Fees
Application and admission fees
- Application / inscription (one-time): reported values vary in public listings; commonly cited amounts are COP 255,000 to COP 270,000 as the cost to begin the admissions process.

Enrollment (matrícula) and one‑off charges
- Enrollment (matrícula) is reported differently across sources; published third‑party listings show a range from around COP 1,900,000 up to approximately COP 3,990,000 depending on the document and the year/grade referenced. Expect an annual matrícula in that range when budgeting.

Tuition (pensión) — typical monthly and annual amounts by year group
- Monthly tuition (pensión) reported in public listings varies by entry grade and by source. Representative figures found in recent third‑party summaries and media coverage are:
- Pre‑kinder / early years: approximately COP 2,500,000 to COP 2,800,000 per month (reported range for entry‑level grades).
- Primary / middle years: some listings show monthly pension figures in the neighborhood of COP 1,649,000 up to COP 2,059,000 or higher depending on whether a discount (bono) is applied and on grade.
- Annual tuition total will depend on the school's billing months (see Billing schedule). Use the monthly ranges above multiplied by the number of billed months to estimate annual cost; third‑party summaries show total annual costs consistent with these monthly figures.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Publicly available third‑party listings indicate a common billing structure of approximately 10 monthly pension payments per academic year (some documents show 10 months billed; other institutions may bill on 11 or 12 months depending on the contract selected). Confirm which billing cycle applies to the chosen enrollment year when finalizing costs.
- Discounts and payment‑in‑advance bonuses are reported in some listings (for example, a discount or “bono” applied for early/annual payment that changes the effective monthly/annual cost). Specific discount amounts vary by year and by source.

Boarding fees
- Saint George's School (Colegio San Jorge de Inglaterra) operates as a day school and does not list a boarding program; no boarding fees are published. Services referenced for students include on‑site food service and transport rather than residential accommodation.

Other regular costs and optional extras
- School food (servicio de alimentación): separate meal plan fees are listed in third‑party summaries (examples: around COP 448,000–499,000 per month in some documents); actual meal plan pricing depends on grade and plan selected.
- Transport / school bus (ruta): third‑party listings show transport costs in publications and PDFs in the range of roughly COP 392,000 per month in example documents; actual route pricing depends on zone and selected service.
- Uniforms, yearbook, materials, insurance and other one‑off school charges are customary; specific one‑off items and their prices are reported variably (examples in public listings include separate line items for seguro, sistematización, anuario, material). Uniforms are required, and the school describes the types of uniform used by level.
- Extracurricular activities: the school indicates many after‑school activities are offered without additional cost for students in most grades; a small number of semilleros or weekend activities may carry a symbolic additional fee (transport and materials included in some cases).

Refunds and fee‑cancellation policy
- No publicly posted, detailed refund or fee‑cancellation policy for tuition, matrícula or admission fees was found in the materials reviewed. Where refund rules are not published, standard practice is that refund and cancellation conditions are specified in the enrolment contract; those contractual terms determine eligibility and timing for refunds (amounts and conditions vary). Specific refund rules were not available in the documents located.

Accepted payment methods and payment instructions
- No definitive, current list of accepted payment methods (for example, specific bank accounts, online portal, credit card acceptance, or installment providers) was publicly available in the materials reviewed. Third‑party summaries of school costs do not consistently list payment rails. Expect common payment methods such as bank transfer or card to be possible, but verify exact payment channels and any fees or installment options directly with admissions or finance.

Summary of the evidence base and currency of figures
- The school's public admission and information pages describe the admissions process, calendar and student services but do not publish a definitive, itemized fee schedule for the 2026/27 academic year in the reviewed content. Available numeric figures come from third‑party school‑listing pages, media reports and compiled PDFs; those sources report differing amounts for matrícula and pensión by year and by whether discounts apply. As a result, the figures above should be treated as indicative ranges rather than a single, definitive 2026/27 fee schedule.
Academics

Saint George's School - Bogota teaches Cambridge (Primary), Cambridge (Secondary), Cambridge IGCSE for students aged 4 to 18.

Curriculum
Saint George's School uses the Cambridge International Curriculum. The school has always taught English and French with a focus on communication; students read, write, and present in English and French, while Spanish is the mother tongue and English is the international academic language; French is taught as a foreign language. English begins in pre-kindergarten and French begins in third grade. Cambridge International Education centers on five fundamental elements: international curriculum, teaching and learning, assessments, international recognition, and a global community. In 2012 SGS became a Cambridge International School to broaden the international curriculum, and in August 2021 Cambridge University Press and Assessment integrated publishing and assessment operations, keeping SGS's Cambridge affiliation.
