2021 comes with major changes, including the transition in the school calendar from the national calendar to the Northern Hemisphere calendar.
What does this change mean for families?
Normally, with the calendar we have traditionally had, a family with a child in primary school would pay 11 months of tuition at a rate of 263,500 per month. For this first year of transition, however, the student will complete their school year in 10 months at a rate of 290,000 per month. What does this mean? It means that the student would not actually have any increase in tuition relative to the school year. 4th grade is 2021 equals the same tuition as 3rd grade in 2020.
For the second transition year, the school cycle will be 9 months, starting in November and ending in July. This means that in relation to the current school cycle, families will have a savings of 2 months of tuition. In relation to the calendar year, the unpaid month in 2022 would be in August. Therefore, families will continue paying 11 months in a year as they had before the transition in calendar.
As we see the savings the first year will be in time, in the second year it will be in time and money. In the end, the student will end up graduating 6 months earlier than with the traditional calendar! This also bolsters the opportunity to enter an international university. Conversely, if the student is interested in continuing studies at a national university they will have enough time upon completion of secondary school to continue preparation for life at university.

El martes 30 de agosto 2016, empezó el periodo de Matrículas para el año escolar 2017. Es importante notar que los estudiantes matriculados el año 2016 tienen prioridad de cupo para el año 2017. Sin embargo, esta prioridad se mantendrá solamente hasta el 2 de diciembre, momento en que solamente se asegura cupo con el pago de la matrícula. Si por cualquier razón no son capaces de cumplir con el pago para esta fecha, les rogamos que se acerquen lo antes posible para conversar con el Departamento de Finanzas de su situación.
Les recordamos que para hacer el pago de la matrícula deben elegir la opción de matrícula en el portal del Banco Nacional (no mensualidad) y digitar el número de estudiante. Las facturas correspondientes ya se encuentran cargadas en el sistema.
El martes 30 de agosto 2016, también comenzó el periodo de Evaluación de Becas para el año escolar 2017. Es importante notar que todos los estudiantes actualmente becados necesitan volver a llenar el formulario de becas y traer toda la documentación necesaria actualizada a la fecha ya que necesitan ser evaluados. Dependiendo de la evaluación, podrían tener cambios positivos o negativos en el monto de las mensualidades que pagan. La institución busca asegurar continuidad educativa siempre y cuando las familias demuestren la misma necesidad y compromiso a la institución. Los formularios tienen que estar antes del 4 de noviembre, la no entrega del formulario completo a esta fecha resultará en la anulación automática de la beca. Adjunto a este comunicado se encuentra el formulario de becas que podrán imprimir y rellenar. También se estará enviando una copia impresa con los estudiantes que actualmente reciben una beca.
Estamos haciendo varios cambios en el proceso de becas para continuar mejorando nuestro servicio para la comunidad. Nuestra meta es que los más necesitados sean los que reciban el beneficio tratando de minimizar el impacto financiero sobre la escuela. La justicia social es un valor fundamental de la incorporación de la escuela, y como institución sin fines de lucro tenemos un compromiso importante de apoyar a la comunidad dando oportunidades educativas.
Como siempre, estamos disponibles para contestar cualquier pregunta que tengan. Por favor comunicarse con nosotros al email finanzas@futuro–verde.org o pedir una cita previa para reunirse en persona.
Muchas gracias de antemano por su colaboración,
Departamento de Finanzas

On Tuesday, August 30th, we opened the enrollment for the 2017 school year. It is important to note that all students registered for 2016 have priority for continued enrollment for the 2017 school year. However, this priority will only be maintained until December 2nd. After this date, priority will be given to students whom have paid the enrollment fee. If, for whatever reason, you are unable to make your enrollment payment during this period of time, we ask that you come to talk with the Finance Department about your specific situation.
We would like to remind you that to make the enrollment payment you must select “matricula” in the Banco Nacional website (not “mensualidades”) and enter the student number. The invoices have already been added to our system.
Also, we have now opened the evaluation period for 2017 Scholarships. It is important to note that all current scholarship students need to fill out the scholarship form and bring it, along with all the required and up to date documentation, to be evaluated by the scholarship committee. Depending on the evaluation, students may experience a positive or negative change upon the monthly fee that they are currently paying. Our institution strives to ensure educational continuity as long as families are able to demonstrate the same necessities and commitment to the institution. All scholarship forms must be turned in by November 4th. If the form has not been turned in by this date, the scholarship will be automatically cancelled for the coming school year. Attached you will find the scholarship form which you can print and fill out. We will also be sending a printed copy with all students whom currently receive a scholarship with us.
We are making a lot of changes to our scholarship process in order to continue to improve our service to the community. Our goal is to make sure that our scholarship program is benefiting the most in need, while also trying to lower the financial burden on the school. Social justice was a fundamental value during the incorporation of the school and, as a non-profit institution, we have an important commitment to continue to support the community by providing educational opportunities.
As always, we are available to answer any questions that you may have. Please contact us through our email finanzas@futuro–verde.org or ask for an appointment to meet in person.
Thank you, in advance, for your collaboration,
The Finance Department
