Non-Payment

In the case of non-payment or underpayment of any liabilities including surcharges for more than five school days, the student may not attend school until the payment is made. In such cases, this will result in suspension of enrollment, denial of re-registration, and/or withholding of student records.

Late Admission

For students entering later in the year, tuition will be prorated on an academic quarter basis at 25% of annual tuition. If a student attends even one day of a quarter, there will be no rebate for that quarter. All other fees will be payable in full.

Withdrawal and Tuition Refund

If a written notification to withdraw a student is received by RVIS two weeks before the first day of classes, this enrollment contract will be terminated. In the event of such termination, RVIS will retain the non-refundable Application Fee, capital fee, and 10% of tuition fees.

In the case of a student’s early withdrawal during the first semester, only second semester tuition will be reimbursable, provided that the parent notifies the Head of School in writing 30 days in advance, and the student is not residing in Bahrain any longer and the vacant seat has been successfully filled. Unless these three conditions are met, second semester tuition and other fees will not be reimbursed.
