When fees are due, payment plans & the administrative fee:

All fees (tuition, lunch, activities etc.) are due in full at the beginning of each school term. The bursar must receive full payment or proof of payment by the first Friday of the term. All parents must complete the payment form emailed with invoices termly, whether making payment in full at the beginning of the term or applying for a payment plan. All payment forms must be returned to the bursar at accounts@reachacademyja.com no later than the date specified in the termly communication sent with termly invoices. Approved accounts for paying tuition and fees via a payment plan will incur an administrative fee of JMD$ 10,000.00.

Students may be refused admission if tuition and fees are not paid within the prescribed time. Reports, transcripts, and recommendations will be withheld until tuition and fees are paid. In addition, these documents will be withheld for non-payment of the fee in lieu of notice or other respective charges, such as damage to books (rented through the book fee) or other school property.

Notice of withdrawal, fee in lieu of notice & space holding:

A term’s notice, in writing (email submission is accepted admin@reachacademyja.com) must be given to the office for withdrawal from the programme. If this required notice is not provided, the parent or guardian will be liable to pay one term’s fee in lieu of this notice. Note that the summer break is not considered a term. The academic year comprises of three terms: Christmas, Easter & Summer. Please see Parent/Student Handbook for further details.

If a student withdraws after a term has commenced, the fees for that term will not be refunded.

If a student is withdrawing for a term and the parent or guardian wishes to hold the student’s space to return for another term, the parent or guardian will have to pay the entire term’s tuition for every term the space is held.

Extra-curricular activities:

These fees are provided to parents and guardians at the beginning of the school year and are resent as a reminder at the beginning of each term.  Contact the office for additional information at admin@reachacademyja.com.
