If you have been offered a place at the school and we have not received your fee by this date, you risk losing your place at the school and it being offered to another applicant.
The total fee of the School will be around 1300 CHF or 1500 USD (exact cost to be confirmed) per participant for accommodation in a twin room. Local students who do not need accommodation will be able to register without accommodation at a lower price of approximately 700 CHF or 850 USD (exact cost to be confirmed).
The fee covers:
- Tuition.
- Handouts and a welcome pack.
- Accommodation from arrival day Sunday 11 January until departure on Saturday 24th of January.
- All meals, including breakfast, lunches, dinners and coffee breaks; starting with the dinner on Sunday 11th of January, to the final meal of breakfast on Saturday 24 January.
- All organized social activities (excursions, sport, special dinners, etc.) of which details will be given at a later time.
The fee does NOT cover:
- Travel expenses from the participants' home location or working place to the school location in Chile and back.
- The cost of a visa when required.
- Any extra cost incurred during the stay (including private excursions, private expenses at the hotel and in the campus, private transport costs, private meals, etc.).
- Any cost incurred by a participant not following the official excursion or social programme (e.g. meal cost of a participant not attending an excursion which includes a meal).

The School will neither arrange accommodation nor will cover any cost associated to extended stay of the students in Santiago. Participants arriving before the start of the school will have to organize their extended stay themselves.
