Fees
Application / Registration fees
- The school requires a registration (inscripción) fee to secure an offered place; families are required to pay the registration fee within two weeks after acceptance to hold the student's place.
- The specific amount for the application/registration fee is not published in the school's publicly available admissions materials.

Tuition fees by year group and per term
- No public fee schedule with grade-by-grade or term-by-term tuition amounts is published in the school's publicly available materials. The school lists its educational levels (Nursery/Preschool/Elementary/Middle/High School) but does not publish a public table of tuition values.
- Because per-grade and per-term tuition figures are not published, exact annual and per-term amounts cannot be stated here. (No alternative official public fee list or OpenApply directory entry provides numeric tuition details.)

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school requires prompt payment of registration fees within two weeks of acceptance to secure a place.
- The school operates a cashier for in-person payments and publishes announcements indicating scheduled payment start dates for specific charges (for example, academy/enrichment payments are announced with a start date for payments at the school cashier). No standard yearly billing calendar (for example: number of installments, due dates by term) is published in the school's public admissions documents.

Boarding fees
- The school operates as a day school; there is no boarding provision listed, and therefore no boarding fees apply.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- The school offers extracurricular academies/activities that require payment; announcements reference paying these fees at the school cashier, but specific prices for academies, materials, uniforms, technology charges or similar ancillary fees are not published in the public materials reviewed.
- Uniforms, textbooks, school materials, transport, exam or IB subject fees are not listed with public prices; any such charges are not published in the school's publicly accessible admissions or information documents.

Refund information
- No publicly available refund or tuition-cancellation policy is published in the school's admissions literature or public PDFs; a published refund policy or formal statement of conditions for reimbursement was not found in the materials reviewed.

Fee payment options
- The school uses an on-campus cashier for payments (in-person cashier payments are announced for academy fees). No public statement of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, local deposit, online payment portal) is published in the school's publicly available admissions or fee materials.

Summary and practical notes for parents
- Registration (inscripción) is required and must be paid within two weeks to secure an offered place.
- The school is a day school; there are no boarding charges.
- Specific numeric amounts for application fees, annual tuition by year group, per-term billing, uniform costs, refund rules, and accepted payment methods are not published in the school's publicly available admissions documents and directory listings; therefore exact figures and formal payment-method details cannot be provided here.

If you require precise numeric fee values (application fee amount, tuition by grade and per term, boarding fees if any change occurs, and the school's refund and payment-method policies), the school's admissions office is the official contact for those figures as they are not published in the public materials reviewed.

Admissions

Admissions
Step 1. Admissions at Madison International School Mérida offer personalized attention from a member of the Admissions Department who explains the process in detail. The admissions team is available to assist by phone or email. Step 2. The admission process begins with an interview with the family. The family then fills out the application form and submits complete documentation. The Academic Directorate reviews the documentation to ensure it meets school requirements, and space availability is checked before moving forward. Step 3. Documentation required per student is comprehensive. It includes birth certificate and CURP, plus official grades from the last three school years if applicable. It also requires proof of studies from the current school, a letter of good conduct, and a letter of no debt (where applicable for private schools). Official identification of parents/guardians, proof of address, a letter of recommendation or family reference, an updated vaccination record (maternal and preschool only), and any required recommendation forms from the current school (as of 1st grade). Step 4. Admission is based on an interview with the family, space availability, a successful evaluation, and the composition of the student's record. Madison seeks students who can benefit from the learning program and bring talents, abilities, imagination, and curiosity to the school community, as well as families who can strengthen and engage with the Madison community. Step 5. There are waiting lists for many grades. Students who have completed the admissions process and are deemed qualified may be asked to join the waiting list due to space limitations. Students on the waiting list who cannot be admitted in the current cycle have the option to wait and go through the admission process for the following year. Step 6. If the student is accepted, the family has two weeks to pay the registration to secure space. If not accepted, the school will notify the family of the decision and the reasons.

Waitlist
Yes, there are waiting lists for many grades. Students who complete the admissions process and are considered qualified may be asked to join the waiting list due to space limitations. Students on the waiting list who cannot be admitted in the current cycle have the option to wait and re-enter the admissions process for the following year.
