Billing schedule and payment terms - The school offers multiple payment schedules: monthly, quarterly (trimestral) and annual payment options are available. Parents may select the payment cadence that suits them when arranging fees. - The first-year invoice amounts shown for new enrolments typically include applicable one-time charges (for example the registration fee), and the first-year total will therefore be higher than the recurring annual tuition figure. An example presented shows a Nursery 1 first-year total of €5,750 made up of a €5,130 annual tuition plus a €620 one-time registration fee. Boarding / residential fees - Boarding is not applicable. The school operates as a day school with daytime hours and extended-day options noted in published centre information. There are no published boarding or residential fees. Other costs and typical additional fees - School lunch (comedor): an approximate cost for the school cafeteria is listed at about €140 per month. - Extracurricular activities: approximate prices for after‑school/extra‑curricular classes are listed in local directory listings at about €40 per activity (per month or per session as indicated by each activity provider). Individual activity fees vary by programme. - Uniforms and textbook/material costs: specific uniform pricing and the full list of required materials are not published in a public fee table; these items are typically additional and charged separately when applicable. (No explicit uniform price schedule was found on the publicly available fee information.) Refunds and withdrawal / cancellation - A specific, public refund policy (for registration, deposits or term/annual tuition) is not published in the publicly available fee material. The school's enrolment and billing arrangements show that one‑time registration charges are treated as part of the first‑year costs; terms and conditions for cancellations, refunds or tuition adjustments are documented in the school's admissions/matriculation paperwork rather than in a public fees table. Fee payment options (accepted methods) - Acceptable methods listed include bank transfer, cash and credit card. Payment plans (monthly, quarterly, annual) are available as described under billing schedule. Short summary of data availability (what is and is not published) - Published annual tuition amounts by year group and the example first‑year one‑time registration charge are available and listed above. The school's public pages and related directories do not publish a full per‑term invoice breakdown itemised by term; instead the school offers selectable payment cadences (monthly, quarterly/trimestral, annual) and invoices according to the chosen cadence. The school's public materials likewise do not provide a standalone, detailed public refund schedule or a uniform price list. For clarity: the annual tuition numbers and the registration example used above are taken from the school fee listings published for the 2025/2026 academic year; approximate cafeteria and extracurricular cost figures come from local directory listings.
