Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group)
- No published tuition schedule or listed per-term or per-year figures is available for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. There is no publicly posted breakdown of monthly, termly or annual tuition by year group (e.g., Ensino Fundamental II or Ensino Médio) on the school's public pages. Parents should obtain the official fee schedule from the school's admissions office for exact amounts and any year-group distinctions.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No published billing schedule, installment plans, payment deadlines, or formal payment-term policy is publicly available for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. Information about whether tuition is billed monthly, termly, or annually and whether discounts apply for advance/annual payment or for prompt payment is not posted publicly. Parents should request the school's formal billing schedule and contract terms directly.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- No boarding program or boarding facilities are listed in the school's public information. Bright School / Bright Bee is described and presented as a day school (no boarding accommodation is listed); therefore, boarding fees do not apply.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, materials, activities, transport, insurance, extras)
- The school's public pages do not provide a published list of additional compulsory or optional fees (uniforms, textbooks/material kits, extracurricular activity fees, field-trip charges, school insurance, transport/bus service fees, or equipment fees) for 2026/27 or 2025/26. Typical categories that private schools commonly charge include:

- Optional extracurricular activity fees or after-school care/extended-day charges;
- School transport/bus service (if offered);
- School insurance and one-off administrative fees;
- Exam, external-certificate or international-program fees (if applicable).
- For Bright School, no specific amounts or an itemised list of these charges are published. Parents should request the school's full fee schedule and any separate charge list to confirm which of these apply and their amounts.

Refund information and withdrawal policy
- No published refund policy, withdrawal penalty schedule, or rules governing refunds of enrollment, registration, or tuition payments for 2026/27 or 2025/26 is publicly available. The school's formal contract (enrolment agreement) normally sets refund terms; parents should obtain that contract to confirm conditions for refunds, prorated tuition on mid-year withdrawals, and any non‑refundable fees.

Fee payment options (credit card, bank transfer, boleto, direct debit, cash)
- No published, explicit list of accepted payment methods for tuition and other fees is available for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. The school operates standard parent portals and administrative contacts, but specific payment channels (credit card, bank transfer, boleto/bank slip, direct debit, online payment portal, or payment by card in person) are not listed publicly. Parents should confirm accepted payment methods and any associated fees or processing terms with the school's finance/admissions office.

How to obtain the official, itemised fee schedule
- Bright School does not publish a public fee table for the requested academic years on its publicly accessible pages; the school provides contact channels for admissions and administrative queries. Use the school's admissions or administrative contact to request the official, itemised fee schedule, the enrolment contract with payment and refund terms, and any schedules of optional-service charges. Contact channels publicly listed include the school telephone number and the admissions email shown on the school's public pages.

Brief summary of search and availability (important)
- A review of the school's public pages, FAQs and public listing did not reveal any published, itemised fee schedule, fee figures by year group, billing calendar, refund policy, or explicit payment-method list for the 2026/27 academic year or for 2025/26. Because the requested numeric fee details are not published publicly, exact amounts for application, tuition (per term/year), boarding (not applicable), uniforms, refunds and accepted payment methods cannot be stated here. Parents must obtain the school's official fee schedule and enrolment contract for precise figures and terms.
