The initial registration fee must be paid within 15 days of invoicing; the re-enrolment fee must be paid before May 19.
- Late payment: if full tuition is not paid 20 calendar days after the child's initially scheduled arrival and no payment plan exists, or if a scheduled payment is not honoured within 20 days of its due date, a penalty of 3% per year on the outstanding amount will be charged, calculated pro rata by days late. Non-payment may lead to student removal and legal action; unpaid balances at the end of June may prevent re-enrolment for the following year.
