Fees
Application fees
- The school does not publish a public, itemized application fee schedule on its publicly accessible admissions pages or PDF resources.

Tuition fees (by year group and term)
- The American School of Tegucigalpa does not publish a detailed, grade-by-grade tuition table or per-term breakdown on its publicly available admissions pages or in the school handbooks and PDF library. As a result, exact per-grade and per-term amounts for the 2026/27 academic year (or 2025/26 if 2026/27 is not yet published) are not listed publicly.
- A reputable international-school directory lists an annual day fee of USD 10,680 for the school; this figure is presented by the directory as a single annual day-fee amount rather than a grade-by-grade schedule and should be treated as an external listing rather than an internal school-published schedule.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school's publicly available materials (admissions page and student/parent handbooks) do not contain a published, itemized billing schedule (for example: annual, semester, or monthly installment due dates) or a detailed public statement of late‑payment penalties and discounts. The handbooks do state that students must have tuition payments up to date to remain eligible for certain activities and travel.

Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding fees are not applicable: the school is a day school and has no boarding facilities. The International Baccalaureate school listing for the American School of Tegucigalpa explicitly shows "Boarding facilities: NONE."

Other costs and typical additional fees
- Uniforms: Official school uniforms are required and may be purchased at the school supply/store; uniform items and P.E. kit requirements are specified in the student‑parent handbook. Costs for uniforms are not published in the handbook.
- IB program costs: The school's student/parent handbook notes that there is an annual IB registration fee and an additional fee for each IB course; it also specifies that if a student fails to submit or attend an IB external exam, the student will be required to reimburse the school (the handbook cites a typical reimbursement of USD 100 per course in the example language). Specific per-course IB fees and the registration amount are not published in the handbook.
- Activities, trips and athletics: The school's travel and athletic policies state that activities involving travel, hotels, club fees, tournament costs, insurance for travel, and other trip-related expenses are charged separately to families. Participation in such trips requires tuition payments to be current. Specific amounts for activity or travel charges are not published in the school's public PDFs.
- Incidentals and damages: The handbooks indicate that families may be charged for damage to school property (for example, locker damage) and that some in‑school services (e.g., lost/damaged textbooks, replacement uniforms) may incur charges; specific price lists are not published.
- Cafeteria / meals: The school operates a dining hall and an online store for meals and supplies; meal plan pricing is not published in the publicly available cafeteria/menu pages.

Refund information
- No public, itemized refund policy or schedule (for withdrawals, early departure, withdrawal before the start of term, or unused tuition) is published on the school's publicly available admissions pages or in the student/parent handbooks available in the public PDF library. The handbooks do refer to reimbursement obligations in specific program contexts (for example, reimbursing IB exam costs if a student does not sit an exam).

Fee payment options
- The school's public admissions pages and handbooks do not list a published, comprehensive set of accepted payment methods (for example: which card networks, bank transfer instructions, third‑party payment providers). The school's public materials do, however, reference administrative/accounting processes in student and travel policies (for example, that tuition must be up to date for participation). Specific accepted payment methods and banking details are not published in the handbooks or admissions pages available publicly.

Summary of availability of amounts and next step note
- Exact fee amounts by application, grade/year group, and term for the 2026/27 academic year are not published on the school's public admissions pages or in the publicly posted school PDFs; an external school-directory listing provides an annual day-fee figure of USD 10,680 but the school itself does not post a full public fee schedule. Where the school's handbooks do include chargeable items (uniforms, IB course/exam costs, travel/athletic charges, and damage/incident charges), specific price points are not listed in those public documents.
