, school transport, school meals, textbooks and consumable materials, and uniform costs are typically extra; prior school communications and handbooks treat these as separate charges or optional paid services. Specific amounts for uniforms, transport, meals or particular activities are not published in a current public fee schedule.
- Sibling discounts were shown in earlier published schedules as follows: 10% for a second child, 20% for a third child, and 30% for a fourth child (applied to tuition/monthly charges in that historic schedule).

Refund information

- Registration / matrícula payments have been identified in past BAICA materials as non‑refundable and not applicable toward tuition. No current public refund policy with exact terms for tuition withdrawals or mid‑year departures is posted publicly.

Fee payment options

- The school's public donation pages accept payments via Argentine online channels (MercadoPago) and provide links for U.S. tax‑deductible donations through partnering organizations; these donation/payment methods have been made available for contributions. That same public information does not present a full, explicit list of accepted tuition payment methods (bank transfer, credit card, direct debit) for tuition payments.

Notes for planning

- Because BAICA does not publish a current, detailed per‑grade fee schedule in a public place, numerical tuition rates and specific payment‑method details for the present academic year are not publicly available. For budgeting, families commonly plan for: an entry fee or matrícula at enrollment, an annual tuition divided into multiple monthly installments (often 10), additional charges for language support/ELL, AP or specialty courses, extracurricular programs, uniforms and transport, and sibling discounts where applicable.

(If you require the school's official, current fee schedule and exact payment options for the present academic year, BAICA lists contact details and admissions channels through which the school provides official billing information.)
