Confirmation of School Place and Advance Fees for 2024/25 – ESF Abacus International Kindergarten
Dear Parents
As we approach the end of the school year, we are writing to let you know the procedure to confirm your child’s place for 2024/25. If you will be withdrawing your child and have submitted the Withdrawal Notice to your school, please ignore this letter.
Every year, parents need to reserve a school place for their child for the following year by making an advance payment of September’s fees as a surety.
Advance Payment
The advance fees for K2 students in the next academic year 2024/25 are HK$8,930 or HK$10,380 for children in the bilingual class. These advance fees will be used to offset the tuition fees for September 2024. If there is a revision of fees in the next academic year, the difference will be payable in September 2024.
Please note that your child’s school place will not be confirmed if we do not receive your advance fees before the payment due date or if there are any outstanding tuition fees on the account without prior arrangement at the beginning of the next academic year.
Settlement
The advance payment will be debited from your designated bank account on 1 August 2024. Please ensure that there are sufficient funds in the account.
If you have not set up the direct debit authorisation yet, please complete the Direct Debit Authorisation Form and send it back to ESF Centre, G.P.O. Box 11284, Hong Kong by 1 June 2024 as it may take up to six weeks for the bank to process the direct debit.
If your monthly tuition fees are being settled by your employer directly, please make the payment by cheque on or before 15 July 2024:
- Click here to download and complete the Cheque Payment Slip;
- Send the cheque payment slip together with a crossed cheque made payable to “The ESF Educational Services Ltd” to “G.P.O. Box 11284, Hong Kong” on or before 15 July 2024. Post-dated cheques are not accepted.
Student Withdrawals
If you are withdrawing your child at the end of this academic year, please submit the student withdrawal notice via the ESF App by 1 June 2024. Otherwise, we will assume that your child is returning after summer and parents are liable for the tuition fees for September 2024 even if the student does not return to school.
Should you have any queries regarding the above, please contact our Billing Team at billing@esfcentre.edu.hk
We would like to thank you for your cooperation on this matter, and we wish your child every success in 2024/25.
Yours sincerely
Vivian Cheung Julie Wong
Chief Financial Officer ESF Head of Admissions
