Uniforms are covered for students in the Care Social Scholarship Program when specified by that programme; otherwise families may incur uniform costs for certain items if not provided through financial assistance.

Refund information
- A specific São Paulo campus tuition refund schedule is not published alongside the tuition totals and billing details. Avenues' family handbooks for other campuses describe a tuition refund programme (example: a month‑by‑month prorated refund schedule used in Avenues' published family handbook for a different campus). Families should expect that withdrawal and refund rules will be governed by the campus enrollment terms and the school's billing policies.

Fee payment options and practical notes on payments
- The school issues invoices and manages payments through its admissions/enrolment and parent billing systems; families are billed via the school's enrolment portal and the school's finance office manages instalments and account statements. Specific accepted payment instruments (for example, bank transfer, PIX, boleto, credit/debit card, or third‑party payment processors) are not listed in the publicly available tuition and admissions materials; payment method options are provided through the school's enrolment/billing process at the time of enrolment.

Notes on financial assistance and scholarships
- Partial need‑based financial aid is available from Small World through Grade 12; a separate Care Social Scholarship Program may cover up to 99% of tuition and can include support for uniforms, transportation, extracurricular activities, trips and college‑application costs for eligible recipients. Financial aid awards are grant‑based and do not require repayment. Families must indicate intent to apply for aid at the time of application and submit required documentation for review.

If you require the figures presented above in a different format (for example per instalment breakdowns, currency conversions, or per‑term amounts), those specifics are derived from the annual totals and the school's instalment schedule and can be calculated on request.
