Introduction

Tecnológico de Monterrey - Sede Esmeralda is a secondary and pre-university campus located in Fracc. Conjunto Urbano Bosque Esmeralda, Atizapán de Zaragoza, Estado de México. The campus offers two internationally recognized pathways: the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP) and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. In the IB DP, students undertake a two-year program that includes six subject groups, the Theory of Knowledge course, an Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity and Service experiences, all designed to develop critical thinking, research skills, and global perspectives. The AP program provides college-level courses across various disciplines, with assessments that can support university admission in Mexico and abroad. The dual offering gives students flexibility to tailor their studies toward international university admissions while remaining within the Tec de Monterrey network. The Esmeralda campus emphasizes rigorous academic preparation alongside personal development, with resources and guidance to help students plan for higher education paths beyond national boundaries and opportunities.

The Essentials

Stages
PrepaTec high school program
Fees
Application / Admission fees

- There is an application/admision charge and a Reserva de Lugar (reservation/anticipo) required to secure an offered place. The Reserva de Lugar normally includes two components: (1) an amount that is credited toward the first period of colegiatura and (2) a Cobertura de Pago de Colegiatura (insurance/coverage) linked to the reservation. The exact amounts vary by program and campus.

Tuition fees by year group (amounts per term / per year)

- Tecnológico de Monterrey (PrepaTec) sets tuition at the campus and program level and publishes cost estimates through its interactive colegiaturas tool rather than providing a single public fee table for each campus. For PrepaTec Sede Esmeralda, the institution does not publish a campus-specific, per-term/per-year fee schedule in a static public table; therefore exact numeric amounts by year group and per term for the 2026/27 (or 2025/26) academic year are not available in a public fee table. Tuition amounts are determined by campus, program (for example: Bicultural, Multicultural, International) and payment option selected.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Billing is administered according to the campus' defined payment periods. The institution uses semester billing options (semesters are a standard billing period for many programs) and also supports alternate payment arrangements through the student billing portal; specific due dates and available payment plans are set per campus and per academic cycle.

- The Reserva de Lugar portion that is applied to colegiatura normally reduces the first billed period once enrollment is confirmed. Some programs with limited capacity require a differentReservation/anticipo amount; these are announced during the admissions process.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- PrepaTec Sede Esmeralda is listed as a PrepaTec campus; no boarding program or boarding-fee schedule is published for this campus. Therefore boarding fees do not apply for the standard PrepaTec offering at Sede Esmeralda.

Other costs and recurring ancillary fees

- Additional, separate costs that families commonly pay include: uniforms, textbooks and course materials, school supplies, mandatory health or entrance evaluations for certain programs, optional extracurricular activities, transport (if elected), and fees for special activities, assessments or international exchanges. These concepts are charged in addition to colegiatura and may be billed at enrollment or during the year; campus-level amounts and which items are included in colegiatura versus billed separately vary by campus. Exact amounts for these items at Sede Esmeralda are not published in a campus-specific fee table.

Refund information

- The Reserva de Lugar and certain other advance payments have defined refund rules: in general a refund request for a paid Reserva de Lugar can be made within a limited window (for example, a 15‑day window is described for some admission reservations) and some payment concepts have their own refund lineamientos. Refund processing methods vary depending on the original payment method and the elapsed time since payment.

- Refund execution: when payment was made by card and the refund request is within the campus/central policy window, refunds are normally returned to the same card; if that window has elapsed, refunds are processed by bank transfer following the institution's refund procedures.

Fee payment options and instruments

- Accepted payment methods include online card payment, PayPal, bank deposit using an issued ficha de pago, and electronic transfers (SPEI). Retail cash-payment channels (for example OXXO or other convenience-store payment slips) are supported via a referenced payment voucher when those channels are made available for a given payment. The institution also offers financial products such as Inversión Educativa TEC that allow families to pre-purchase certificates of colegiatura for future use.

Summary statement about numeric values

- No campus-specific numeric fee schedule (per term and per year group) for PrepaTec Sede Esmeralda is published in a static public table for the 2026/27 academic year. The school publishes fee estimates and admissions/registration rules and handles exact campus/program amounts through its admissions and billing tools; therefore exact per-term and per-year numeric amounts for Sede Esmeralda cannot be provided here as a definitive fee table.
