Caracas - School Report Question and Answers
Are there academic requirements such as trips or other activities that cost money in addition to school fees?
YES! THE ADDITIONAL COST OF ATTENDING THIS SCHOOL IS SIGNIFICANT. If your child participates in sports, you will pay for away trips. There are also trips in the fall and spring that are expensive. It seems that nearly everything that happens at the school costs additional money - so the $26,000 (with an additional $15,000 capital fee the first year) only covers basic school and transportation. Everything else is an additional cost to you. I don't know if other expats can have these expenses covered by their employer, but some families are stuck with either paying the additional fees out of pocket or forcing their children to miss participating in part of the curriculum that is included in some of the away trips. - Jul 2013
