Non-payment
Failure to pay tuition fees or other required fees may result in a loss of the student’s place in the school, withholding of their school reports, references and/or examination results as well as suspension or expulsion from school.
Refunds
In the cases of both existing and new students, the registration and re-registration deposit will not be refunded unless there are extenuating circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to relocation to another country/Emirate or any other unforeseen circumstances.
In the case of refund, the school fees will be calculated as follows:
Tuition fees paid prior to the beginning of the academic year are refundable and only the registration / re-registration fees will be deducted.
If the student was enrolled in the school for two weeks or less, a month’s fees will be deducted.
If the student was enrolled in the school for a period ranging between two weeks and one month, two months fees will be deducted.
If the student was enrolled in the school for more than a month, the full terms fees will be deducted.
The refund will be calculated from the start of the term and the date of the official request by the parent stating the intent of withdrawal and not from the date when the student was absent. Being on the school register counts as days in school.
If paid with credit card or online, monies will be refunded back to the credit card. Cash payments will be refunded by cheque.
Student Withdrawals
All students withdrawing from the school must submit notification of their withdrawal in writing to the registrar’s office. A 30 day notification period is required.
