We don't mind the school raising its fees good for them but this should be for the new comers only.
We applied last year knowing that the fees for ms was for 36,000 and the annual increase is from 7-10% and we agreed to that.
Even if we didn't sign a contract with the school saying that ,this doesn't mean that they can change their words whenever they feel like ! This is a huge institutions and their words alone is enough ,last year you told me we will pay X and we agreed and you too. so you can't come change your words and obligations to me just because more ppl want to enter the school "mainly because existing parents like us give positive feed bk about it"
You have more obligations and salaries ,elc. we do too!
If you said last year that next year fees raise will be 17% and We agreed to that then it is my problem and we won't come arguing with you
Same point as the second child discount ,last year when we applied,u said one of the benefits I'm offering you is the 10% discount ,you can't come and change your mind next year.
Any change the school want to make this year to the new comers its their right , and new patterns can take it or leave it
Any word the school said to us last year is An obligation to them they can't take their words back whenever they want too.
To sum it up
Hello everyone. . I think we should agree on our demands before we go which is in think
1. New comers fees can't be applied on existing students or the new Comer siblings
2. Existing studens annual increase should be previously determined with a range e.g 5-10 % (according to the financial need of the school at that year)
3. A written agreement contract should be signed with the parents before any payments determining the details of the fees + previously mentioned annual increase
4. Discounts for the newly coming siblings should be mentioned in the contract

The Concordia administration thinks they can just move the goalposts whenever their bottom line looks thin. I am currently drafting a formal demand letter to the board because their bait-and-switch tactics on fees and discounts are professional malpractice. Stop letting them treat your family like an open checkbook while they ignore the agreements they made with us when we first enrolled.

The administration at Concordia is finally feeling the heat from our collective outrage. They thought they could silence us with these greedy fee hikes but they clearly underestimated how hard we would fight back.

All the International schools have two different fees schedule... one for the old students,so I can know what are the fees till graduation. and another one for the new comers... but it doesn't make sense that we follow same fees schedule
I totally agree that we r the reason you have good reputition.. and that it is unfair to increase your fee with no limits and i want to know "what is the return?" The new toys in the class!! Where are the new facilities that u add each year that equilize the raise of the money!!!!! And the BUS!!! and the siblings discount!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have just made a big mess
I totally agree with this. Plus they were engaged 4years ago to not increase the fees every year and to respect tge economic crises the country is passing through.
Maternelle kids are not like new comers. They are school students and school must respect this.
we do not accept the increasing of the fees with more than 7% every year starting ps. increase should only be on the outcomers. Any student that is already in school should not be entitled for more than the 7% uearly as per the law. please you need to respect the agreement you made with parents even if it is not a written one still the school is obligated to respect the schedule they give us at the begining of each year.
I'm totally against the new decisions. That's nonsense.
This is nonsense increase

Disagree with the new fees raise and disagree with cancelling the seblings discount for those who entered the school and had the word from the school management that they have this discount for there other children .
