Fees
Application / enrollment fees

- The school charges an enrollment/registration (inscripción/matrícula) fee at the time of admission and for annual re‑enrollment. The institution's scholarship regulations explicitly reference reductions or exonerations of the inscripción, confirming that an inscripción fee is part of the fee structure.

Tuition (colegiaturas) — structure by year group and terms

- Tuition is billed as a colegiatura and is organized by educational level (Pre‑kinder / Preprimaria, Primaria, Secundaria / Bachillerato). Fees vary by grade and by program; the school sets distinct colegiatura amounts by year group.

- Tuition may be offered on multiple billing options (annual, semester, or instalment/payment‑plan bases) and is administered through the school's parent billing portal. Specific amounts per term or per academic year for each grade are determined by the school and provided through the school's billing system.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school follows an academic calendar that runs January–October; invoicing and the precise payment calendar (payment due dates, number of instalments, deadlines for early‑payment discounts) are set by the administration and communicated via the parent billing portal.

- The school uses a tuition management platform (FACTS) for family accounts and payment plans; that platform supports scheduled instalments and automated billing. FACTS also supports common payment arrangements such as monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual plans as configured by the school.

Boarding fees

- The institution operates as a day school (school hours and dismissal times are published for Preprimaria, Primaria and Secundaria); the school does not operate boarding facilities, therefore there are no boarding fees.

Other costs and recurring extra charges

- Uniforms: A daily uniform (and a separate physical‑education uniform) is required for applicable levels; uniform components are specified by the school and are purchased separately. Uniform costs are additional to colegiaturas.

- Transportation: The school operates student bus services (arrival and bus departure times appear in published schedules). Transportation is treated as a separate service and typically incurs an extra fee.

- Extracurricular activities, specialized courses, examination fees, school trips and certain materials or platform access may carry additional monthly or one‑time charges; these are billed separately from colegiatura through the school's billing system.

Scholarships and reductions

- The school's scholarship regulations define multiple types of support, including full or partial exoneration of inscripción and colegiatura (examples: full exoneration of inscripción, full or partial exoneration of colegiatura, or percentage discounts). Scholarship awards are conditional and tied to academic, financial and administrative requirements.

Refunds and cancellations

- Scholarship rules and solvency conditions indicate that maintenance of payments is required to keep financial aid in force. Refunds and the school's cancellation policy for inscripción and colegiatura (including whether deposits or inscripción fees are refundable) are handled by the school's administrative policy and communicated to families through the admissions and billing offices. The scholarship regulation also ties eligibility to being solvent with payments at specified cut‑off dates.

Accepted payment methods and how payments are processed

- The school manages family billing and payments through a FACTS parent account/portal; FACTS supports multiple payment methods (credit/debit card, bank/ACH transfers and scheduled automatic payments) and configurable payment plans. Families use the FACTS portal for recurring tuition payments and for incidental charges posted to their account.

- Official school contact points for admissions and billing are provided by the institution for families to request the exact fee schedule, payment deadlines, and to set up payment plans. The school publishes direct contact information for admissions and the parent portal for account access.

Summary (what a parent should expect when budgeting)

- Expect an enrollment/inscripción charge at admission or at annual re‑enrollment plus a grade‑level tuition (colegiatura) charged under a schedule determined by the school; expect separate additional charges for uniform, transportation, extracurricular activities, materials and trips. Payments are handled through the FACTS parent billing portal with multiple payment‑method options and configurable instalment plans. Scholarship options exist that can fully or partially reduce inscripción and/or colegiatura, subject to administrative conditions.

- For the precise numeric amounts per term and per year group, the school's admissions or billing office provides the official fee schedule and the available payment plans for the 2026/2027 (or, if not yet issued, the 2025/2026) academic cycle. Contact: admisiones@viena.edu.gt | +502 2309 1900.
Academics

Colegio Viena Guatemalteco teaches Bespoke Curriculum.

Curriculum
The school offers a bilingual and bicultural program in Spanish and English. English instruction follows the standards of the Common European Framework, and the programs used at the different levels develop the competencies needed to master a foreign language. The curriculum covers Preprimaria, Primaria, Básico and Diversificado, with a focus on project-based learning, critical thinking and collaborative learning. All subjects, theoretical and practical, at Preprimaria, Primaria, Básico and Diversificado are aligned with the Currículo Nacional Base under the Educational Reform. The school provides athletic development and artistic activities (marimba, choir, orchestra, Andean group; painting and drawing) as part of a holistic education.

