Fees
Application / Admission fees
- An admission evaluation fee is required for applicants (certain grades require payment of an admission assessment). Exact numeric amounts are not published publicly.

Tuition structure (by section) — amounts not published
- The school charges tuition and related annual registration components in Mexican pesos and the amounts vary by section (Preescolar, Primaria, Secundaria, Bachillerato). Exact per-grade or per-term numeric rates are not published on publicly available materials.
- The annual registration payment includes two components labeled in institutional policy as Inscripción and Cuota de Padres de Familia (CPF). The school confirms the tuition schedule differs by section and is determined each cycle.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Inscription payment: the inscription must be paid within five business days following authorization of admission; at the time of inscription the school provides written information on the available payment methods and invoicing requirements.
- Option to split inscription: there is an institutional option to pay the inscription in two parts (50% of the inscription plus the Cuota de Padres in March, and the remaining 50% in May).
- Monthly tuition: monthly tuition payments are due during the month in course. A prompt-payment benefit applies for payments made in the first 15 days of each month; from day 16 onward the full monthly fee applies. Failure to pay three monthly installments permits the school to suspend services until the outstanding balance is cleared.
- For students admitted after the school year has started, inscription is charged proportionally and the Cuota de Padres de Familia (CPF) is charged at 100%.

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. The institution is organized by day-school sections from Preescolar through Bachillerato and no boarding/hostel program is listed among the school's sections or services.

Other costs and one-off charges
- Cuota de Padres de Familia (CPF): this mandatory component is included as part of the annual inscription payment.
- Textbooks, school supplies and book-sale dates: the school issues a book-sale schedule and a list of required supplies; these are additional one‑time costs at the start of the year.
- Uniforms: uniforms must be obtained through the school's authorized uniform provider (official Kipling uniform supplier). Uniform purchase is a separate cost.
- Extras that commonly incur separate fees: extracurricular workshops, special activities, optional sports or cultural programs, transportation, and replacement of student ID/cards — these categories are referenced in institutional materials as separate cost items or administrative charges. Numeric values for these items are not published in the publicly available admissions policy.

Refunds and cancellation
- There is no publicly posted numeric refund schedule or detailed refund policy in the institution's admissions policy. The admissions policy specifies payment timing rules, deadlines and the consequences of non-payment (service suspension after three missed monthly payments) but does not publish a standard refund table for inscription or tuition.

Fee payment options
- Online payments: the school uses the Aula Escolar platform for online billing and payment; families receive access credentials for the platform and a written guide to payment options.
- At inscription the family is provided written details of the available payment methods and invoicing (facturación) requirements; invoices/CFDI are handled according to the school's invoicing procedures.

Brief note on published numeric amounts and effective cycle
- The school's published admissions policy and parent communications describe the fee components, billing schedule, and payment rules but do not publish numeric tuition, inscription, or other fee amounts on publicly accessible pages or documents for the 2026/27 cycle; available institutional material indicates tuition amounts are provided directly to families during the admissions/registration process for each cycle. Because specific numeric rates by grade and by term are not published, no per-grade or per-term currency figures can be provided here.
