What is the withdrawl/refund policy?There are no "make-up" days at Abacus for any child who is absent from school. Children travelling for a long period of time risk losing their spot if they have not notified the school in writing. There are no refunds for any child withdrawing after April 30th. If a parent wants to withdraw a child, a written notice must be issued at least thirty days in advance. In such cases, except for the non-refundable fee of $100.00, all other cheques will be returned. Any fee discount for fees at this point become null and void
