Fees
School fees are inclusive of a nourishing morning snack for all children and a daily vegetarian lunch, prepared with care and intention, for all full-day programmes. Fees also cover a wide range of learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom, including time spent outdoors across our campus and participation in meaningful activities that support each child’s development.
All essential school supplies and materials are included, including those used in creative arts, handwork and practical subjects, ensuring children are fully supported in their learning without the need for additional costs.
Our fees are designed to provide families with clarity and peace of mind, reflecting the breadth and depth of the Marinela experience.

Acceptance Deposit Policy:
A deposit of half of one term's fees is required upon acceptance of a place. This deposit may be applied to the last term's tuition in accordance with the outlined terms. Different terms apply to short-term enrolments, see below.
- Families enrolling for less than the full academic year (3 terms) may do so. Term tuition is charged at one third of the annual fee of the programme the child is enrolled in, plus an additional USD 2,500 per term. This applies to all programmes and to both International and Barbadian families.
- An acceptance deposit equal to half of the standard term tuition fee is required to secure the Student's place. The deposit is credited toward the tuition for the final contracted term. For students enrolled for a single term, the deposit will be applied toward that term's tuition and is not an additional charge.
- Families with more than one child enrolled at Marinela receive a 10% reduction on tuition for the second and each subsequent child. The reduction is applied to the younger child's fees. It applies to tuition only, not to the one-time registration fee or optional extras, and can be combined with the 2% discount for paying annually in advance.
- Early Drop-off is available from 7:30am for an additional fee of USD 550 per term.
- We require one full term’s notice in writing to withdraw your child from Marinela.
- If less than one term’s notice is given, a full term’s fee will still be charged.
- To withdraw your child, please contact the team via email: info@marinelaeducation.com and we will be in touch to confirm receipt.