Exam Results
All subjects, theoretical and practical, are passed with a minimum of 60 points. There is an Evaluation Commission at each level to review non-standard cases. Evaluations include diagnostic, formative, summative, and extraordinary assessments, using observations, productions and oral and written tests. The final promotion grade from Primaria through 4th Bachillerato is the sum of two semester grades (50% each); in 5th Bachillerato the first semester accounts for 60% and the second for 40%.

Higher Education Progression
Graduates of bachillerato have demonstrated competitiveness in university admission tests at different universities; several have obtained scholarships and graduated with honors.

Admissions

Admissions
1) Submit the online application form. The school provides an online application form labeled Formulario solicitud de inscripción on the Admisiones page, and the form is hosted via Google Forms. After submission, families begin their place in the admissions workflow. Communications related to admissions can be accessed through the Parents Portal (FACTS), and the Admissions team can be reached at +502 2309 1900 or admisiones@viena.edu.gt.

2) Undergo the observation period. The observation period is the central element of the admissions process, used to assess readiness across the child's developmental areas. The Psicopedagógico Department conducts the observation, including for Preprimaria, to determine suitability and to allocate available seats. This period helps the school gauge the candidate's developmental level before confirming admission. Status updates and next steps are typically communicated through the admissions workflow and associated contact channels.

3) Receive next steps and seating decisions. Following the observation and review, seats are allocated based on availability and the candidate's observed readiness. Families receive information about next steps through the admissions process, with ongoing communications accessible via the FACTS parent portal and the admissions team for follow-up. The school's main contact points are the phone line +502 2309 1900 and the email admisiones@viena.edu.gt.

Scholarships
1) Nature and eligibility. The Foundation Cultural Austriaco Guatemalteco offers scholarships to high-performing students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, functioning at Instituto Austriaco Guatemalteco and Colegio Viena Guatemalteco, for students from Kindergarten Avanzado through Quinto Bachillerato.

2) Objectives. The program aims to fulfill the foundation's social outreach, provide financial support to students with strong academic records, assist families striving to provide a good education, and promote satisfactory educational trajectories in collaboration with parents.

3) Regime and organization. A dedicated Scholarships Commission reviews cases, with input from the Psicopedagógico Department and the faculty; the commission coordinates with the schools' administrative and teaching teams.

4) Classification and coverage. There are multiple scholarship types: Type A (exemption of enrollment and tuition), Type B (exemption of tuition), Type C (tuition exemption of 75%, 50%, 25% or less as decided by the Commission), Type F (temporary extemporaneous aid), and Type G (exemption of 5%, 8%, or 10% of enrollment).

5) Eligibility requirements. Applicants must pass all subjects from the first and second semesters of the applicable year with good conduct, come from a family facing economic hardship, and meet timing and documentation requirements (including being current on payments through July of the applicable year). The process may begin in the student's second year within the institution, and a formal application (digital and physical) must be submitted within set dates.

6) Documentation and submission. A detailed list of required documents includes the printed scholarship application form, evidence of current payments, report cards, parental income documentation, tax and debt certifications, bank statements, and a letter describing the reason for the scholarship request. In-person documentation is accepted on specified dates at the school, with a designated color folder per school.

7) Selection process and notifications. The Commission reviews academic and conduct records, requests any additional information as needed, and announces the results in November.

8) Scholarship conservation. Recipients must meet all requirements, maintain high academic performance, have positive conduct, keep payments up to date, attend required parent conferences, and understand that the scholarship is for a defined period with no automatic renewal. If circumstances arise, the Commission resolves whether to continue the scholarship.

9) Modifications and updates. The school reserves the right to propose or implement changes to the Scholarships Regulation, with any unaddressed aspects resolved by the Commission.

10) Instructive process for applying. Prospective applicants should read the Scholarship Regulation and the accompanying instructions, complete the Google Form for the scholarship, and expect a confirmation email showing their responses. Printed copies of these responses must be attached to the physical submission documents. Documents are to be delivered to the respective school offices in August on designated dates, using a color-coded folder per school.
