When a student has received study permit approval, no refund of fees paid will be granted. When a student is unable to obtain a valid student visa/study permit, a refund is provided less a CAD 350 administrative fee, the application fee, and the notarized custodianship declaration fee (subject to return of original documents and the official rejection letter). Specific refund and withdrawal timing rules (including the 3‑month rule, 50% rule, and no‑refund after the admitted month begins) apply as described in the fee policy. Deposits and sundry account balances are refundable on graduation or leave less any deductions. Annual School Registration, Health Insurance, Application Fee, Notarized Custodianship Declaration, Uniform and Campus Life Program fees are non‑refundable.
Refund details (key points)

If withdrawal occurs after the start of the admitted month (or student is absent/expelled), no refund is provided and full tuition and accommodation fees remain payable. - Deposits and sundry balances are refundable on graduation or leave less deductions for damages or outstanding charges.
Accepted payment methods and payment instructions
- Accepted methods: Flywire (recommended for international payments), wire transfer, bank draft or cheque (payable to the school), Interac e‑Transfer, credit card (application fee only), and Alipay/WeChat Pay/UnionPay via SnapPay. A CAD 20 bank surcharge should be added for wire transfers. Receipts should be sent to the school accounts office with the student's name. The school provides bank details for direct wire transfer and partners with Flywire to facilitate international payments.
Enforcement and conditional charges
- Students who require additional courses beyond the initial payment or who choose to upgrade/retake a course must pay additional course tuition in advance. Where a student drops a course before the course drop deadline (with approval), the tuition is credited to a later semester rather than refunded; dropping after the deadline results in full tuition being charged for that course. International minor students are required to stay in accommodations arranged by the school for the duration of their studies; accommodation assignment priority is determined by the date accommodation fees are received.

Fee payment options and practical notes on how fees are paid
- Specialty-program bookings and store checkout pages use an online payment/checkout provider (checkout.square.site) for program purchases and bookings, indicating that credit‑card payments are accepted for those transactions.

Contact channels and the admissions email are listed by the school for payment arrangements.

Admissions
Step 1: Decide which program is right for you. Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), Advanced Placement (AP), English Support, and the Express Program are available. A good candidate for OSSD should have an average of 70–75% and applications are considered on a case‑by‑case basis. The AP program provides university‑level coursework opportunities, English Support offers customized ESL, and the Express Program allows six Grade 12 credits from December to June to earn the OSSD in seven months. Step 2: Decide which semester intake is right for you. Bronte accepts September, February and July intakes. Applications should be submitted at least 3 months before the start of the semester to allow time for student Visas, Study Permits, and arrival planning. Dormitory space for the September intake should be arranged by early March; homestay applicants should submit by mid‑July. Step 3: What Do I Need to Complete an Application? A completed online application form; the last 2.5 or 4 years of school transcripts (in English and, if applicable, in the original language); a copy of the student's passport and a passport‑size photo; an Application Fee of CAD 300. Applications will only be processed if the CAD 300 Application Fee accompanies the Application. Step 4: Fill Out Your Application Form. The link below will take you to our Application Form.
