If a family has one or more children enrolled at Building Blocks and more than one child enrolled at Reach Academy this discount will be applied to their youngest child’s tuition only.

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 Friday of the first week of the term. The school provides a payment plan where parents or guardians can make full payment in two installments by the specified date listed in the footer of the terms invoice. Any accounts with balances after this specified date (listed in footer of terms invoice) will attract an administrative fee of $3,000.00.  Where parents or guardians choose to pay in two installments by this specified date, they must make part payment at the beginning of the term.

Parents or guardians who wish to pay fees on a plan outside of the listed two-payment option must submit a proposed payment plan to the bursar at reachthebursar@gmail.com before the beginning of the term for consideration.

Students may be refused admission if fees are not paid within the prescribed time. Reports, transcripts and recommendations will be withheld until 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 terms notice, in writing (email submission is accepted – reachtheoffice@gmail.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 terms 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 greater 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 students space to return for another term the parent or guardian will have to pay the entire terms 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 resent as a reminder at the beginning of each term.  Contact the office for additional information at reachtheoffice@gmail.com.
