I withdrew children from private elementary school before school year started. Can they hold me to contract of paying for school year if they did not attend?
Read your enrollment contract. Most schools have a "drop-dead" date. If you withdraw your child after that date, then yes, you owe the tuition. Schools have you sign a contract for a reason - they have to budget for the upcoming year. Some schools will work with you on a settlement, but don't count on it. If you didn't purchase tuition insurance (which generally doesn't kick in until after your child has attended a couple of weeks of the school year), then you're liable for the tuition.
