Introduction

International Montessori School Sotogrande offers a bilingual, child-centered education in a welcoming Andalusia setting. The school follows a Montessori curriculum across four stages: Nido (0–18 months), Infant Community (18 months–3 years), Children's House (3–6 years), and Lower and Upper Elementary (6–12 years). Accredited by NEASC and AMI and authorized by Junta de Andalucía, IMS combines Montessori practice with international standards and local requirements. Students learn through hands-on, project-based exploration in math, language, science, art, and history, with instruction delivered in English and Spanish. Classrooms are prepared environments guided by trained Montessori professionals, fostering autonomy, collaboration, and social responsibility. The campus supports wellbeing with yoga, mindfulness, and emotional education, and offers on-site pediatric care via KidsCare. Monthly Learning Walks connect classroom topics to the real world; weekly updates and periodic parent meetings strengthen home–school partnership. A Rainbow Team and diverse after-school offerings ensure inclusive learning and holistic development for every child.

Fees
Application fees
- Exact application / enrollment fee amounts are not available in publicly retrievable materials. The admissions page includes a downloadable fee schedule titled "IMS - Tarifas y Servicios.pdf," but that fee document could not be accessed for extraction during this lookup.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group)
- Detailed numeric tuition rates by year group and per-term amounts are not available from the materials that could be retrieved. The school publishes a separate fee schedule intended to list these amounts; that schedule was not accessible for extraction.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The published admissions information describes that an enrollment payment is required as part of the final documentation and pre-enrolment steps, but specific billing cycles (termly / monthly / annual instalments), payment deadlines, and any early-payment discounts or penalties are set out in the fee schedule that could not be retrieved.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- International Montessori School Sotogrande operates as an early years and primary/day school for young children (nido, infant community, children's house, lower/upper elementary) and does not operate a boarding provision; therefore no boarding fees apply.

Other costs or fees (uniforms, meals, extra services, transport, extracurriculars)
- The school lists additional services and extras in its admissions materials and refers to a comprehensive fees-and-services document for items such as meals, before/after-care, extracurricular clubs, and uniforms. Exact prices for uniforms, meals, bus service, extended hours, consumables, insurance, and similar extras were not accessible in the retrievable fee document.

Refund information
- No specific refund policy text or detailed refund amounts could be extracted from publicly retrievable materials; refund and cancellation terms are typically defined in the school's formal fee schedule and contractual admission documents that were not accessible for extraction.

Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / direct debit)
- The public admissions overview indicates that payment of the enrollment fee is a required step in finalising registration, but explicit accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, credit/debit card, direct debit or instalment plan options) were not available in the accessible materials and are listed in the full fee schedule.

Practical next step (contact information to obtain the current fee schedule and exact amounts)
- Admissions email: admissions@ims-sotogrande.com. Phone: +34 653 04 17 39. The school's admissions page and registration portal reference a downloadable fees-and-services PDF and an online registration system.

Summary of retrieval: a detailed, published fee schedule is linked from the school's admissions page (document titled "IMS - Tarifas y Servicios.pdf"), but that file could not be accessed for extraction in this lookup; therefore exact numeric values for application fees, per-term/per-year tuition by year group, billing schedules, extras, refund terms, and accepted payment methods could not be provided here.
