Deposit Fee and Tuition for Re-enrolled Students

The school calls for re-enrollment in early March. Parents are asked to please respond to the re- enrollment call as per the prescribed schedule. A non-refundable deposit of 40,000 RMB will be billed to the parents or the designated payer once the Admissions Office receives confirmed re- enrollment decisions. This deposit payment must be made on or before April 23rd to RESERVE the child’s class placement for the new school year. Failure to receive the deposit payment by the due date may result in the child being placed on a waitlist.

The total amount of the deposit payment will be credited toward the child's tuition fees for the upcoming academic year. The remaining balance of the tuition fees will be billed in May and will be due on or before June 5th prior to the new school year.
