Application / registration fee
- A non‑zero application/registration payment is required when submitting admissions documentation; a comprobante (proof of payment) must be included with the application.
Tuition (arancel) — structure and amounts
- The school charges an annual tuition (arancel) for each enrolled student and issues the arancel as part of the enrollment documentation and contract of services.
- Specific numeric tuition amounts by year group (per term or per year) are not published in public school documents available for the 2026/27 period; families receive the precise annual and per‑term breakdown at matriculation or as part of the Contract of Educational Services.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Enrollment requires signing the Contract of Educational Services and presenting documented payment of the arancel at the time of matriculation.
- Payment may be made by bank collection methods (PAC, PAT), by cheque, or by card payments processed through TransBank when available; the school records payments in its accounting office.
Boarding / residential provision
- The Colegio Alemán de Puerto Varas operates as a day school (programming from early years through IV Medio) and does not list boarding or residential accommodation as part of its offer.
Other costs and typical additional fees
- School insurance: A mandatory school insurance program is part of matriculation. Coverage components described include an accident reimbursement (to complement ISAPRE/FONASA reimbursements) with a maximum of 50 UF per pupil and a school‑fee coverage (in the event of death or permanent disability of a covered adult) of up to 161 UF per pupil; families choose coverage options at enrollment. Claims are submitted to the school's insurance contact; the published procedure for medical reimbursement requires scanned documentation and indicates a processing term (45 business days for the documented policy period).
- Uniforms: The school requires official uniform items for every level (sportswear, formal pieces, parka/polar, lab apron for older grades, etc.); procuring those items is an additional parental expense. The school provides a detailed list of required uniform pieces by level.
- Textbooks and supplies: A grade‑by‑grade list of required school supplies and texts is published for families; these are additional costs to plan for at enrollment.
- Incidental and damage costs: The school may charge parents for replacement or repair of school property damaged or lost by a student; such payments are processed through the office of Accounting.
Refund information
- Insurance refunds and medical reimbursement follow a specific claim procedure handled by the insurer through the school; parents submit documentation via the school contact indicated for claims (the insurer/school contact processes reimbursements and sets the processing timeframe).
- Terms governing cancellation of enrollment, conditionality or cancellation of matrícula, and any financial consequences (including possible withholding or requirement to pay outstanding amounts) are governed by the school's Reglamento Interno and the Contract of Educational Services; specific published percentages or formulas for tuition refunds are not provided in the public documents available.
Fee payment options (methods accepted)
- Bank collection methods (PAC and PAT), payment by cheque, and card payments via TransBank are accepted for arancel/matriculation processing; the accounting office registers and processes payments.
Practical notes for parents (facts to anticipate when budgeting)
- Expect an application/registration charge at application time, an annual tuition (arancel) payable at matriculation or under an agreed installment plan, mandatory school insurance chosen at enrollment, required uniform purchases, and costs for textbooks and supplies by grade. Administrative or repair charges may be invoiced separately through the school's accounting office.
