Introduction

Colegio Alemán de Temuco is a private German school in Temuco, part of the Deutsche Schule Chile network. Serving ages 4 to 18, the school offers Prekindergarten through IV Medio, with the IB Middle Years Programme and the IB Diploma Programme. German is taught as the first foreign language, with English as the second; the Diploma Programme can be delivered in English, French, or Spanish. The DAF/DSD II German pathway is integrated with the IB curriculum, and students graduate with multilingual skills for international study.

Extracurriculars include a broad arts program—music ensembles such as School of Rock, Schulorchester, and choir—plus academic clubs like chess and astronomy, and a strong CAS program within DP.

Fees
Application fees

- The application/postulación process carries a fee of 1 UF for families that do not already have a child enrolled at the school. This application fee is waived for families with current students enrolled at the Colegio Alemán de Temuco.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year)

- The school does not publish a public, itemised tuition schedule (per course/year group and per term) in the available institutional documents for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years. Specific tuition amounts by year group and the term structure (number of instalments and per‑term amounts) are provided directly by the school administration at admission or via the school's administrative channels.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Renewal of a student's enrolment for the following school year requires that all economic obligations from the immediately preceding year be fully paid before re‑matriculation is accepted.
- An early closure of a semester or the academic year does not release the responsible payer from the obligation to pay the full annual tuition for that year.
- The institution may exercise standard collection measures for unpaid obligations, including requirements for guarantees, pagarés or other instruments to secure payment when necessary.

Boarding / residential fees

- The Colegio Alemán de Temuco does not operate a boarding or residential programme; no boarding fees or residential accommodation charges are listed among the school's institutional services and protocols. Education is provided as a day school.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, materials, activities, exam fees, trips)

- Uniforms and optional course/group garments:
- Official uniform requirements apply; the school has a protocol governing the design and use of additional garments (for example course polerones). The financing and management of optional, non‑official garments (polerones for a course or generation) is the responsibility of each course's Parents and Guardians' Committee; acquisition of such optional garments is voluntary and is paid for by families.

- Textbooks, school supplies and materials:
- Textbooks, consumable materials and personal school supplies are treated as additional costs to be covered by families. The school organises book sales, used‑book fairs and similar initiatives, but families are responsible for acquiring required materials.

- Extracurricular activities, school trips and exchanges:
- Costs for curricular and extracurricular trips, study tours and exchange programmes are charged to families; the resources to fund these activities come from parents/guardians. The school specifies conditions for participation but the financial cost of trips and exchanges is borne by the apoderados.

- External exam and programme fees (Cambridge, IB, language and certification exams):
- Cambridge / external language exams: the school administers Cambridge exams and handles registration; exam fees and any refunds for missed components are addressed according to the exam provider rules (the school may require reimbursement or allow specific reembolsos in justified cases such as medical leave).
- International Baccalaureate (PD/IB) fees for Diploma candidates: the school subsidises a portion of IB registration/subject fees. For Diploma candidates the school covers 67% of the registration/subject fees and the family covers the remaining 33%; families are asked to provide a guarantee covering the school's subsidised portion in case of withdrawal. If a candidate withdraws or there is an early academic closure or failure to present to exams, the school does not reimburse the amounts paid for IB registration and related fees.

Refund information

- IB Diploma exams: there is no refund of the IB registration/inscription subsidy the school provides in cases of withdrawal, early closure of the academic year or failure to present to the exams; families pay their portion and a guarantee is held for the school's subsidised share.
- Cambridge and other external exam registrations: the school follows the examination provider's rules for refunds—full reimbursement is possible in some justified cases (for example licensed medical absence) but generally fees are non‑refundable if a candidate does not present without an accepted justification.
- General tuition and annuality: an early closure of semester or year does not free the payer from the obligation to pay the full annual tuition; this indicates the school's position that the annual tuition remains due despite shortened academic delivery.

Fee payment options and administrative payment arrangements

- Online payment channels listed by the school include a dedicated payment portal (Portal Pago Fácil / Zumpago) and WebPay for online card payments. These platforms are used for electronic payment processing.
- The school's regulations also permit the use of guarantees and signed payment instruments (for example pagarés or mandates) where the administration deems them necessary to secure payment obligations. Families should expect formal administrative payment agreements in particular circumstances (renewal guarantees, IB fee guarantees, etc.).

Summary of key, actionable points for a parent

- Application fee: 1 UF for families without current students; waived for families with an enrolled child.
- Detailed tuition amounts by grade and per‑term instalment schedule are not published in the school's publicly available documents; the school provides specific tuition figures and the formal fee schedule directly through its administration/finance office during admission and enrolment processes.
- Expected additional costs include uniforms (official and optional course garments), textbooks and supplies, external exam fees (IB/Cambridge), extracurricular activities, and trips — several of which are partially subsidised in specific cases (for example the school subsidises 67% of IB registration/subject fees for Diploma candidates).
- Payment methods publicly referenced by the school are the Portal Pago Fácil (Zumpago) and WebPay (online card payments); the school may also require guarantees, promissory notes or other instruments in specific cases.

If you require the school's exact tuition figures by year group and per term for your database, those numeric schedules are issued by the school's administration and finance office rather than appearing as an open, itemised public schedule in the school documents available for 2025–2026/2026–2027.
