Fees

Application fees
- No publicly posted, itemized application or admission fee amounts for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26) were found in the school's published admissions materials or policy documents.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group)
- No publicly posted schedule of tuition amounts by year group or per term for the 2026/27 academic year (nor for 2025/26) is available in the school's publicly available materials. There are no itemized monthly, termly, or annual fee tables accessible in the school's published documents.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No specific billing schedule, payment due dates, number-of-instalments options, or late‑payment penalties are published in the documents reviewed for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year. The school's admissions policy and other published school documents do not contain an explicit, public fee billing calendar or payment-terms table.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The school's publicly available program descriptions and policy documents do not describe a boarding/residential programme or boarding fees. The school operates as a day school; no boarding-related charges were located.

Other costs or fees (uniform, materials, transport, insurance, exams, extra-curricular extras)
- There is no publicly posted, itemized list of uniform costs, transport fees, material or textbook contributions, or routine extra fees for 2026/27 (or 2025/26) in the school's published materials. No explicit refund schedules for items such as uniforms or material kits were found.

Refund information
- No publicly available refund policy for tuition, registration, or other fees was found in the school's published admissions or policy documents for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years.

Fee payment options (credit card, bank transfer, boleto, etc.)
- The school's publicly available admissions materials and policies do not list accepted payment methods or banking/payment instructions for tuition or other fees in the documents reviewed.

Brief summary of search and limitation
- A review was conducted of the school's public pages and published policy documents (including the Admissions Policy and other administrative PDFs). No itemized fee schedule, no published per‑year/per‑term tuition table, and no public billing/payment policy for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years were located in those materials.
- A separate, two‑page PDF file titled "School Fees_2024-25" containing detailed euro‑denominated fee figures was located on a third‑party host; that document's header and hosting do not clearly identify it as the school's official 2024/25 fee schedule and it could not be confirmed as applicable to this institution. For that reason, its figures were not used as the school's fee schedule here.

Admissions

1. PYP and MYP admissions: There are no specific admission criteria or selection processes for students already enrolled at Beit Yaacov School to participate in the Primary Years Programme (PYP) or the Middle Years Programme (MYP). Participation is based on seamless educational continuity within the school, ensuring a continuous IB experience for current students. 2. DP admission criteria: Admission to the IB Diploma Programme (DP) in High School involves an application and selection process focused on evaluating student commitment and engagement, ensuring alignment with the program's rigorous academic standards. The DP admission process includes a set of participation conditions for eligibility. 3. Conditions for participation (DP): Students must be a Grade 9 Beit Yaacov student and have completed Middle School. They must demonstrate fluency in English, the official instructional language of the IBDP at EBY. They must complete all application steps, including submission of required materials and participation in interviews. Students with special educational needs are welcome to apply and Beit Yaacov provides qualified staff to support them, with accommodations available in line with IB regulations. 4. DP admissions process and steps: Information Sessions (August) explain the High School curriculum options (Brazilian National Curriculum BNCC and the IB Diploma Programme IBDP). After the general meeting, DP leaders hold individual meetings with Grade 9 students and families to provide further DP details. 5. Application requirements (mid-October deadline): A Google Classroom is created for the admissions process where applicants submit a Letter of Intent, explaining their motivation for joining the DP, and a 3-minute video answering the prompt “Why is the IBDP good for me?” Submitting neither item by the deadline results in automatic exclusion from the admissions process. 6. Engagement and committed questionnaire: All candidates complete a questionnaire focusing on student engagement and commitment, administered in the High School building under test conditions. 7. Interviews (October–November): Selected applicants are interviewed by the DP Coordinator and the College Counsellor to discuss the letter of intent, video submission, academic expectations, and willingness to undertake the DP. 8. Selection and notification (November): After the four-part application process, the High School leadership team reviews applications and makes final admission decisions; families receive a formal letter in November informing them of the decision. 9. Review cycle: Beit Yaacov School reviews its admissions policy every three years to ensure alignment with IB standards and Brazilian educational regulations; the last revision was March 2025 and the next is scheduled for March 2028.
