Enrollment Agreement Cancellation Policy

Enrollment Agreement 2021-2022 / 5782 Cancellation Policy 

The overwhelming majority of SPHDS’ expenses and obligations are incurred on an annual basis, financial commitments for our school’s services are made based upon anticipated enrollment, and the educational operating expenses of the school do not diminish with the departure of some students over the course of the school year.

For the 2021-2022 school year, the number of spots in each classroom is also limited due to COVID restrictions.

Due to these considerations, the school will not provide any refunds of tuition if a student is withdrawn either voluntarily or involuntarily after 5:00 pm on October 31, 2021. The school will provide partial refunds of tuition for voluntary or involuntary withdrawals that take place prior to 5:00 pm on October 31, 2021, as set forth below.

The tuition deposit is nonrefundable once it is paid in all circumstances, no matter when a child is withdrawn or the reason for the withdrawal.  If parents provide written notice of withdrawal to the school on or before 5:00 pm on June 30, 2021, parents will receive a refund of 100% of any prepaid tuition (exclusive of the tuition deposit), and will not be obligated to make the tuition and fee payments set forth in the Enrollment Agreement.

If parents provide written notice of withdrawal to the school on or before 5:00 pm on October 31, 2021, parents will be liable for 50% of the annual tuition for the 2021-2022 School Year (exclusive of the tuition deposit). Parents who have prepaid 100% of the annual tuition, will receive a 50% refund of tuition paid (exclusive of the tuition deposit).   

If parents withdraw a student after 5:00 pm on October 31, 2021, parents will not receive any refund of tuition paid and will be liable for the full amount of annual tuition.

Cancellation of the Enrollment Agreement must be given by the parents to the Admissions Director in writing and acknowledged by her.

Parents understand and agree that, in the event the School suspends, expels, or otherwise removes a Student for any reason, or if the Student is withdrawn voluntarily or involuntarily after 5:00 pm on October 31, 2021, Parents will remain obligated to pay the full amount of tuition and fees as liquidated damages, and the School will retain all tuition and fees paid by parents.
