Fees
School fees for Kindergarten and Elementary include a nourishing morning snack and a daily plant-based lunch, prepared with care and intention. 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, so children are fully supported in their learning without additional costs.
Our fees are designed to provide families with clarity and peace of mind, reflecting the breadth and depth of the Marinela experience.

- A deposit equal to half of one term's standard tuition for the programme is required upon acceptance of a place for full-year enrolments. Short-term families are not required to pay this deposit. The deposit may be applied towards the last term's tuition at the school's discretion. The deposit continues to roll forward each year the child remains with the school.
Applies to Kindergarten and Elementary.
- Families enrolling for less than the full academic year (3 terms) may do so, whether for one term or two. Term tuition is charged at one third of the annual fee of the programme the child is enrolled in, plus a one-time short-term enrolment fee of USD 2,500. This applies to both International and Barbadian families. The one-time registration fee still applies, but short-term families are not required to pay the standard acceptance deposit.
- Families with more than one child enrolled at Marinela automatically receive a 10% reduction. One child is charged at the full rate and each additional child receives the reduction.
