Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is billed as term fees. Term fees are non-refundable and may be changed before the start of a term; parents/guardians remain responsible for term fees until a child is officially withdrawn. Late payments attract a surcharge, and non-payment at the end of the third month may result in termination of the student's enrolment at the end of that term.
