For All Students

If your child is withdrawn from the Academy before June 1, you will be released from the terms of your enrollment contract. All previously paid deposits will be refunded at 50% of the original fee, except the application fee, which is non-refundable.

If your child is withdrawn from the Academy after June 1 but before August 1, you will be obligated for 50% of the total cost of tuition for the entire year. All previously paid deposits are non-refundable.

If your child is withdrawn from the Academy after August 1, the full year’s tuition is due in full immediately upon withdrawal. All previously paid deposits are non-refundable.

In all of the above cases, a formal letter of withdrawal must be submitted to the school by the dates indicated above. Verbal requests for withdrawal will not be accepted.

If tuition and/or fees have not been paid, or a signed commitment (enrollment contract) has not been received by August 1st, your child will not be permitted to attend school.

For withdrawals during the school year:

A formal letter of withdrawal is required for all students who may leave the school during the year. If your child is withdrawn from the Academy at any time during the school year, you will be obligated for the balance due on the full year’s tuition. All previously paid deposits are non-refundable. You will also be obligated to pay any outstanding fees including those for lost/missing library and text books, Homework Club, lunch, commitments to Friday night bingo, and the annual school raffle. School transcripts will not be released until all financial obligations are met.
