Admission Procedure
The Application Fee should be paid at the time when the Application
Form is lodged with the school office. If
a place is offered to a child, this place should be secured
by the payment of the SECURITY DEPOSIT before the end of the
preceding term, or by the date specified on the invoice. If
places are not secured within this time, they may be offered
to other families on the waiting list. The SECURITY DEPOSIT
is fully refundable (without interest) provided the school
is given half a semester's notice before the withdrawal of
a child
Payment Schedule
The Tuition Fee becomes due on the first day of the term and
should be paid in full within 30 calendar days of the first
day of school (or the due date on the invoice).
Enrollment
During the Middle of a School Year
A minimum tuition fee of one half semester is paid per child,
irrespective of her/his date of admission and duration of
stay at school.
If a child is enrolled in the school at any time during the
first (or third) quarter, parents will be required to pay
for the full semester.
Regardless of the date of admission, the full security deposit
should be paid per child
Overdue Fees
If fees are not paid on time, a 1.5% monthly interest will
be levied. This finance charge is calculated every month on
the outstanding school fees due for the current semester,
including any arrears; any portion of a month will be billed
as an entire month.
Security Deposit
Security Deposits are refunded (without interest) provided
the school receives written notice two months prior to the
child's departure from the school, the date of this departure
is deemed to be the last day of school in a 'quarter'. If
a child leaves part way through a semester they are liable
for the fees for the whole half semester in which they were
deemed to have attended.
Retainer Fee
A Retainer fee is to be paid if parents wish to retain a place
at school for their child (for example in case of home leave).
A place at school can only be guaranteed if the school receives
the Retainer Fee at least 2 months before the new semester
starts.
Discounts
Parents who are not working for an Embassy, International
Organisation or Company may apply for standard Discount. In
the case where a company pays a significant percentage of
the fees (ie. over 50%) this discount will not be awarded.
To obtain the standard discount the principal fee-payer needs
to write an application to the Board of Governors explaining
the reason for their incapability to pay the Standard Fee.
The primary payee should sign such letters. If this is the
parent, the parent should apply, if this is an organisation,
then the organisation should apply. The Board will review
all applications.
The Standard Discount awarded is 20% off the Standard Fee
NB. Parents who are employed by embassies, consulting agencies
and major business companies need not apply, unless sufficient
proof of incapability is provided.
Refunds
Refunds are granted only after the school receives a written
notice prior to the withdrawal of the child. It is in the
interest of the parent(s) to ensure that such letter is sent
at least two months before the date of withdrawal, if the
time of leaving is the end of a term then it should be two
months before the end of the term. If this does not happen,
the school will withhold fees for the subsequent school term
(half semester) to be deducted from the security deposit.
If notice of withdrawal is given, and the child finishes in
the middle of a half semester, then the fees for the whole
half semester are still due.
