A non-refundable registration fee of $50 per family is due at the time of registration.

Outstanding Balances:
Any family that has not paid their child’s tuition plus any late fees for two months in a row will be contacted by the GW Director. At that time, the GW Director and the family will come up with a plan of action, either for immediate payment in full of past due amounts or an agreed upon payment plan for the full past due amounts which is created by the GW Director and documented in writing and signed by the parents.
*If no payment is made and/or the agreed upon payment plan is not met, the child will be excluded from the program until payments are made.
*If a pattern of late payment necessitates frequent reminders, the family may be required to pay in advance by the semester in order to be re-enrolled for the following year. No student(s) of parents owing overdue tuition/fees will be readmitted the following year unless the overdue amount is paid in full by June 30.
Tuition Refunds: Requests for prepaid tuition refunds must be made by the end of the month prior to withdrawal of the student. No refunds are available for partial month attendance. In the event of a school-wide closure due to COVID-19 restrictions, prepaid tuition will be refunded based on closure date. If an individual classroom is temporarily closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, no refunds will be issued.
