Fees and What They Mean

The figures above are annual tuition as published by each school, quoted in $ / CLP. Where a school publishes a range, the lower figure normally applies to the earliest year groups and the higher figure to the senior school. Application and registration fees, deposits, transport, uniform, meals, trips and external examination entries are commonly billed separately.

Curriculum Options

Across this comparison set the curricula on offer are IB (5 schools), British (3 schools), American (1 school).

Age Range and Year Group Considerations

The age ranges above show the full span each school covers. A school with a lower starting fee may still cost more overall if fees step up sharply at secondary level, so check the published fee for the year group your child will enter and the years after it.
