It is the responsibility of the parents to ensure the fees are paid promptly by the company or sponsor. Any difference between the payment by the company and agreed fees shall be the liability of the parents and must be paid before the due dates.
Overdue Fees
A student may not start the academic year unless the first term fee has been paid in full.
