- Other refund or cancellation rules (for tuition, extracurriculars or other charges) are not published in the Primaria cost sheet located; no additional refund schedule was found in the materials consulted.

*Fee payment options and labels on the fee sheet*

- The published Primaria fee sheet presents two labeled payment categories — “Discover” and “Apple” — with distinct monthly rates shown under each label. The document does not otherwise list a full set of accepted payment channels (for example, explicit bank transfer/SPEI account details, full credit‑card processing instructions, or point‑of‑sale specifics). The fee sheet also notes invoice (factura) procedures for registration if required.

*Summary of findings and remaining gaps (concise)*

- The published Primaria cost sheet for the 2026–27 cycle with full new‑entry charges, monthly tuition rates (two payment categories), payment windows, discounts, assessment fee and the inscription‑refund deadline was located and is the basis of the figures above.
- No separate published fee schedule for Preescolar or Secundaria (per‑grade tuition amounts or per‑term breakdown) was located in the materials consulted; sibling discounts are stated to apply from Preescolar through Preparatoria but specific tuition amounts for those levels were not published in the documents found. The school's public pages list Preescolar, Primaria and Secundaria as offered levels.

If you will add these figures to a database: use the Primaria figures above (currency MXN) and note that the published document explicitly covers Primaria 2026–27. For Preescolar and Secundaria, no per‑grade tuition amounts for 2026–27 were published in the materials located; those line items remain blank pending a direct fee schedule for those levels.
