Fees
Application fee / Admission form

- The admissions process requires payment of an admission form (application) to start the formal application. This payment is collected through the school's admissions platform. The amount for the application form is charged at the time of registration and the school states that the payment for the form is non‑refundable.



Tuition structure and terminology (how fees are calculated)

- The school defines “matrícula” (enrolment fee) as the advance payment made once a year when formalizing registration; this enrolment fee is equal to 10% of the annual tariff.
- The school defines “pensión” as the monthly fee charged for the student's right to participate in the educational programme (i.e., the monthly tuition component).
- The school sets an annual tariff per grade level and breaks that into the concepts of matrícula and monthly pension; the published documents describe the structure but do not publish specific numeric tuition rates on the public pages accessed.



Tuition fees by year group / per term detail

- Specific numeric tuition amounts (annual tariff, matrícula amount in COP, and monthly pension per grade) for the 2026/27 academic year are not published on the school's public admissions pages or publicly available institutional documents accessed. The school provides the detailed fee schedule through its admissions/financial platforms during the registration and enrolment process.



Billing schedule and payment terms

- Matrícula: charged once per year at enrolment and defined as equal to 10% of the annual tariff.
- Pensión (tuition): charged on a monthly basis as the recurring tuition payment. The school's admissions material explains the requirement to pay the admission form and refers families to the admissions platform for the formalisation and payment steps.
- The admissions information indicates policies for sibling discounts and for benefits tied to institutional agreements; specific billing dates, installment counts, and the full schedule are provided to families through the admissions/financial portal.



Boarding fees (if applicable)

- No boarding or residential programme and corresponding boarding fees are published in the school's public materials. The school presents itself as an urban school in Teusaquillo with day‑school facilities; no residential/boarding service or boarding fee schedule is listed on the public pages accessed.



Other costs and periodic charges

- The school lists on its institutional pages that it operates digital classrooms and uses devices such as iPads and also references on‑campus facilities and school shops. Specific prices for uniforms, textbooks, devices, school shop purchases, meals, transport, extracurricular activities, exam fees, insurance, or other ancillary services are not published on the public pages accessed.



Refund information

- Payment for the admission form (the purchase of the registration form) is explicitly stated as non‑refundable.
- No separate, publicly posted tuition‑refund policy for annual or monthly tuition payments was found on the public pages accessed; the school's formal refund and cancellation conditions for tuition and other fees are handled through the admissions / financial office and the institutional regulatory documents made available to enrolled families.



Fee payment options

- The school uses an online admissions/payment platform (Beam) for the admissions steps and form payment.
- The website shows use of online payment gateways (donation/payment links) that route through PSE and similar online payment processors.
- The admissions information instructs families to complete payments via the admissions platform; the school's financial office and admissions area provide the specific accepted payment methods (online platform, PSE/online banking, and institutionally authorised channels) during registration.



Brief summary of findings and limits to public data

- Publicly available materials for the Colegio Americano de Bogotá describe the fee structure (annual tariff, matrícula defined as 10% of the annual tariff, and monthly pensión) and list the admissions/payment process, including that the admission form payment is non‑refundable. However, specific numeric values (the annual tariff per grade, the numeric matrícula amount in COP, and the numeric monthly pension per grade or per term for the 2026/27 academic year) are not published on the public pages accessed; those numeric rates are provided to families through the school's admissions/financial platform and formal enrolment documentation.
