Payment Options(Required)

III. We, the undersigned, understand that the obligation to pay the Total Annual Tuition for the full academic year is unconditional. We also understand that the School, in reserving a place for this Student, is relying upon our promise to pay the tuition as it budgets the school year for all the students and no portion of the tuition paid or due will be refunded or canceled notwithstanding the subsequent absence, withdrawal, or dismissal from the school. We further understand that the School has the right to withhold transcripts and records, disallow the Student to continue to attend classes, cancel parent/teacher conferences, take any examination or participate in any extracurricular activities unless or until tuition and other charges are paid to date. We understand that a LATE FEE of $35.00 per month will be applied to all payments thirty (30) days after the due date.


IV. The School believes that a positive and constructive working relationship between the school and the Student’s parent(s) is essential to the fulfillment of the School’s mission. Therefore, the School reserves the right not to continue enrollment or not to re-enroll the Student if the school concludes that the actions of a parent(s) or guardian(s) (whether such parent or guardian is a party to this Enrollment Agreement, or not) make such a positive or constructive relationship impossible or seriously interfere with the School’s accomplishment of its educational purposes. If a parent or guardian behaves in a hostile manner towards any staff or engages in behavior that undermines the teacher-student relationship, they will be notified by the School that they are on probation with reference to this clause. Should the difficulty in forging a positive and constructive relationship between school and home continue, this clause will be immediately invoked, and the decision of the School in these regards shall be final. There will be no refund of Total Annual Tuition, or any portion thereof, where such enforced withdrawal occurs and any unpaid balance is payable in full at the time of the decision.

By initialing here the undersigned acknowledge that a positive and constructive working relationship between the school and the Student’s parent(s) is essential to the fulfillment of the School’s mission as explained in paragraph IV.

V. The School reserves the right to remove a Student at any time if the Student’s effort, progress, conduct or influence on campus are not keeping in with the School’s standards. Those standards are set forth in the Mission Statement and Philosophy of the School contained in the Family Handbook, which the undersigned agrees to follow. There will be no refund of Total Annual Tuition or any portion thereof where such enforced withdrawal occurs and any unpaid balance of Total Annual Tuition and/or Incidental Charges is payable in full at time of withdrawal.


VI. Unless terminated earlier by the School in accordance with the terms of this Enrollment Agreement, the term of this Enrollment Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date, as defined below, and shall expire upon the Student’s graduation or upon the Student leaving the school. Successful completion of the current Academic Year, however, is required for re-enrollment of the Student for the next Academic Year.


VII. The Non-Refundable Registration Fee of 10% of the Total Annual Tuition for the renewed upcoming school year is due upon signature of this contract. If the deposit is not paid, but an Enrollment Agreement is submitted to the business office of the School nonetheless, then there will be a late charge of $35.00 for each month or part ofthe month the payment is not received. In addition, failure to pay the deposit timely may jeopardize enrollment for the Student for the upcoming school year.
