Fees
Application / Admission fee

- No fixed numeric application or enrollment fee amount is published publicly for APDE Entrevalles. The school's admissions information states that tuition and related amounts vary by grade and that specific payment figures are provided directly to families.

Tuition (by year group and term)

- APDE Entrevalles does not publish a publicly available fee schedule that lists tuition by year group, term, or grade level. The school notes that the colegiatura (tuition) varies according to the academic grade. Because numeric tuition rates and per-term amounts are not posted publicly, a precise breakdown of fees per term and per year group is not available in public materials.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- No standard public billing schedule (for example: monthly, quarterly, or per-term dates) or detailed payment terms with exact due dates and penalties is posted in the public information. An online payment option labeled "Pagar en Línea" is provided, which indicates families can make payments electronically. Specific payment schedules and terms are handled administratively and vary by family.

Boarding fees

- A boarding program is not listed for APDE Entrevalles. The school operates as a day school for girls and provides school transportation services (hubs and optional door‑to‑door service) rather than on‑campus boarding, so boarding fees are not applicable.

Other costs and typical additional fees

- Uniforms and school clothing: Uniforms are part of standard family costs for attendance; no uniform price list is published publicly.
- Transport: The school operates hub (strategic stop) services that are offered without additional cost for certain routes and extracurricular shuttles; door‑to‑door bus service is offered for an additional fee although specific rates are not published. Budget for a transport fee if you require door‑to‑door service.
- Extracurricular activities, trips and excursions: These are included in or associated with some elements of the school year yet some activities or external trips may incur extra charges; no public price list for extracurricular fees is published.
- Materials and textbooks: Specific costs for books and materials are not published; expect periodic charges for workbooks, supplies, exams, or special program materials depending on grade.
- Optional educational protection/insurance (previsión educativa): An optional program that provides economic coverage in case of the death of an enrolled parent is offered; any associated premium or fee is not published publicly.

Refund information

- No public policy with numeric refund rules (for example: refundable amounts, deadlines, or prorated refunds) is published. Refund and cancellation conditions for enrollment deposits or tuition would be governed by the school's administrative policies and are not listed in public materials.

Fee payment options

- An online payment portal ("Pagar en Línea") is linked from the school site, indicating electronic payments are supported. The public pages do not list a complete set of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, cheque, cash) or the payment processor used; families are informed of specific accepted methods through the school's administrative channels.

Summary guidance for budgeting

- Numeric fee amounts, per‑term charges, billing dates, and formal refund rules are not posted publicly; tuition and related charges vary by grade. Plan for the following categories when budgeting: an initial admission/enrollment charge (amount determined by the school), annual or per‑term tuition (varies by grade), optional transport (door‑to‑door), uniform and materials costs, extracurricular or trip fees, and optional educational protection/insurance. Exact amounts, payment schedules, and the full list of accepted payment methods are provided to families through the school's administrative/admissions process and payment portal.
