Per‑term detail (derived from the stated 10‑month academic period)

- The listed academic program period covers Term 1 & Term 2 combined. For budgeting, the per‑term amount can be treated as half of the 10‑month program fee (Term 1 = 50%, Term 2 = 50%). Using that method:

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Tuition is charged for the academic period (Term 1 & Term 2 combined) and billing may be structured by semester/term or by monthly instalments. Families commonly spread the semester cost into monthly instalments; tuition is nonetheless calculated on a semester/academic‑period basis.

- At enrolment the Program expects initial payment(s): first and last month's instalments plus any required prepaid medical & miscellaneous deposit must be paid in full at the time of enrolment. Monthly instalments (when used) are due on the 1st day of each calendar month. Late‑payment interest and other collection terms apply under the placement agreement.

Deposits, additional and ancillary fees

- Prepaid Medical & Miscellaneous Expense: CAD 500 payable in advance to cover medical or incidental costs. Families will be asked to replenish the fund when it drops to CAD 150. Any unused portion is returned on successful graduation or earlier termination, subject to offsets for outstanding charges.

- Replacement, repair, or full‑replacement charges for Program property or damage caused by the student are billed to the parent/guardian. Transportation to/from the Program, home visits, medical/hospital costs, optional outings, and personal purchases are additional charges billed to the parent/guardian.

- A liquidated‑damages / termination adjustment example is listed in program documents (example amount CAD 3,270); when a family has prepaid and terminates early, refunds for the unused portion may be reduced by the liquidated damages amount and any unpaid charges.

Uniforms, clothing and personal items

- No separate mandatory uniform charge is published as a standalone fee. Parents/guardians are responsible for personal clothing, optional activity costs and replacement of lost or damaged personal items; a Clothing Checklist / Possession List is referenced in program documents. Replacement charges for lost/damaged items may be applied.

Refunds and termination

- Any unused portion of the Prepaid Medical & Miscellaneous Expense is returned on successful graduation or earlier termination, subject to offsets for outstanding charges. Termination and refund mechanics include provisions for liquidated damages and pro‑rata adjustments under the placement agreement; specific refund amounts and timing are governed by the signed enrolment/placement agreement.

Payment methods and practical payment instructions

- The Program may require a credit‑card number to secure the account and to cover incidental charges; the card is not to be used without authorization. Monthly instalments are invoiced to the Program billing address when applicable. Specific bank‑transfer details or online payment portal instructions are not published in the materials reviewed; families should follow invoicing instructions provided at enrolment. A full‑payment discount of 3% is offered for families who pay the full amount at once.

Other notes on charges and scope

- Boarding fees cover on‑site residential and therapeutic services as part of an integrated residential and academic program; additional out‑of‑pocket costs (medical, dental, travel, personal items, optional activities) remain the responsibility of the family.
