Refunds, cancellations and leaving the school
- From the moment the registration fee is paid, parents have a 15-calendar-day right to cancel the registration and receive a refund of amounts previously paid.

Cancellations made during the school year will trigger payment of the full annual amount for school materials and insurance, and fees for the whole term will remain due if cancellation occurs during a term.
