Fees
Overview

San Roberto International School, Monterrey operates as a day school with two campuses (San Agustín and Valle Alto). The school does not publish a public, itemised 2026/27 fee schedule on its public admissions pages; a detailed, student-specific fee schedule and invoice is provided to families during or after the admissions/enrolment process.

Application / enrollment fees

- There is a formal application and enrollment process. Families complete an online application and submit required documentation; the application process asks for the person responsible for paying fees and for proof of no outstanding balances from previous schools. The publicly available application form does not display a fixed, published application or registration fee amount; application/enrolment fee amounts are issued on acceptance and in enrollment paperwork.

Tuition fees and how they are presented

- No published per-year-group tuition amounts (term or annual) for the 2026/27 academic year are available on the school's public Nord Anglia admissions pages. Families receive a full fee schedule (showing tuition by year group and any applicable one-off fees) as part of the admissions/enrolment documentation.

- Typical line items that appear on Nord Anglia school fee schedules and that families should expect to see on San Roberto invoices include: one-time family/registration or enrollment fee (non-refundable in many Nord Anglia schools), annual tuition by year group, capital/fund or development levy (where applicable), optional bus/transport fees, meal/lunch program fees, extracurricular/activity or trips fees, and insurance or student accident cover. The school's public admissions materials do not list specific numeric values for these items. (This statement about typical line items is an evidence-supported inference from published Nord Anglia school fee schedules.)

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing is invoice-based and handled by the school's finance office. The public admissions and application pages indicate families will receive invoices and enrolment documentation; however, San Roberto's public pages do not publish specific term dates or the exact 2026/27 billing calendar or installment options.

- Nord Anglia schools commonly offer invoicing and payment schedules such as annual, biannual, termly or monthly installments and require tuition to be paid in advance of each billing period. Invoices typically state due dates, bank transfer instructions, and references to use (invoice number / student name). It is reasonable to expect San Roberto to provide a similar set of invoice/payment options in its enrolment documentation. (This is an evidence-supported inference based on Nord Anglia fee policies published for other schools.)

Boarding fees

- San Roberto International School, Monterrey is listed as a day school (not a boarding school). There are no boarding fees applicable because the school's public profile identifies it as a day school.

Other costs and typical additional fees

- Typical additional costs that families should expect to appear on the school's fee schedule or invoices include: school uniform costs, school supplies and textbooks (when not covered by tuition), school lunch or catering charges (if applicable to the chosen meal plan), school transport/bus charges, costs for off-site trips and residential visits, extracurricular activity fees, and optional program fees (e.g., special language support, external examination fees). These items are commonly itemised on Nord Anglia schools' published fee schedules and are likely to appear on San Roberto's enrolment documentation.

Refunds and withdrawal charges

- San Roberto's publicly available admissions and application pages do not publish a detailed refund or withdrawal policy on the public admissions pages or the online application form. For many Nord Anglia schools, enrollment/family fees are specified as non-refundable in the school fee policy, and tuition refund conditions (if any) are tightly prescribed (for example, limited or no refunds except in exceptional, documented circumstances). Families should expect any specific refund, late-withdrawal penalty or credit policy to be included in the school's enrollment contract and invoice terms. (This statement combines the absence of a public San Roberto policy with evidence of typical Nord Anglia school refund wording.)

Fee payment options

- For Nord Anglia schools, accepted payment methods commonly include bank/electronic transfer (with instructions and reference details on the invoice) and credit/debit card. Some Nord Anglia schools also support third-party international payment platforms (for example Flywire or CardUp) and accept in-person payments to the finance office. For specific activities or regional events run by Nord Anglia, payment is often by credit card only. San Roberto's public admissions pages do not list a specific, school-level payment methods list, so families are provided payment instructions and accepted methods on their invoices or fee documents issued by the school. (This is an evidence-supported inference based on Nord Anglia published fee documents and event pages.)

How fees are presented on enrolment paperwork (what you will receive)

- Parents who proceed through the San Roberto admissions process receive formal enrollment documents and invoices that show the required one-time and recurring fees, payment schedule and the finance office contact details. The online application and admissions pages require information about the fee payer and request documentation such as letters confirming no outstanding balances from previous schools, which indicates that detailed billing and enrolment terms are communicated as part of acceptance paperwork.

Admissions / finance contacts (for fee schedule and invoice requests)

- Valle Alto campus admissions: Camino a Valle Alto km 1, CP 64989 Monterrey, N.L. Admissions phone: +52 (81) 8000-2158; admissions email: admisionesva@sanroberto.edu.mx.

Summary note about publicly available fee information (short and factual)

- A fully itemised public fee schedule with specific tuition amounts by year group for the 2026/27 academic year is not posted on the school's public Nord Anglia admissions pages; detailed numeric fees are provided to families in admissions/enrolment documentation and on official invoices.
