Withdrawal policy

Please be aware of the following points before committing to Mia. Parents should fully understand the financial obligation involved.

Purpose of Policy

Mia Montessori Academy works hard to maintain tuition fees at a balanced rate in an effort to serve the needs of our diverse community while not compromising on the quality of education. Commitments for salaries, leases and maintenance fees are on an annual basis and the absence or withdrawal of a student does not reduce these operating expenses. Mia Montessori Academy Society is a non-profit society and will take the necessary legal steps to recover any losses incurred by non-payment of any fees owed. Mia makes staffing and program decisions for each upcoming school year based on projected revenue and expenses based on the enrolments that have been made. The Heads of School and Board will take the necessary steps to recover any losses occurred by non-payment of fees owed.
