Why does a Referral Program exist?
The Referral Program exists because our Community of families is our strength. Word of mouth is an engagement pillar allowing the school to build a sustainable model for excellent bilingual education.
We recognize the importance of the Community’s engagement with the school. So we have put in place a program that rewards parents for their involvement. This program is designed to reward families while increasing their engagement. We hope you will be able to take full advantage of it and be an active participant in our community!

Earn up to $1,000 * in credit on your tuition or after / before care fee for each new enrollment you refer. What’s more? Parents you refer earn up to $1,000* in credit too!
How it works
We have made it simple
- Complete the referral form. Both the referred family and the referring family should complete and sign the form.
- Send the signed copies to Cathy Joly, our Admission Director.
- Once the new family has paid the enrollment charges**, and the new student has attended more than 14 days of school, both families will be credited up to $1,000* each on either the tuition or the After / Before care fee, according to your choice.
* $1,000 is for a 10-month enrollment Sept to June
** Enrollment charges : Application fees + New student fees + Insurance fees + Computer insurance fees + Inscriptions fees
Terms and Conditions
- Program starts February 1st and is applicable for the 20-21 and / or 21-22 school years. Rewards for the current and new parent will be calculated prorata temporis ($1,000 and $1,000 = full school year basis).
- For the new family, the credit applies for 1 tuition (1 student) only.
- For the family already enrolled in school, there is no limit in terms of referrals you can generate so you can earn your reward multiple times.
- The referral form must be communicated to school within 7 days of application’s date. No referral form will be accepted after 7 days of application’s date.
- If the tuition is paid by Corporate and you choose a tuition credit, we will need a letter from the Corporate to process the credit.
FAQ

If I refer a new family in the middle of the year, how will you calculate my reward ?
We will calculate both your and the new family reward prorata temporis. So for example, if you refer a family who comes in November 1st, your reward will be as follow :
- Basis for full reward ($1,000 and $1,000) = September – June = 10 Months
- New family presence in the school November – June = 8 Months
- Reward $2000 x 8/10 = $1,600 split 50-50 between the current and the new family.
Can you give the reward in its entire amount to one family only (the current one or the new one)?
No, we can’t. It is a shared reward
If the new family enrolls several children, will every child’s tuition get a reward?

We will issue a refund corresponding to the amount of the reward you are entitled to.
