No tuition schedule (per year group, per term, or per academic year) is published on the publicly accessible pages. There are no publicly posted fee tables showing amounts for Early Years / Primary / Lower Secondary / Upper Secondary or term/annual breakdowns. As a result, specific tuition amounts per term or per year group cannot be provided here.

Billing schedule and payment terms

No public statement of a billing schedule, instalment plan, payment deadlines, late-payment penalties, or payment-term conditions is available on the school's accessible admissions information. The site indicates that pre-enrolment and later interviews are part of the admissions process but does not publish the school's fee-billing timetable or payment terms.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

There is no publicly available indication that the school operates a boarding programme, and no boarding fees or boarding-related charges are published on the accessible pages. Therefore no boarding-fee figures can be provided.

Other costs or fees (uniform, meals, transport, materials, exams, extracurriculars)

No itemised schedule of additional costs—such as compulsory uniform charges, school meals, transport/shuttle fees, textbooks or materials charges, examination fees (IGCSE/IB), extracurricular activity fees, or insurance—appears in the publicly accessible admissions content. Specific amounts for these categories are not available for reporting here.

Refund information

No publicly posted refund or cancellation policy for deposits, registration fees, or tuition (for withdrawn or non-attending students) is available on the school's accessible admissions information. A published refund schedule and its conditions are not available for inclusion.

Fee payment options (credit card, bank transfer, other)

No public list of accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, credit/debit card, direct debit, or other payment platforms) is published on the accessible admissions pages, and no confirmed payment-method details are available for reporting here.

Summary of findings

A search of the school's publicly accessible admissions and information pages (English and Portuguese home/pre-enrolment pages) shows no posted fee schedule, no published numeric application or tuition amounts, and no itemised or contractual fee policies available for the current academic year. Because the required numeric fee data (application fee amounts, tuition by year/term, boarding fees, itemised extras, refund terms, and payment-method details) are not published on those accessible pages, numeric fee figures cannot be supplied here.
