• Notice for the withdrawal of a child from group lessons is three full months before the end of a semester. Otherwise, the semester fees will be due in full. 

• Parents are required to have health, accident and liability insurance for their children. 

• Classes for the following academic year are organised in April and current students, and their siblings, always have priority.
