Fees
Application fees
- The school does not publish a current, detailed public schedule of application or one‑time enrollment fees for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year on its public pages.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group)
- There is no publicly available, up‑to‑date table showing tuition broken down by year group or per term for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26) on the school's public pages. A previously referenced fees file appears to have existed but is not accessible from the public site. Because the school has not published a current tuition schedule, specific termly or annual amounts for each year group cannot be listed here.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Standard billing approach indicated by the school: tuition is described in materials as billed in ten monthly payments (10 mensualidades). This is the stated billing cadence for school fees.
- The school operates an online payment/administration portal (Servo Escolar) for tuition and other school payments. Details of payment deadlines, penalties for late payment, or discount schedules are not published on the public pages examined.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The Colegio Británico de Guadalajara provides day‑school services (maternal, preescolar, primaria, secundaria) and lists campus services (cafetería, talleres, horario extendido). No boarding or residential programme is listed among the school services; therefore there are no boarding fees.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, extended services, meals, transport, extras)
- Uniforms: the school publishes a full uniform price list (2025–2026 cycle) with itemized prices in Mexican pesos; examples include:
- Chamarra / hoodie de deportes (talla 2–8): MXN 530.
- Chamarra / hoodie de deportes (talla 10–16): MXN 550.
- Pantalón de deportes (talla 2–8): MXN 380; pantalón de gala adulto: MXN 440.
- Polo de gala (talla 2–8): MXN 310; jumper de gala primaria (talla 2–8): MXN 310.
- Bordado personalizado: MXN 70.
- Horario extendido / comedor: the school offers an optional extended‑hours service with a cafeteria (nutritionally advised) and age‑specific afternoon schedules; the public description confirms the service exists but does not list its fees.
- Extracurriculars, workshops and special activities are listed among services, but individual prices for optional academies, after‑school clubs, school trips or exam fees are not published in a comprehensive fee schedule on the public pages.

Refund information
- No public refund or cancellation policy for tuition, enrollment deposits, or uniform purchases was found on the school's public pages. Refund conditions and timelines are not published in the materials available online.

Fee payment options
- The school uses the Servo Escolar online platform for payments and administrative transactions. The school lists Servo Escolar as the payment portal link; the specific accepted payment methods (credit/debit card, bank transfer, cash alternatives) are not detailed on the public pages reviewed.

Contact and practical notes
- For administrative purposes the school lists its admissions contact and telephone on public pages (Admisiones: admisiones@britanico.mx; phone +52 1 (33) 3647 1111). Use these contacts for exact, current tuition tables, billing deadlines, payment authorizations and refund rules.

Brief summary of findings and limits of the available public information
- The school's website and public pages provide: an explicit uniform price list (itemized in MXN), confirmation that an extended schedule and cafeteria service exist, a note that school fees are normally charged in ten monthly payments, and that payments are processed via the Servo Escolar portal.
- The site does not publish a current, itemized tuition schedule (termly or yearly amounts by year group) for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic year on its public pages; an older fee file was referenced but is not accessible. Because a current tuition listing is not publicly available, exact application fees, termly tuition figures by year group, boarding fees (not applicable), and formal refund terms could not be provided here.
