Summary statement
- The American School of Puerto Vallarta (ASPV) does not publish a public, itemised per-grade fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year; full, current fee figures are provided directly by the school on request.

Application / registration fees
- Exact application and registration (inscription/matrícula) fee amounts are not published publicly for 2026/27. External school-directory listings and local guides indicate that registration/inscription charges at schools in the area for ASPV have historically been charged separately from tuition and can be in the thousands of Mexican pesos. Example estimates shown by local school guides include registration/inscription figures in the MXN 15,000–30,000 range. These figures are approximate and not published as an official ASPV schedule.

Tuition fees (per year / per term / per month)
- ASPV does not publish a public, grade-by-grade fee table on its public admissions pages for 2026/27; therefore exact per-grade and per-term numbers are not available in public materials.
- Published directory estimates indicate a typical annual day-student tuition figure used by school directories: Day fees per annum listed as US$6,470. This is an external-directory figure and should be treated as an estimate rather than an official ASPV per-grade schedule.
- Local guides have reported monthly tuition ranges for private bilingual schools in the Puerto Vallarta area (including listings for ASPV) in the approximate range of MXN 6,600 to MXN 15,000 per month; some listings show broader monthly ranges of MXN 7,500–15,000. These are third‑party estimates, not an itemised ASPV fee table.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- A detailed public billing schedule (for example: number of instalments, exact due dates, or per-term amounts) for 2026/27 is not published in public-facing school materials. Families are required to complete enrollment paperwork and pay required fees as part of the enrollment process.
- External sources and school communications for events indicate that the school accepts bank transfers in Mexican pesos and accepts US-dollar wires for certain payments; event payment instructions provide a Banorte account and CLABE for payments in pesos and mention USD wiring instructions. These payment channels indicate the school accepts bank transfers and USD wire payments. Specific merchant/payment processors or credit-card acceptance are not listed in the public materials reviewed.

Boarding fees
- ASPV is described as a coeducational day school; no boarding or residential program is listed. Therefore there are no boarding fees applicable.

Other costs and mandatory extras
- School services and extras that typically carry additional charges (but for which ASPV does not publish public price lists) include: school uniform, textbooks and class materials, cafeteria meals, and school transport (bus) service. The school site includes forms for Bus and Cafeteria services, indicating such services are provided and billed separately. Exact amounts for uniforms, bus service, cafeteria plans, or materials fees are not publicly itemised.

Refund information
- No publicly posted, itemised refund policy or a publicly available refund schedule for tuition/fees was found in the materials reviewed. Refund terms (for example: treatment of paid tuition or registration deposits on withdrawal) are handled under the school's enrollment and contracting process and are not published in the public pages reviewed.

Fee payment options
- Documented payment channels for school-related payments include bank deposit/transfer in Mexican pesos (Banorte) and US-dollar wire transfers; event payment instructions also show an email address for sending transfer confirmations (caja@aspv.edu.mx). No public listing of credit-card payment or online payment portal details was found in the materials reviewed.

Brief summary of findings and gaps
- ASPV's public admissions pages do not list a detailed, grade-by-grade or term-by-term fee schedule for 2026/27. External directories and local guides provide approximate annual or monthly figures (examples given above) and local payment instructions for specific events show bank transfer details. Exact official figures for application fees, tuition by individual grade and term, refund conditions, and formal billing schedules were not available in the public materials reviewed.

Curriculum

ASPV provides a bilingual, dual-immersion curriculum in English and Spanish from Early Childhood through High School. Early Childhood uses a play-based, inquiry-driven approach aligned with NAEYC practices, developing bilingual proficiency from the start. Primary School uses about 70% English instruction and emphasizes literacy, numeracy, and analytical skills across both languages, with project-based learning, technology integration, sustainability, and service learning. Middle School (grades 7-9) and High School (grades 10-12) operate on a block schedule and offer a broad range of electives; the High School includes Advanced Placement courses. Graduates earn both a U.S. High School Diploma and a Mexican Bachillerato Diploma and are accredited by SAIS/Cognia in the United States and SEP/UNAM in Mexico.

Exam Results

MAP test scores surpassed the averages of ASOMEX and Tri-Association schools; SAT scores continued to rise, positioning students for competitive college admissions.

Higher Education Progression

The Class of 2025 achieved 92% college acceptance. Graduates pursue higher education at universities across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Mexico, including Pepperdine University, University of California Berkeley, University of Washington, American University of Paris, and several Mexican universities such as Universidad del Valle de Atemajac, Universidad Panamericana, and Tec de Monterrey.

Admissions

Step 1. Birth dates and grade correspondence. Students are placed in the appropriate grade level based on chronological age for Elementary School (Kinder 1 to 6). Middle School and High School are not placed by chronological age, but by last completed grade and an admissions assessment. The 2026–2027 school year guidelines show the age and grade ranges used for placement. The process ensures placement aligns with the program requirements.

Step 2. Schedule and appointment. An appointment is scheduled to tour the school and clarify any questions. If a grade has space availability, the student will take an admissions test. This step advances the applicant toward admission.

Step 3. Admitted students. If admitted, a formal acceptance letter is sent via email along with the next steps required to complete enrollment. The acceptance letter confirms admission and outlines enrollment requirements. The admissions team provides guidance on documents and deadlines as part of the process.

Step 4. Enrollment. Admitted families must complete the enrollment data form, sign the enrollment contract and code of conduct, submit all required documents, and pay the required fees. Enrollment and tuition fees are revised each year, so contact the school for the latest figures. Separate applications exist for Early Childhood, Primary School, and MS/HS.

Scholarships

The school offers grants and scholarships with more than $1,000,000 USD offered in grants & scholarships for 2024–2025. The annual report highlights the Grants & Scholarships program and showcases scholarship recipients and graduates attending universities.
