Fees
Application / Enrollment fee
- An enrollment (registration) fee is required to confirm a place once an offer or contract is issued. The school's published admissions materials reference payment of an enrollment fee at contract stage and an initial payment to secure the place (commonly the first month's tuition).

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The Edron Academy does not publish a detailed, public fee schedule showing tuition by specific year group or precise per-term amounts for the 2026/27 academic year (or for 2025/26) on its public admissions pages.
- Third‑party fee estimates and press summaries indicate approximate levels used by market observers: a published press article lists a rough annual cost figure near MXN 105,396 for total annual cost in an illustrative comparison of high-cost CDMX schools, and an education consultancy list shows example figures labelled as “Inscripción” MXN 17,566 and “Colegiatura” MXN 10,309 (these appear in third‑party compilations rather than an official Edron fee table). These third‑party numbers are presented here as externally reported estimates only.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school offers multiple payment schedules: full annual payment, quarterly payments, and a monthly plan (10 monthly instalments). The school materials reference payment-in-full due by the start of term (examples previously cited show tuition due in August under the full‑payment option), a four‑quarter option, and a 10‑month monthly option. A Tuition Refund Plan is listed as a required component of some payment options. The school's admissions/fee information also references the requirement to pay the first month's tuition and a field‑trip fee as part of the onboarding/payment process.
- Where automatic collection is used the school references amounts being “paid or drafted,” indicating the use of direct‑debit / automated drafting for instalment plans; specific merchant/payment processors or card acceptance policies are not detailed in the publicly available fee text.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- The Edron Academy operates as a day school providing early years through secondary (pre‑school / primary / secondary) education and does not list boarding or residential provision as part of its programmes. No separate boarding fees are published.

Other costs and typical additional fees
- The school's fee materials reference supplementary charges such as a field‑trip fee and the required Tuition Refund Plan; detailed lists of uniforms, textbooks, materials, extra‑curricular activity fees, exam fees or per‑student annual materials charges are not published in a comprehensive public fee sheet. Families should expect the normal additional items that private schools commonly charge (uniforms, books/licences, optional activity fees and school events) though the school's public pages do not provide a full itemised list.

Refund information
- The school's public fee content explicitly references a “Tuition Refund Plan” as a required element for certain payment plans. A full, itemised public refund / cancellation policy (for example, whether enrollment fees or deposits are refundable, or how tuition is prorated on withdrawal) is not available in the school's publicly posted fee material. No comprehensive refund schedule was located in the publicly accessible admissions/fees material.

Fee payment options
- The school's payment framework shows the following mechanisms in its public fee descriptions: payment in full (single annual payment), payment by instalments via quarterly or monthly plans, and automatic drafting for recurring instalment payments. The fee material does not list a definitive public menu of accepted merchant methods (specific credit‑card acceptance, online payment gateway names, or bank account details) on the public fee pages.

Brief summary of findings (availability of precise 2026/27 figures)
- A full, year‑grouped fee schedule with exact per‑term and per‑year figures for 2026/27 (and for 2025/26) was not found on the school's publicly available admissions or publications pages. Publicly accessible school material does describe the categories of charges, the available payment plans (annual, quarterly, 10‑month), the requirement for an enrollment payment and first month's tuition, and a required Tuition Refund Plan, but it does not publish an itemised, current price table by year group. Third‑party press and consultancy sources provide approximate/illustrative numbers (cited above) but these are not presented as an official, itemised Edron fee schedule.
