Notes on the above breakdowns:
- Annual tuition figures are shown by year group (grade/age) and are presented as the total yearly tuition.
- The school issues tuition invoices in July and (for programs documented in the school's conditions) prorrates the annual tuition into 10 equal monthly payments from September to June; the 10-month proration is used above to produce the per‑month figures.
- If the school issues termly invoices instead of monthly instalments, a simple division of the annual fee by three will produce a per‑term figure (annual fee ÷ 3). The school's documented billing practice for the Dual Diploma program is the 10‑month prorration noted above.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school issues tuition bills in July and (where specified for a program) prorrates the annual amount into 10 monthly instalments to be collected from September through June. For the Dual Diploma program the school's rules specify that if a pupil withdraws mid‑year the family remains responsible for the instalments due through the end of the current semester. Cancellation of a Dual Diploma registration within the first five calendar days of the first semester triggers a full refund of matriculation and fees under the program's stated conditions.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not an offered service for this centre; services listed for families are day‑school services (for example: canteen / comedor and school transport). No boarding fees apply.

Other costs and fees (uniform, materials, canteen, transport, extra services)

- School materials lists are published by year group and specific material kits are provided via the school's course start / materials pages. Parents purchase required uniforms and some materials through the school's online store (uniforms & material shop). Uniform purchases are collected at the school uniform shop.
- Canteen (comedor) is provided by an external catering partner; menus and canteen registration are managed through the school. The canteen is billed separately from tuition.
- School transport (bus routes) is available as a separate paid service and must be registered via the school's services. Transport is billed separately from tuition.
- Additional optional charges may include extracurricular activities, specific course materials, examination fees for external testing or diploma programs, and other program‑specific fees (for example, fees associated with the American Dual Diploma are listed separately in that program's conditions).

Uniform and online store terms

- Uniforms and school shop products are sold via the school's online store and must be collected at the school uniform shop. The online store's payment gateway accepts card payments through the bank pasarela (Redsys). The store's refund/returns policy specifies limited returns and, in many cases, no refunds (exchanges for size rather than refunds are the normal procedure).

Refund and cancellation information

- Program‑specific refund rules apply. For the American Dual Diploma program a cancellation notified within five calendar days from the start of the first semester triggers a full refund of matriculation and paid fees; cancellations for subsequent semesters handled within five calendar days of the semester start allow partial refunds of amounts billed for future semesters under the program rules. For that program refunds are processed within a stated timeframe (the program document specifies reimbursement no later than thirty days after cancellation when conditions are met).
- For online store purchases (uniforms) the store's policy allows a 14‑day withdrawal right for consumers from delivery; the online store's policy otherwise states that refunds are not admitted and exchanges (size changes) are permitted within the store's stated conditions.

Fee payment options and practical instructions

- The school's uniform online shop accepts card payments via the Redsys payment gateway. For tuition and program invoices, the school issues invoices (billing contact: contabilidad@colegiocostaadeje.com) and families should follow the payment instructions on the invoice or contact the accounting office for accepted payment methods. The school's accounting and admissions contacts and office hours are published for families to use for billing queries.

Summary of key facts (concise)

- Annual tuition by year group is: Nursery EUR 3,130; Kindergarten EUR 4,240; Primary lower years EUR 4,400–4,610; Lower secondary EUR 4,980; Grade 11 EUR 5,590; Grade 12 EUR 6,190.
