Terms

Annual Tuition increase:
Each year, there will be 5% increase on all fees charged. Our greatest cost is teaching staff and salaries are set to increase annually according to experience.

Bond:
Parents will need to put a bond in place, equivalent to one term’s fees. The bond becomes the last term’s fees only in the case of notice of withdrawal and requires one full term in writing. If insufficient notice is given, the bond will not be released. The student remains enrolled for the entire final term.

Donations:
Peace Experiment Limited is a not-for-profit company and a registered charity. All surplus finances are fed directly back to support the school. Parents may choose to donate to the Trust account any amount above their tuition and other expense. That will assist scholarships for school supplies.

Included in Tuition:
Stationery, photocopying, materials (unless otherwise specified), 4 compulsory camps, are included in tuition; there are no uniform costs.

Late Payments:
Late payments and non-payments will incur administration charges of $50 and risk the loss of the bond, and possibly the enrolment position. External agencies may be used to ensure payment of fees.

Paying in Advance:
Parents may choose to pay in advance, for as many years as they want to at the current rate and the tuition will be credited against their account in future terms.

Payments:
Fortnightly payments can be made only when the bond (equivalent to one term's fees) is in place.

Tax:
IRD's position is that the independent school tuition fees don't qualify as a gift or donation tax credits.

International Students:
Domestic Rate; annual tuition is $25,875. Camps are paid at the same rate as for domestic students.

Withdrawal:
Written statements of the intent to withdraw in the following term (giving ten full weeks notice), must also be received by two full weeks prior to the start of the final term attending.
