Fees
Application fee

- No fixed public amount for an application, registration or reservation fee is published for the current academic year. Families are provided with individual enrolment documentation and an admission process but no public numeric application fee appears in the school's published admissions materials.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)

- The school does not publish a public tuition table or fixed per‑year / per‑term fee schedule for the current academic year on its publicly available admissions or information bulletins. No specific numeric tuition figures for Infant (Infantil), Primary (Primaria), Secondary (Secundaria) or Bachillerato are listed in the school's general information pages or the school bulletin available for the 2025–2026 cycle.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- No published, itemised public billing schedule (for example: deposit amount, number of instalments, months of payment) or detailed payment terms for tuition are available in the school's public admissions materials and informational bulletin for the current academic year. Billing and payment terms are handled through the school's enrolment and invoicing process rather than via a public fee table.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- The school does not operate a boarding/residential programme and therefore there are no boarding fees. The school's public service listings and information do not include a residence or boarding offering.

Other costs and fees (uniform, meals, transport, extras, materials)

- Uniform: Uniform items are sold through the school's online uniform store and individual item prices are published in Euros. Example published prices (EUR) from the uniform store include: EUR 92.76 for an anorak; EUR 59.14 for a knit jacket; EUR 33.55 for a sports jacket; EUR 30.20 for a long‑sleeve polo; EUR 26.74 for a short‑sleeve polo; smaller items such as socks are listed (e.g., EUR 6.92).

Refund information

- No publicly posted, itemised refund policy for tuition payments is available in the school's general admissions pages or in the published school bulletin accessible for 2025–2026. The uniform store includes a returns/devoluciones section in its site navigation, but the detailed returns/refund content was not accessible at the time of review. Refund terms for tuition, deposits or other school fees therefore are not publicly listed.

Fee payment options

- Uniform purchases are offered through the school's online store and display item prices in Euros; the online store interface indicates standard e‑commerce payment handling (online payment at checkout), though the school's public pages do not publish a separate, universal list of accepted payment methods specifically for tuition invoices. No public, itemised list of accepted payment channels for school tuition (for example explicit confirmation of bank transfer, direct debit, credit card for tuition) is posted in the admissions or billing information that is publicly available.

Summary of findings and gaps

- Published, numeric amounts for application fees, annual or per‑term tuition by year group, billing instalment schedules, and tuition refund rules are not present in the school's publicly available admissions pages or the school bulletin for the 2025–2026 cycle. The school does publish prices for uniform items and details of services such as the lunch program and bus routes, but specific charges for tuition, transport or cafeteria are not listed publicly.
