Terms of payment

All registration and tuition fees (complete or by installments) must be included at the time of registration and before the start of lessons or courses. Students re-registering must have paid fees from previous year. Instruction will not begin until teachers have been notified by the school that the student file is complete and all fees have been paid.

Les leçons ne débuteront pas avant que l’enseignant ait été avisé par l’École que les paiements ont été reçus et que le dossier est en ordre.
