Fees
Summary

La Devesa School Elche does not publish specific, itemised tuition amounts or an openly accessible fee schedule for the current academic year. The school publishes admissions and services information and operates an online uniform store, but per-year or per-term tuition figures, application-fee amounts, and standard billed amounts for services (bus, comedor, extracurriculars) are not provided in a publicly available fee table.

Application fees / Enrollment (Matrícula)

- The school uses an admissions process and formal matriculation (enrolment) procedure; however, no published numeric application or enrolment fee amount was found for the current academic year. The school describes the matriculation process and contact channels but does not list a fixed application fee in public materials.

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

- No publicly available tuition figures broken down by year group (Infantil / Primaria / ESO / Bachillerato), term, or per‑term instalment were located. There is no published per‑year or per‑term fee table accessible from the school's public materials. Parents should therefore treat specific amounts as not publicly listed.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school's public pages describe the admissions and services offered but do not publish a standard billing schedule (for example: number of instalments, due dates, or discounts for annual payment) or detailed payment terms for tuition. The uniform shop indicates purchases and school receipts are used for payment processing, but a definitive tuition billing timetable is not published.

Boarding fees

- Boarding/residential provision is not listed among the school's services; the school operates as a day school and does not publish boarding fees because no boarding service is provided.

Other costs and fees (items regularly charged in addition to tuition)

- Uniform: The school supplies a school uniform and operates an online uniform store where uniforms are sold. Uniform prices are handled via the school shop; a returns policy for garments is published (15 days to return/exchange). Prices on the uniform shop include VAT and orders are processed through the school's purchase/receipt system.

- Comedor (School dining): A dining-room service is offered; however, specific per‑meal or per‑term dining fees are not published on the school's public service pages.

- Bus / School transport: A school bus service is listed among offered services; specific route fees or monthly transport charges are not published on the public pages.

- Extracurricular activities and Holiday/Summer programmes: These services are listed as available; individual activity fees and schedules are not published as fixed prices on the school's general services pages.

- Learning resources / materials: The school lists learning resources and material provisions as a service; no fixed material-fee schedule was published.

Refund information

- Uniform returns: Garments bought through the school uniform store may be returned or exchanged within 15 days of delivery; not all returns/size changes are accepted without prior review by the centre's person in charge. Uniform prices include VAT and the shop confirms orders are accepted once purchase confirmation email is received. Payment for uniform orders is processed via the school receipt system.

- Tuition / service refunds: There is no published, itemised refund policy for tuition, bus, comedor, or extracurricular charges in the school's public materials. No documented refund schedule or formula (pro‑rata refunds, trimester rules, etc.) for tuition was located.

Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / other)

- Uniform shop: the online uniform store offers an online checkout and indicates orders are processed and paid through the school receipt system; specifics on accepted payment methods (credit card, direct debit, bank transfer) are not enumerated on the public store pages.

- Tuition and services: public pages do not list which payment channels are accepted for tuition or recurring fees (examples: monthly direct debit, bank transfer, credit card). There is no publicly posted list of accepted payment methods for tuition and other school services.

Brief summary of findings

- The school publishes admissions information, a 2025–2026 Boletín Informativo, and online details for services (uniform, comedor, bus, extraescolares), but specific numeric tuition amounts, application-fee amounts, billing schedules (number of instalments and due dates), and tuition refund rules are not published in accessible fee tables or documents in the public materials reviewed. The uniform shop does publish a 15‑day returns rule and states prices include VAT and that payments are processed via the school receipt system.

If you need the exact numeric figures for application fee, per‑year or per‑term tuition by year group, billing dates, or formal refund rules (tuition refunds, pro‑rata calculations), those amounts and the formal billing terms are not visible in the school's publicly posted materials for the current academic year and must be obtained from the school's admissions/finance office or the school's official fee schedule document.
