We send an invoice in advance of the term start date, and you can pay by this date by internet banking or cheque if you prefer. Unpaid balances will be charged to your credit card on the first day of term. There is also an option to be invoiced for the full year with a 5% discount. Students may stop classes with two weeks advance notice to enable us to offer the space to another student and adjust accounts.  Tuition must be paid during the two week notice period.
