Introduction

Colegio Los Nogales is a private, non‑profit, coeducational day school serving ages 4 to 18. The curriculum blends a rigorous college‑preparatory program with FINES, Comprehensive Values Education, which builds life skills and guides students' life plans within the school's mission. In high school, AP courses earn college credits and are taught in smaller classes of 15–18 students with 60‑minute periods and semiannual final exams. The school offers a bilingual Spanish–English program with a third language option (French or Portuguese). The campus houses purpose‑built facilities for learning and the arts, including the Centro de Artes José María de la Torre, the Luisa Pizano Library (about 1,500 m² and 25,000 titles), science labs, and renovated Preschool and Primary buildings, plus a gym, Polideportivo and football field. Distinctive programs include Round Square international links, Caminata Program, Summer and Gap Year opportunities, and a strong service component through FINES.

Fees
Application fees

- Pre‑kindergarten application: COP 300,000.
- Kindergarten–Grade 12 application: COP 260,000.

Tuition and enrollment (summary and availability)

- The school does not publish a public, grade-by-grade fee table on its public pages. Detailed tuition figures per grade and per term are maintained in the school's family billing/cost certificate system and by the school's finance office. Parents receive specific matriculation and monthly pension amounts through the school's payment/certification channels.
- Published press coverage cites typical ballpark figures for general enrollment costs in 2026 of approximately: matriculation (one‑time enrollment charge) ~ COP 4,152,740 and a monthly tuition (pensión) ~ COP 3,397,697. These figures are reported as approximate and can vary by grade. Use these only as an indicative benchmark, not a definitive per‑grade schedule.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school uses an online payments platform for tuition and other school charges; families access 'Cartera y servicios educativos' through the school's e‑collect/online payments flow to view and pay billed concepts. The instructions specify entering family code, selecting services and amounts, and completing the online payment. Accepted online card payments are indicated on the payments page.
- The academic calendar follows Calendar B (mid‑year start); matriculation (matrícula) is normally charged once per enrollment cycle and pension (monthly tuition) is charged according to the school's billing cycle — exact term/due‑date scheduling and any instalment plan options are set per family account and in the official billing statement issued to enrolled families.

Boarding and residential fees

- Colegio Los Nogales operates as a day school in Bogotá and does not publish any boarding or residential programme or boarding fees. No residential/boarding fee schedule is publicly listed.

Other costs and recurring charges

- Extracurricular programmes: many activities are free (for example some sports and band) while feeed programmes have published annual costs and are billed semestrally. Examples (2025–2026 published schedule):
- Art programme: COP 2,360,000 per year (billed as two semester payments of COP 1,180,000 in October and February).
- Music / Musical / Karate / Robotics: COP 2,300,000 per year (billed as two semester payments of COP 1,150,000 in October and February).
- Textbooks and resources: the school bookstore (Librería CLN) sells and rents textbooks and standardized exams; costs for texts and rental terms are handled through the school bookstore ordering and quotation process. The bookstore also manages lost & found and uniform‑related items. Specific prices for textbooks, rental fees, and uniform items are provided when families place orders or request quotes.
- Transport: school transport is managed via a transport provider (TEHC) with a separate payment flow; transport charges and payment codes are handled through the transport portal and billed separately from tuition.
- Other possible charges that appear in the school's financial reporting include cafetería, caminatas (field trips/excursions), extracurriculars, workshops, international exam fees and other ancillary activities; these are billed as specific line items to families.

Refunds and adjustments

- There is no detailed public refund policy posted on the publicly accessible pages. The school's audited/management reports record "devoluciones en ventas" (sales returns/refunds) as adjustments to income, indicating that refunds or reductions are processed as accounting adjustments, but the public documents do not provide step‑by‑step refund rules or timelines for parents. Families' specific statements and the school's billing certificate are the authoritative records for any refunds or billing adjustments.

Accepted payment methods and payment processing

- Online payments: the school's published online payments guidance uses an e‑collect / online portal for family billing and educational services; the portal accepts card payments (Visa/Mastercard logos are shown) and guides families to add concepts, enter values and complete payments online.
- Bank / collection agreements: the school operates with standard local collection channels and bank collection agreements for third‑party payment processing (families may pay through partner bank collection points or the transport provider portal for transport fees). Specific bank account or convenio codes are provided to families on invoices or via the school's billing portal.

Key practical notes about grade‑by‑grade figures

- Detailed, per‑grade and per‑term tuition tables are not published openly on the public site. Specific matricula and pension amounts are issued to families through the school's billing/cost certificate system and in official invoices; therefore, for precise term‑by‑term and grade‑by‑grade amounts you will need the school's family billing statement or the official cost certificate generated for the fiscal period.

