Application fees
- No publicly published fixed amount for an application or registration fee is available for School of the Nations (Brasília). The admissions process requires completion of documentation, signing of the school's educational services contract, and payment of the first monthly fee at the point of enrollment.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per month / per year)
- The school does not publish a public breakdown of tuition amounts by year group (Early Childhood, Primary, Middle School, Secondary) for the 2026/27 academic year.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Required payment at enrollment: families are required to sign the contract and pay the first monthly fee when completing enrollment.
- Academic calendar: the school follows an international calendar; the academic year begins in late July or early August and ends around June. This calendar governs the school year to which tuition applies.
