Tuition and Fees
Registration Fee
For students who register in advance online, a US$30.00 registration fee plus a $3 processing fee is required. This $33 is in addition to the cost of tuition, it is not a deposit that will later be subtracted from tuition payments. The $33 is required to pay per person, after submitting your application form. We use Paypal for this payment.
Payment of the registration fee guarantees a space for you as an applicant and helps to cover the maintenance of the web page, promotion, brochures, mailings, phone calls and other general expenses. It also allows us to confirm your studies in advance and gives us time to pair you with the teacher and host family that we think will be the best match for you. This payment is only for the advanced registration fee; you will not be charged at all for tuition until you arrive here at the school. Students who choose not to register in advance may visit our office for registration; space is granted on an as-available basis.
Forms of Payment
Weekly tuition payments may be made upon arrival in the school, with cash in Quetzales or in notes of $50 or $100 in US Dollars. We also accept traveler's checks and credit card payments (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club International). With regard to credit card payments, an 8% surcharge is added to credit card payments due to the bank´s processing fee.
Payment is expected on your first day of classes of the each week. We also give you the opportunity each week to reserve your spot for the next coming week. To assure your spot for the next week, we require half of the next week's tuition on Wednesday of the current week. This payment is a credit toward your next week of study.
