Payments by e‑Transfer are due by the 1st of each month. Tuition is typically allocated across the 10‑month school session unless an alternative schedule is specifically approved by Finance. A $50.00 surcharge applies to any dishonoured cheque; a 2% interest applies to late payments. Accounts in arrears may lead to interruption of student access until resolved.
- International students: the school publishes a two‑payment schedule for full‑year international tuition (examples: amounts due on or before Aug 15 and Jan 15 as listed per programme). Certain international‑specific fees (Application, Family Membership, International Student Fee and Yearly Student Charge) must be paid in full together with the first tuition installment before an official Letter of Acceptance is issued. Tuition deadlines for late enrolments may require payment in full by an earlier date (specified in the enrolment terms).

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not offered; there are no boarding fees. The school operates as a day micro‑school model and fees reflect day programmes and optional supervision services.

- Meals: students Grade 1 and up may participate in the lunch programme (external caterer) with payments made to the caterer; Monday pizza lunch options and other meal programmes are charged separately as published. The cost of uniforms is the family's responsibility. Additional optional activity fees (water polo, ski lessons/lift, out‑of‑school sport trips, end‑of‑year trips, transportation not tied to a unit of inquiry, and certain enrichment activities) may apply.

Refund and withdrawal terms
- Commitment: enrolment indicates commitment for the full academic year; staffing and other commitments are made for the full 10‑month period and parents/guardians are liable for the account balance from the date specified in the enrolment contract. Written notice of withdrawal is required (30 days).
- Voluntary withdrawal, expulsion for cause, or irreconcilable disagreement occurring before 11:59 pm on June 30: the school retains 25% of the total tuition fees and any other contracted services; any refund due will be processed on the date published in the admissions schedule. Written notice of withdrawal is mandatory to qualify for any refund.
- Withdrawal, expulsion or termination after 12:00 am on July 1: the school is entitled to the total tuition fees payable (no refund). The Board may, at its discretion, approve an installment plan or, in compassionate circumstances, reduce or eliminate the non‑refundable portion.

Fee payment options (accepted methods and penalties)
- Accepted payment methods stated in the school's fee policies: post‑dated cheques (dated the 1st of each month) or e‑Transfer to finance@acadecap.org using the password acadecapfees (e‑Transfer requires Finance approval in some cases). International payment schedules generally use two installments with specified due dates. No routine credit‑card payment option is listed in the published fee documents. A $50.00 fee is charged for any dishonoured cheque; 2% interest applies to late payments. Accounts in arrears may result in interruption of access to the school's programmes.
