•    Written notice of intention to withdraw a student from the school is required to be submitted by the parents/guardians to the WMA Board of Directors and to the Head of School.

•    Once the registration fee of $750.00 has been processed and a child is enrolled at WMA, the family are expected to pay for (and the child to attend) through to the end of the school year the registration fee was paid for.

•    There will be no refunds of tuition paid. Any outstanding tuition for the school year is due immediately upon voluntary withdrawal whether before the school year has started, or if withdrawal occurs mid-year.

•    WMA and its Board of Directors make staffing and program decisions for each upcoming school year based on projected revenue and expenses based on the registrations that have been made. Commitments for salaries, leases and maintenance fees are made on an annual basis and the absence or withdrawal of a student does not reduce operating expenses. Therefore, most schools, out of necessity, must take the position that there can be neither a refund of fees paid nor cancellation of unpaid fee obligations.
