Refund information

Fee payment options (methods)
- The school uses an online parent/admissions portal for inquiries and admin processes. The tuition page lists flexible installment options but does not publish specific accepted payment methods (for example: which card types, ACH/bank transfer, checks, or third‑party tuition processors are accepted). Those method details and any administrative payment fees are not publicly listed on the tuition, admissions, or parent FAQ pages.

Brief summary of findings and gaps
- Published and available: clear annual tuition figures for each grade band for 2026–2027, the fact that tuition covers books/materials/lunch/technology/field trips/transportation, availability of one/two/nine installment payment plans, and the 10% youngest‑sibling discount.
- Not published on public pages: a specific application fee amount (if any), any enrollment/registration deposit amount and its refundability, the full billing calendar (exact due dates) and administrative payment fees, specific per‑service pricing for extended‑day/enrichment items, a uniform fee schedule, and the school's formal refund/withdrawal policy. The school's online parent/admissions portals are used for billing and enrollment administration but these portals require account access for detailed billing items and schedules.
