Fees
Application fees
- The school does not publish a public, itemized application or registration fee schedule for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year. Specific application-enrollment charges are provided directly by Admissions at the time of application and are documented in the school's admissions/enrollment paperwork.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school does not publish a public, grade-by-grade tuition table for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year. Exact tuition amounts by year group (PK/Kinder, Lower School, Middle School, Upper School / Grade levels) and per-term or annual billing figures are issued by the school's Finance/Admissions office and appear in the official fee schedule provided with the enrollment contract. The school's annual financial reports show that tuition (mensalidades escolares) is the primary operating revenue, but those reports do not list individual student fee amounts.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school's publicly-available materials do not include a specific public billing calendar or the precise payment-term options for tuition (for example, number of installments, due dates, or early-payment discounts). Billing schedule, installment options, and late-payment terms are included in the enrollment agreement and communicated by the Finance/Admissions office at registration.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school operates as a full‑time day school (PK–12) and does not list any boarding or residential program; there are no published boarding fees because boarding facilities are not part of the school's offerings.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- The school does not publish a full public list of ancillary fees. Common additional costs that families should expect to consider (and that many schools of this type commonly charge) include:
- enrollment/registration processing fee (charged at admission or re‑enrolment);
- school supplies and textbooks or a materials fee;
- school uniform (purchase or replacement);
- school meals / cafeteria charges if not included in tuition;
- transportation / bus fees;
- extracurricular program fees, arts and sports trips, and special events;
- external examination fees (e.g., AP or national exam administration fees) and optional testing costs.
- Whether any of the above are included in tuition or billed separately is specified in the official fee schedule and the enrollment contract provided by the school.

Refund information
- There is no publicly posted, detailed refund policy or table of refund rules (for withdrawal, mid‑term departure, or cancellation) available in the school's publicly-available documents. Refund and cancellation terms are set out in the enrollment contract and associated policies supplied at registration. The school's financial reports record "devoluções de taxas/mensalidades" as a financial line item but do not provide the contract-level refund terms.

Fee payment options
- The school accepts multiple payment methods for school-related finance activity; published school materials that describe payment of contributions and fundraising list accepted methods as credit card, checks, and bank transfers. These same payment methods are the standard options used by the school for financial transactions and are available for fee payments as arranged with Finance/Admissions.

How official fee figures and terms are provided
- Official, itemized tuition and fee amounts (per grade/year group), the billing calendar (per-term or monthly installment schedule), charges for uniforms/transport/meals, refund rules, and any applicable discounts or sibling adjustments are provided directly to applicants and enrolling families as part of the admissions/enrollment documentation and the enrollment contract; those documents contain the definitive figures and terms for the year of entry. Contact information for Admissions and Finance is published with the school's admissions materials.

Summary of search findings (brief):
- Publicly-available pages, application forms and recent annual reports do not contain a public, grade-by-grade fee schedule or published numeric tuition amounts for 2026/27 (or 2025/26). The school issues the official fee schedule, billing terms, refund policy and payment-plan options directly to prospective and enrolling families through Admissions and the enrollment contract. For admissions contact details and the application form, see the school's admissions pages and the downloadable application form.
