Payment method / fee payment options

Refunds / withdrawals / cancellations
- Withdrawal rules and refunds: the school's published pages note that withdrawals from contracted services (transport, food, activities) are subject to rules — in many cases a withdrawal will not reduce billing for the contracted period unless justified (activities often require formal notice and only medical justification permits retreat and adjustment); if families withdraw and later re‑enter services mid‑year, a higher tariff may apply. The registration fee and contracted monthly tuition are treated as annual/semester commitments under the school's billing rules.
