Commitment and reservation fees are non‑refundable.
- An early payment discount of 1.5% on tuition fees is available when invoices are fully settled within the specified early‑payment window (proof of payment must be received within the discount period). This discount is not available for invoices issued after the start of term.
- Invoices must be paid by the deadline shown on each invoice. Failure to pay by the deadline may lead to the school withholding attendance, requiring future years' fees to be paid up front, or reallocating the student's place to another applicant.

Withdrawal and refund rules
- Commitment fees and reservation fees are non‑refundable.
- A full refund of tuition (100%) excluding the commitment and reservation fees is given if the withdrawal date is prior to the term invoice payment deadline.

Students enrolling after the start of a term are charged full term fees except in the case of mid‑term starts where half term tuition may apply per the school policy.
