Early and Late Withdrawal Policy

Purpose

As a Christian school, we value commitment, integrity, and stewardship. When families enroll, the school makes financial and staffing commitments for the full academic year. This policy outlines the tuition obligations associated with early withdrawal or late withdrawal after a signed Tuition Agreement has been submitted. Before a Tuition Agreement is signed a student’s spot is able to be held with a $500 non-refundable deposit. 

Tuition Agreement:
A binding agreement between the parent/guardian and the Wesley School for one academic year.

Early Withdrawal:
Withdrawal occurring after signing the Tuition Agreement but before the first day of school.

Late Withdrawal:
Withdrawal occurring on or after the first day of school, regardless of attendance.

 

Early Withdrawal (Before First Day of School)

Once the Tuition Agreement is signed, the school immediately reserves a seat for the student and commits resources in anticipation of enrollment. Because of this commitment, the following tuition percentages apply:

• Withdrawal within 15 days of signing the contract:
  25% of annual tuition due.

• Withdrawal more than 15 days after signing but before June 1:
  50% of annual tuition due.

• Withdrawal on or after July 1, but before the first day of school:
  75% of annual tuition due.

These fees help ensure financial stability and responsible stewardship of school resources.

 

 

 

Late Withdrawal (After First Day of School)

Once the academic year begins, full staffing and operational commitments are in effect. For this reason:

• Withdrawal after the school year begins:
  100% of annual tuition due

Tuition is not prorated, and no refunds are issued for early departure unless a qualifying exception applies.

Non-Refundable Fees

The following payments are non-refundable under any circumstance, including withdrawal:

• Application fees

• Enrollment/registration fees

• Curriculum or material fees paid prior to withdrawal

• Technology or activity fees already incurred

Exceptions

The school may consider tuition relief or adjustment in rare and exceptional circumstances, such as:

• A family relocation of more than 50 miles due to employment

• Military reassignment

• Serious medical hardship affecting the student

All exceptions must be requested in writing and reviewed by the Head of School. Approval is not guaranteed.

Acknowledgment

By signing the Tuition Agreement, parents/guardians acknowledge they have read, understood, and agreed to the Early and Late Withdrawal Policy.
