Tuition Liability
The withdrawal or dismissal of a student has a significant impact on the school community. It is difficult to anticipate all the repercussions, intangibles, and financial consequences that may arise. For these reasons, as outlined in the Enrollment Agreement, parents agree in advance to the payment, or forfeiture, of a specified sum if the terms of this contract are not fulfilled.
If a student fails to begin or complete the contract term for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to voluntary withdrawal, dismissal, or account delinquency, parents are liable according to the following schedule:
Before June 1, 2026
Parents forfeit the enrollment deposit in full.
June 1, 2026 to March 1, 2027
Parents forfeit the enrollment deposit in full.
In addition, parents are liable for 15% of the Total Annual Tuition identified in the Enrollment Agreement.
After March 1, 2027
Parents are liable for the entire remaining balance of the Total Annual Tuition identified in the Enrollment Agreement.
In this case, the school will apply the parents' enrollment deposit to the balance owing at the time of withdrawal.
This policy is in place to ensure that the school can effectively plan for staffing and resources, thus maintaining the quality of education provided to all students.
