Tuition fees by year group (monthly amounts and annual total = monthly × 12) - Infantil 1 and Infantil 2 (Early Years): BRL 6,725.00 per month — annual (monthly × 12): BRL 80,700.00. - Fundamental 1 (Lower Primary): BRL 10,090.00 per month — annual (monthly × 12): BRL 121,080.00. - Fundamental 2 (Upper Primary / Lower Secondary): BRL 10,090.00 per month — annual (monthly × 12): BRL 121,080.00.
Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is presented as a monthly fee (mensalidade). Specific billing schedule details — for example, number of installments per year, specific due dates, early‑payment discounts, interest/penalty rules or automatic-debit arrangements — are not published in the available public materials.
Boarding fees - Boarding is not applicable. Stance Dual operates as a day school (example: early‑years schedule shown as 08:00–16:00), so there are no boarding/room‑and‑board charges.
Other costs and recurring extras - Material fee / course materials: Some items (imported books, printed class packs, craft supplies) are charged separately or listed on the material lists; individual imported books or special items are indicated in school material lists and can range approximately BRL 30.00–BRL 50.00 per book/item where applied. - Uniform: Uniform requirements appear in the school's material/uniform lists for relevant year groups; costs for uniforms are additional to tuition and vary by item and supplier. - Extracurricular activities and after‑school programs: Some activities appear as complementary/optional services and may carry extra fees separate from the mensalidade. - International programmes / school trips: Participation in international programmes (examples include a 6th‑year Argentina program and longer 9th‑year programs abroad) involves additional program costs charged separately from tuition; actual trip fees depend on destination, duration and the services included.
Refunds and cancellation - No publicly available, detailed refund or cancellation policy was found in the available school materials. Any refund rules (for enrollment fees, tuition prepayments, withdrawal mid‑year, or trip cancellations) are therefore not included here because they are not published in the accessible sources.
Fee payment options - The school's published materials and public profiles list fees and material requirements but do not publish a comprehensive list of accepted payment methods (for example, bank transfer, boleto bancário, credit card, direct debit) or third‑party financing options; those details are not available in the public materials reviewed.
Notes on published coverage and gaps - The items above list the school's published headline figures for enrollment and mensalidades and the typical additional cost categories that are indicated in school materials. Specific operational details that families commonly need for billing (exact installment counts, invoice/due‑date schedule, accepted payment methods, formal refund/cancellation terms, and fine/late‑payment rules) were not published in the publicly available documents reviewed and therefore are not included here.
