School fees

Tesoro Montessori School is a day school. In the kindergarten, both half-day and full-day programs are available. In the primary school, we offer full-day instruction. Children in kindergarten and primary school have Wednesday and Friday afternoons off, with optional childcare available. The school fees are transparent and straightforward. They consist of a fixed amount per child, which can be booked in kindergarten (ages 3-6) as a half-day with or without lunch, or a full day with or without lunch. In the primary school (ages 6-12), full-day programs can be booked with or without lunch. School fees can be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, one month in advance.
