Fees
Application fees - No published numeric amount for an application, registration, enrollment or re‑enrollment fee was found in the school's public admissions materials. The internal regulations confirm the existence of a matrícula (enrollment) and reinscripción (re‑enrolment) as distinct chargeable items but do not list amounts.
Tuition fees by school year (per term / per month) - Tuition is structured as monthly school fees (aranceles mensuales). Specific tuition amounts for each year group, grades, or per term are not published in the school's public materials for the current academic year. No per‑term or per‑grade fee schedule with numeric values was found.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is billed as monthly fees (cuotas mensuales). The internal regulations reference ‘‘cuotas mensuales'' and condition some financial benefits on being up to date with monthly payments, but the public documents do not provide a detailed billing calendar (exact due dates), the number of instalments billed per academic year, nor published late‑payment penalties or interest rates.
Boarding fees - Boarding is not applicable. The school is described and operated as a day school (preschool, primary and secondary) with no boarding facilities or boarding fees indicated.
Other costs and optional charges - Uniform: The school specifies two authorised uniform suppliers (Recreo Uniformes and College Uniformes); uniform purchase is an additional cost handled through those suppliers. - School cafeteria / lunch: The school operates a cafeteria and charges a separate lunch fee for students who stay for lunch; bringing a packed lunch is an alternative. No published per‑meal or monthly cafeteria price was found. - Transportation: Transport is provided by a third party and can be contracted by families; any transport fee is charged by that third‑party provider. No published transport rates or billing arrangements were found. - Extracurricular / after‑school activities: The school offers after‑school activities (Taekwondo, football, gymnastics); no public pricing for those activities was located. - Discounts and scholarships: The internal regulations list recurring fee concessions applied to monthly tuition: 10% off the second sibling's monthly fee, 20% off the third sibling's monthly fee, and 100% (full waiver) on the fourth sibling's monthly fee. There is a 30% monthly‑fee discount for children of alumni. These reductions apply only to the monthly tuition (they explicitly exclude matrícula, reinscripción and the school's fund for scholarships). Discounts may be revoked if two or more monthly instalments are overdue or for serious conduct/academic issues.
Refunds and withdrawal - No published, itemised tuition‑refund policy or a clear numeric refund schedule for withdrawals/early departures was found in the school's publicly available documents. The internal regulations describe administrative categories and conditions tied to enrolment, discounts and the revocation of financial benefits, but they do not provide a published timetable of refunds or reimbursements for paid tuition or enrollment fees.
Fee payment options - No public statement of accepted payment methods (bank transfer details, accepted credit cards, online payment platforms, direct debit arrangements, or cash payment procedures) was located in the admissions pages or the internal regulations. The school maintains an admissions contact for ‘‘tuition communication'' but no payment method list is published in the materials reviewed.
Summary of findings (brief): I reviewed the school's public pages (information, admission form and contact pages) and the school's Internal Regulations (Reglamento Interno). Those sources confirm that tuition is charged as monthly fees, show specific sibling and alumni discounts that apply to monthly tuition and identify additional chargeable services (uniforms, cafeteria lunch, third‑party transport), but they do not publish numeric amounts for application fees, per‑grade or per‑term tuition, boarding (not applicable), exact billing dates, payment methods, or a detailed refund schedule for the current academic year. For the items where no amounts or detailed payment procedures are published, no numerical fee data could be extracted from the materials reviewed.
