PEN AND PAPER FOUNDATION PAYMENT POLICY

The Pen and Paper Foundation is dedicated to maintaining careful management of its finances and has adopted the policies written below covering the payment of foundation fees and the respective deadlines. We appreciate our families’ cooperation in assisting the foundation in meeting its financial obligations in a timely manner. For this school year, 100% of foundation fees will go into covering the school’s budgeted operating costs.

The prompt payment of all fees is most important as this school is non-profit and operational costs are a fixed matter. 

All parents are responsible for foundation fee payments once their child(ren) starts the 2023/2024 school session. Failure to attend or properly withdraw does not release the parent from financial obligation. Please refer below for withdrawal and payment deadlines.

To accommodate low-income families, we will need to depend on donations and fundraisers throughout the year. There will be no immediate low-income discount for 2023/2024.

*Please note: we are currently in the application process of being a Charitable Organization. *

*Foundation Fee restructured