Summary of the most directly available fee figures

- Application fees: Pre‑K COP 300,000; K–12 COP 260,000.
- Press‑reported indicative amounts for 2026 (approximate benchmark): matriculation ~ COP 4,152,740; monthly pension ~ COP 3,397,697 (may vary by grade).
- Extracurricular annual fees (examples and semestral billing): Art COP 2,360,000 (two payments of COP 1,180,000); Music/Robotics/Karate COP 2,300,000 (two payments of COP 1,150,000).

If you need a structured, grade‑by‑grade fee table for your database: the school issues those figures to families through the billing/cost certificate and the family account; those certificates are the source used for exact per‑grade per‑term numbers. The school's public pages and financial reports confirm the existence of those billing systems but do not publish a full public fee schedule by grade.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Prekindergarten admissions for 2026–2027 begin with three informative sessions and campus tours. Information sessions are scheduled for September 19 and 24, with a Community information session on October 15. The admissions process moves forward in stages as dates pass, so families should monitor for new steps and instructions. 2. PowerSchool enrollment and the admission form process begin after the information session. Pre-registration is completed online, and families receive a confirmation email with login credentials to create the family account. Families without current CLN students must create a Family Account and then complete Form A for each applicant. A payment of 300,000 Colombian pesos is required at the final step of Form A; alumni are exempt. 3. Families who have completed Form A receive a link to schedule a virtual interview with the admissions team. Interviews take place between October and December. This step does not apply to families who already have children enrolled at the school. The interview supports the review of the applicant's information collected so far. 4. For Preschool admissions, Form C is sent directly to the current preschools or schools for completion. The deadline for completion is December 12. The Form C responses are used as part of the preschool admissions process. 5. Updates to the Admissions Form with Preschool Reports and Therapy Records are requested if reports arrive after the initial submission. Deadline: January 13, 2025. 6. Admission Activity Days for Applicants (Play Day) invite applicants to spend a morning at the school to get to know the environment and interact with current students and staff. The days occur between January and March. 7. Admission Results for Prekindergarten are communicated by email on March 25, 2026, with the admission decision conveyed to families. This marks the end of the Prekindergarten admissions process. 8. If spots are available, the Admissions Department will invite the family to an information session to present the school and provide details about the admissions process, as well as schedule a family interview. This step initiates the formal admissions process. 9. Information Session for Kindergarten to 12th Grade follows spot confirmation, where the school is presented and the admissions process is detailed, including the interview timeline. Families are informed about programs, policies, and the admissions review process. 10. Forms and Application Fee: The Admissions Department will email the family with Form A (to be completed by the family), Form C (to be completed by the applicant's preschool or current school for Kindergarten, K5, or 1st grade), and Forms D (2nd–5th grades) and E (6th–12th grades) to be completed by the applicant's current school. The application fee is 260,000 Colombian pesos. 11. Testing for applicants: Applicants are required to complete the admissions assessments. The assessments are part of the admissions decision process. 12. Admissions Results: Families will receive the results of the admissions process by email, which communicates the admission decision for the next school year.

Scholarships
The Financial Support Program offers three main scholarship categories and related opportunities. 1) Scholarship for temporary economic difficulties: Available to students who are not children of teachers and whose families face verifiable, recent economic hardship. A maximum of one scholarship per family is awarded for one academic year and can be renewed for up to three full scholarships during five years. The Solidarity Fund supports families with fees for therapies, tutoring, technology, school supplies, texts and school materials, transportation, uniforms, cafeteria service, and related expenses; interested families can register or email fondosolidaridad@nogales.edu.co. 2) Scholarships for children of teachers: Awarded to children of full-time teachers at the school; no verifiable economic hardship is required, as these scholarships are part of the school's hiring policies. 3) Excellence scholarships: Designed to promote diversity and merit, with three categories under the Financial Support Program: Prekindergarten Scholarships, Merit Scholarships, and the Academic Talent Program. 3a) Prekindergarten Scholarships: Financial support for registration and tuition for selected families based on income, welcoming those committed to academic achievement. 3b) Merit scholarships: Aimed at students ages 11–15 who have not attended Colegio Los Nogales but show academic excellence and strong social-emotional skills; selected students may receive financial support to cover part of the costs for 5th to 8th grades and may receive subsidies for extracurricular activities; ongoing support from internal and external professionals is provided as needed, including academic catch-up assistance. 3c) Academic Talent Program: In partnership with the Alquería Cavelier Foundation and the Secretary of Education of Cajicá, the program enrolls outstanding public-school 5th graders from Cajicá to complete their schooling at Los Nogales; it covers educational costs and provides subsidies for activities and technology items, with professional support as needed; the program aims for students to continue to higher education, including potential support to study at Universidad de los Andes after graduation through the Alquería Cavelier Foundation.
