VISION STATEMENT
At Ramagya School, we strive to provide affordable and accessible education for all students, while maintaining a high standard of excellence in our academic and extracurricular offerings. Our vision is to establish a transparent and equitable fee policy that ensures financial sustainability and provides a clear understanding of the financial commitments and expectations of parents and guardians.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to create a holistic School Fees and Transport Fee Policy that outlines the fee structure, payment terms, late fee charges, and consequences for non-payment while fostering a culture of responsibility, commitment, and mutual respect between the school and parents or guardians.
Objective: To establish a fair, transparent, and consistent School Fees and Transport Fee Policy that outlines the fee structure, payment terms, late fee charges, and consequences for non-payment.
Policy Statement: Ramagya School is committed to providing a clear and fair fee structure that supports the educational needs and financial commitments of parents and guardians while ensuring the school's ability to maintain and enhance the quality of education and extracurricular activities.
1. Fee Structure and Payment Terms
- Clearly outline the fee structure for tuition, transport, and other additional costs on the school's website and in enrollment materials.
- Provide parents and guardians with an itemised list of fees and charges during the enrollment process.
- Establish reasonable payment terms and deadlines, including options for quarterly or annual payments.
2. Late Fee Charges
- Implement a late fee charge of Rs. 50 INR per day for overdue tuition payments, up to a maximum of three months.
3. Consequences for Non-Payment of Tuition Fees
To ensure smooth administrative functioning, parents/guardians will be notified of any overdue fees through written reminders and follow-up calls. If the fee remains unpaid by the 11th day of the fourth month (e.g., for the April–June quarter, the deadline is in July), the student’s name may be removed from the school register.
In such cases, re-enrollment will require:
- Clearing all pending dues
- Reapplying for admission
- Paying a 50% re-admission fee
Please Note:
- The school reserves the right to initiate legal procedures for recovery of unpaid quarterly fees.
- For families opting for the quarterly fee plan, this policy comes into effect from the 15th of the month when the quarter’s fee becomes due.
- For families on the monthly payment plan, the policy applies from the 15th of the third month, when the cumulative quarterly fee remains unpaid.
4. Transport Fee Policy
- Transport fees must be submitted on or before the 10th of each month. If payment is not received by this date, the student will not be permitted to use the school transport service from the 11th of that month, until all outstanding dues are settled.
5. Financial Assistance and Scholarships
- Offer financial assistance and scholarships to eligible students, based on merit and financial need.
- Provide information on the application process and eligibility criteria for financial assistance and scholarships on the school's website and in enrollment materials.
6. New Protocol for Monthly Payment Requests
- Deadline for Monthly Payment Requests: All requests to convert quarterly fee payments to monthly payments must be submitted by July 31st of each academic year. Any requests received after this date will not be considered.
- Late Fee Waivers: If a parent requests a monthly payment conversion, any late fees incurred up to the date of the request will not be waived. Parents must settle all outstanding fees, including late fees before the conversion request can be processed.
FEE REFUND RULES
1. Withdrawal and Refund Procedure
After admission, if parents wish to withdraw their child, the fee refund policy is as follows:
- A deduction of 25,000 from the admission fee and the remaining amount will be refunded if the application of withdrawal is made within 30 days from the date of admission.
- A deduction of 50,000 from the admission fee and the remaining amount will be refunded if the application of withdrawal is made within 30-60 days from the date of admission.
- If the application of withdrawal is made post 60 days from the date of admission but before session commencement only caution money will be refunded including tuition fee (if applicable).
- No admission fee will be refunded if the application for withdrawal is made after the session commencement.
Ramagya School aims to provide a transparent and equitable financial framework that supports the educational needs of all students while ensuring the school's ability to maintain and enhance the quality of education and extracurricular activities.
This policy has been carefully designed to meet the expectations of the school students and their parents, ensuring that it reflects the values and commitments of Ramagya School.
