Introduction

Academia Internacional Boquete is a bilingual, STEAM‑focused school in Panama serving preschool through secondary. The Bespoke Curriculum blends Spanish and English instruction with an emphasis on science, technology, entrepreneurship, and leadership. In the grades, students can pursue a Bachiller en Ciencias (Science Bachiller) while benefiting from Biology and Chemistry laboratories and a Technology Laboratory designed for hands‑on inquiry. The Boquete campus combines two buildings in a natural setting, featuring bioclimatic architecture, rainwater harvesting, recycled materials, and 24‑hour security. Academically and culturally, the school supports multilingual communication within a community. Extracurriculars include Arts and Creative offerings (art across all levels, theatre for primary and secondary, a band program, and chess) and Social and Hobbies activities (debate, sports). A strength is leadership development through Grupo Academia Internacional, which forms bilingual leaders from age 4 and emphasizes values, innovation, and environmental respect. The program encourages community engagement and preparing students to contribute globally.

*Billing schedule and payment terms*
- The school charges the annual tuition as a single annual amount that is customarily divided for parents into ten (10) equal monthly installments. Installments are payable during the first five (5) days of each month.
- Late payment: a surcharge may be applied for late payments up to a maximum of 10% of the overdue monthly installment or registration fee. Notices are issued after 30 and 45 days of arrears; continued nonpayment may lead to suspension of educational services.
- The registration (matrícula) is a fixed, non‑refundable payment and is paid at the time of enrollment. The registration covers a set of specific items (see next section).

*Boarding / accommodation*
- The school operates as a day school; no boarding program or boarding fees are published for the Boquete campus. Daily schedule and campus descriptions reflect day‑school operation.

*Other costs and what the registration fee covers*
- Items included in the registration package (charged at enrollment) include: registration itself, accident insurance, laboratory/informatics fee, maintenance and stationery, didactic materials, audiovisual charges, psychological testing (where required), and a parents' association fee. These components form the standard enrollment charge.
- Uniform: the school requires use of the school uniform and enforces uniform rules; uniform cost is not itemized in published materials.
- Transport (school bus), extracurricular activity fees, exam fees beyond standard testing, and specific textbook or supply costs are not published as fixed amounts in the publicly available materials; these items may be charged separately when applicable. The school's rules reference conduct on school transport but do not publish a fixed transport fee.

*Refund and withdrawal policy*
- Registration fee: non‑refundable under any circumstance.
- If a student is withdrawn before the end of the school year, any annual tuition that was paid in advance will be prorated and refunded for the unused portion. However, the guardian must cover the full tuition cost for the trimester in which the student is withdrawn. Academic records or accreditation documents are withheld until outstanding balances are settled.

*Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / other methods)*
- Published school materials and the school's admissions documentation do not list specific accepted payment instruments (for example, a published list of credit cards, online payment processors, or bank account details). Parents are expected to use the school's established channels for payment; formal payment method details are managed by the school finance office. No explicit public listing of acceptance of credit cards, bank transfers, or other methods was found in the school admissions pages or in the institution's internal rules.

*Notes for parents (practical summary)*
- Expect two separate charges at enrollment: the registration package (one‑time, non‑refundable) and the annual tuition. The annual tuition is commonly paid as 10 monthly installments, due within the first five days of each month. If payments become overdue, expect written notices, possible late surcharges (up to 10%), and possible suspension of services after prolonged arrears. Uniforms and some consumable materials are required but their cost is not listed as a fixed school charge. The school does not publish boarding fees because the Boquete campus operates as a day school.
