3. Non-Payment: The Student will not be permitted to attend classes, take examinations, participate in extracurricular activities including but not limited to athletics, attend or participate in graduation or obtain grades or transcripts if any installment payment of Tuition and or Fees is past due or balances are due and owing. Nor will the School provide transcripts or recommendations on behalf of the Student to any party, except as required by law, if any portion of Tuition or Fees is past due. If Tuition and Fees are in arrears, the outstanding balance due and owing may, in the sole discretion of the School, become subject to immediate payment in full. The continued eligibility for Financial Aid is contingent upon remaining current with tuition payments and other charges. If any of the payments required above are not made on their respective due dates, I/we will be charged a late payment charge of 0.67% per month (8% per annum) on any overdue balances. In the event of a dispute between the School and me/us regarding tuition, fees or other charges of any kind, or if I/we fail to make any payment(s) under this Enrollment Agreement when due, and Ignite undertakes collection efforts to collect the payment(s) (including but not limited to efforts in house, with the assistance of third parties, or through legal action), I/we agree to pay all expenses incurred by Ignite, including collection costs and/or legal fees, in the event Ignite prevails.
4. Withdrawal/Removal: I/we acknowledge that our obligation to pay the full amount of the Tuition and Fees is unconditional regardless of whether the Student is absent, withdrawn, dismissed or otherwise ceases to attend the School unless written notice of cancellation is received by the School's Admission Office on or before May 1, 2025 (the "Cancellation Date"). I/we acknowledge and understand that class, athletic and extracurricular instruction and supervision and all arrangements incident thereto (including meal service and transportation) are planned and committed by the School for the full school year in reliance upon our agreement to pay fees and other expenses, whether or not the pupil is in attendance. When the School makes admission decisions, it relies on the acceptances already received to determine whether an applicant can or should be admitted. When a student withdraws from the School, it may be difficult to find a suitable replacement without altering the student environment which the School carefully constructs to be dynamic and engaging. It is more difficult to find suitable replacements after the established Cancellation Date, as replacements will have accepted positions at other institutions and will be otherwise bound to the obligations of those institutions.
• Withdrawal on or after April 1: tuition for enrollment year will be charged at 50% of contract amount, unless the withdrawal is due to a family move outside of the district, change in family status, or other circumstance as approved by Administration.
• Withdrawal after start of school year; in addition to the 50% charge above, tuition for enrollment year will be charged on a pro-rated basis (based on the number of school days already past in enrollment year, divided by the total number of school days in the enrollment year). Total charge shall not exceed 100% of contract amount for that enrollment year. The above schedule is effective, whether the withdrawal is for expulsion, dismissal, transfer, or otherwise. Under any withdrawal circumstance, the registration deposit is non-refundable and will not be pro-rated.
5. Transcripts/Records. All accounts must be paid in full before records and transcripts can be released or transferred to other schools and colleges. Student will not be allowed to continue to attend classes and school activities or sit for examinations unless tuition and fees are paid by stated deadlines (or until Parent makes other written arrangements acceptable to the School). In the event of default (default being 30 days past due) Parent agrees to pay all costs of collection, including collection agency fees, attorneys' fees, court costs and interest of 1.5% per month.
6. Enrollment. Student will be enrolled for the academic year in Grade referenced above. Parent is aware that a final determination of grade/ classroom placement will be made by the School in accordance with the School's standard admissions or retention practices and that curriculum changes/decisions are made in the School's discretion. This Contract is valid only for the academic year stated and does not entitle Student to any future enrollment.
7. School Rules. Student's enrollment at the School is subject to the general statements, rules, regulations, conditions, traditions, and financial terms contained in the School's Student Handbook and other published documents, which may be amended from time to time. Parent agrees that Parent and Student must abide by such School rules and guidelines.
8. Student Dismissal - The School reserves the right to dismiss a student at any time in its discretion if it is determined that the student's continued enrollment is no longer in the best interest of the student or of the School. In such case, the School may consider a partial tuition refund on a case by case basis and in the sole discretion of the School.
9. School/Family Cooperation. The School believes that a positive and constructive working relationship between the School and parent is essential to the fulfillment of the School's educational purpose and responsibilities to its students. If the parent's or other family member's behavior, communications, or interactions on or off campus (including during school-sponsored events) is disruptive, intimidating, or overly aggressive, or reflects a loss of confidence or serious disagreement with the school's policies, methods of instruction, or discipline, or otherwise seriously interferes with the School's safety procedures, responsibilities, or accomplishment of its educational purpose or program, the School reserves the right to dismiss the family from the community. In addition, the School reserves the right to place restrictions on parents' or other family members' involvement or activity at school, on school property, or at school-related events if the parent or other family member engages in behavior or has a status (such as a criminal conviction) that would reasonably suggest that such restrictions may be appropriate for the community. There will be no refund of tuition where such enforced withdrawal occurs and any unpaid balance is payable in full according to the terms of this Contract. If, for any reason, it is in the best interest of the School, the School also reserves the right to withdraw an offer of enrollment or re-enrollment at any time, and to nullify an executed Enrollment Contract.
10. Medical Authorization. If, in the opinion of a properly licensed and practicing physician, Student needs medical or surgical services which require Parent's pre- authorization or consent, Parent hereby authorizes, appoints, and empowers the School to act as Parent and furnish such consent on Parent's behalf. Parent confirms that it is Parent's desire that Student be furnished with such medical or surgical services as soon as reasonably possible after the need arises. Parent hereby releases and holds the School harmless from any liability which might arise from the giving of such consent. Parent agrees to reimburse the School for any medical expenditures made on Student's behalf.
