Up Front Fees

UP-FRONT FEES – EXTENSION

The Financial Committee of the school would like to extend the date for up-front fees to the end of February 2013.

Our building is being paid for with an Access Bond.  This means the more cash reserves we have, the less interest we need to pay.

Most up-front payments will be used in this way until we need to draw on the funds for running the school. 

If you are in the position to make an up-front payment and have not yet done so we would appreciate you considering this option.

EFT payments would be appreciated as the fees for credit card and cash payments would cancel out the benefits gained.
