Registration fee (Matrícula) and tuition (Pensión) — amounts shown in published schedule

(These figures above are given in the order and grouping shown in the bulletin's fee table for the academic year indicated in that bulletin.)

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Payment pattern: The school uses an annual pension schedule with monthly installments; the 2021 bulletin sets a ten‑installment pattern with monthly due dates across the academic year and a final mid‑December deadline as published in the payment calendar. Specific due dates for the 2021 schedule are listed month by month in the bulletin.
- Late payment interest and collection: Late payments incur the legally applicable moratory interest (the bulletin records a reference percentage of 0.015% for 2021) and the school may report unpaid pensions to credit information services if debts exceed two months; the family is responsible for communications and recovery costs if legal collection actions are required.
- Ratification/confirmation: Ratification of matriculation is scheduled annually (ratification period and refund/ratification deadlines are set in the bulletin). Payment of the registration fee and submission of the deposit/voucher generate the school's pension payment schedule for the year.

Payment methods and payment instructions
- Bank app / agency / deposit: Payments may be made through the BCP mobile app, at BCP agent outlets, or by deposit to the school's BCP savings account in soles: 570-28564564-0-48 (CENTRO PERUANO AMERICANO). Parents are asked to send deposit images to the school WhatsApp to confirm payment with the required payment details.
- Card payments (link): Card payments (Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Diners, credit or debit) are accepted via a payment link that is issued on request (the link is sent to the family by WhatsApp or email after requesting the payment link).

Boarding / dormitory fees
- No boarding services or boarding/hostel fees are listed in the school's published informational bulletin; the school's materials and bulletins describe day‑school services only.

Other costs and additional fees
- Uniforms: The bulletin addresses the institutional uniform and its use (for remote modality the uniform is noted as part of institutional identity), but specific uniform prices are not published in the bulletin. Parents should expect separate charges for uniforms when applicable and for replacement items; the bulletin does not list itemized uniform prices.
- Materials / supplies: The school publishes grade supply lists (for example, IB program supply lists are listed for 2025), indicating that booklists and materials are additional costs; specific per‑item amounts for supplies are not listed in the 2021 bulletin.
- Extracurriculars / workshops / technology / events: The bulletin and school materials reference extracurricular workshops, technology and event/retreat concepts that may carry additional charges; specific recurring charges for extracurricular activities or technology were not itemized in the 2021 bulletin.

Refund and cancellation policy
- Refund mechanics: The bulletin states that refunds of registration fees, entry fees and pensions (where applicable) are calculated proportionally to the time of student attendance, after deducting any outstanding debts. Refunds due are processed within thirty (30) calendar days from the resolution of the contract. Families are not required to waive refund rights.

Summary of available published fee information and currency / academic year
- The most detailed fee schedule found in the school's public informational materials is contained in the school's academic bulletin that presents costs for the 2021 academic year; that bulletin provides the entry fee, registration fee and monthly pension values shown above, the 2021 billing calendar with monthly due dates, late‑payment interest rules, the bank account for deposits, and the refund rules.
- The school's site and news/bulletin pages show continued issuance of bulletins and informational downloads for later years, but a distinct published fee schedule for the 2025/26 or 2026/27 academic year was not located in publicly available bulletins or pages during this review. The figures shown above are taken from the school's published bulletin for the 2021 academic year as cited.
