School fees

School fees are payable in advance in the amounts quoted by Teneo from time to time for the relevant grade, curriculum, school format and school year. School fees can be paid monthly, termly or as an annual payment. Monthly or termly fees are payable upfront in advance before the 1st day of the applicable month. To qualify for the annual upfront payment discount, a payment for the full annual fees (less the discount) is required to be made before the end of March. School fees are billed with effect from the 1st day of the month (including January) regardless of the Learner’s actual enrolment start date in that month. School fees do not include the cost of any textbooks or stationery that may be required, nor do they include any costs for internet connectivity, computer equipment and back-up electrical power.

Discounts

5% discount when you pay the annual fees upfront.*

5% sibling discount will be applied to the school fees where there are any enrolled second or additional siblings.**

*To qualify for the annual upfront payment discount, a payment for the full annual fees (less the discount) is required to be made before the end of March.

**Where two or more siblings are enrolled with Teneo, the sibling discount will be applied only to the school fees of the second and any subsequent siblings enrolled.

Discounts are applied per Learner and to the gross fee (not any previously discounted fee) in respect of that Learner.

Registration Fee

A non-refundable registration fee of R1,500 is payable per Learner together with the first school fee payment for that Learner.

School Format Changes

During the first term in which a Learner is enrolled, Parents may request that the Learner’s school format be changed for the remainder of the school year by submitting the required form before the applicable cut-off date in a month. Changes will take effect either in the same month or a subsequent month, depending on the type of change. If submitted after the cut-off, the change will apply the following month or in a subsequent month, depending on the type of change.

Termination of Enrolment

A Learner’s enrolment at Teneo may be terminated by the submission of a Termination of Enrolment form (available from Teneo). If the Termination of Enrolment form is submitted by the cut-off date within any calendar month, termination of that Learner’s enrolment will take effect on the month end specified in the Termination of Enrolment form. If the form is submitted after the applicable cut-off date in a calendar month, the earliest date for termination is the end of the next calendar month. Payment must be made in full for the period until the termination of enrolment takes effect.

Any required examination board concessions for a Learner will incur additional concession and administration fees. Any other costs incurred by Learners with respect to examinations, such as transport to the examination venue or accommodation if required, must be met by the Learners directly.
