Fees

Annual tuition at Colegio Los Álamos ranges from PEN 17,600 to PEN 24,100 for 2026/27.

Application fees
- No publicly posted amount for an application/registration fee (cuota de ingreso/matrícula) for the 2026/27 or 2025/26 academic years is available in the school's accessible public materials. For the exact application and matrícula amounts, contact Tesorería or the Admissions office directly.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school does not publish a detailed, grade-by-grade fee table in publicly accessible pages for 2026/27 or 2025/26. A third-party directory lists a single “Valor Colegiatura S/ 1,600” entry for Colegio Los Álamos (level not specified); this listing should be treated as a third-party reference and not an official, itemised fee schedule. For precise tuition amounts by year group and by term, obtain the official fee schedule from the school's finance office.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- No definitive, publicly accessible billing calendar (term dates, number of instalments, due dates, late-payment penalties) is published in the materials reachable without restricted access. The school's “Información complementaria” materials reference evolution of pensión, matrícula and cuota de ingreso, indicating an official billing schedule exists internally. To confirm the number of instalments, monthly due dates, and any discounts for early or lump-sum payment, contact Tesorería or Admissions.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- No boarding (internado) programme or boarding fees are listed in the school's public information. The school's materials include references to school mobility/transport services (uso de movilidad escolar), consistent with a day-school operation rather than a residential/boarding model. Therefore, boarding fees do not apply. For final confirmation, contact the school.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, materials, extracurriculars, transport, insurance)
- Specific amounts for uniform, textbooks, school supplies, extracurricular activities, transport (servicio de movilidad escolar), insurance or other ancillary fees are not published in the accessible public materials. These additional charges are normally invoiced separately or shown on the school's official fee schedule; confirm exact items and amounts with Tesorería.

Refund information
- No publicly accessible, itemised refund or cancellation policy (for matrícula, pensiones, or ancillary fees) is available in the school's reachable documents. Any refund terms, conditions for withdrawal, or prorating policy for a student leaving before the end of a term are contained in the school's internal fee and administrative regulations. Request the school's refund policy from Tesorería or Admissions for exact terms.

Fee payment options
- The school's public materials accessible without restricted access do not list accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, cheques, cash, online payment portal). Contact Tesorería to confirm accepted payment channels and to obtain invoice/payment instructions.

How to obtain official, grade-specific fees and schedules
- Contact the school's Tesorería and Admissions offices to request the official, itemised fee schedule for the academic year you require. Contact details published for the school are:
- Tesorería: 989 581 023.
- Recepción / Secretaría académica: 989 581 031.
- General email: colegio@losalamos.edu.pe.
- Admissions: 947 593 221 / admision1@prodec.edu.pe.

Brief summary of findings
- The school's public “Información complementaria” materials indicate that official documents exist for matrícula, pensión and cuota de ingreso, but those fee documents or detailed schedules are not available through the pages that can be accessed without restricted or authenticated access. A third-party directory lists a single tuition figure (S/ 1,600) without grade-level breakdown. To provide a complete, authoritative per-term and per-grade fee breakdown, the school's official fee schedule (issued by Tesorería) is required; contact details are provided above.
