If the annual tuition for a student has been paid and the student withdraws before the second semester, the head of school has the discretion to refund up to 50% of the amount of the annual tuition payment.

In the event of force majeure that causes a student to withdraw from the school, tuition and fees already paid for the school year will not be refunded.
