I hearing a few stories about people not getting their deposit back from International Schools here in Marbella.
If this happened to me - I would be shouting it from the rooftops and standing outside the schools making sure everyone knows about this including the Education Department here and in the UK.
This would be of course if I was in the right!
By that I mean - when you start your child in an international school you sign a contract....contracts are contracts and only if the other party is willing to allow some movement will it be changed.
Some schools take a deposit which is NON REFUNDABLE, some PART REFUNDABLE and some are completely REFUNDABLE although they dont make it that clear.
Before you hand over over 2,000€ READ THE TERMS & CONDITIONS. Normally you have to give a whole terms notice. But if you give a whole terms notice - when do you receive the money back? Check you ask these questions.
There are many people that are struggling who dont have the money for the fees on time because they are waiting to be paid by their bosses or companies that owe them money....some schools may be leanient - but some will not, and you will be asked to remove your child from the school.
If I had given my full notice period and done everything right and still not got back my deposit I would NOT sit quietly. So if you are owed money from any school and you are absolutely certain you have followed all the Terms & Conditions - GO GET IT!

I am quite amazed at this Despite huge waiting lists here in Valencia the schools don't do that.
