have an additional charge of US$100 per quarter. For quarterly payments, post‐dated checks are required to be
submitted at the time of enrollment. The USD portion should be paid in US dollars and the PhP portion should be paid
in Philippine pesos to eliminate conversion costs. Payments that are not in the prescribed currency will be converted
as appropriate based on the school exchange rate, which includes a mark‐up to cover the currency conversion costs.
2. Only the Tuition Fees may be paid by the semester or quarter. All other fees must be paid in full on the due date. An
additional one per cent (1%) surcharge per month is added on all school fees that remain unpaid after the due dates.
3
3. Matriculation Fee: For all NEW students entering Grades Kindergarten and above; is required to hold a place, and
should be paid in full upon acceptance. Refund of the matriculation fee will only be made in case of cancellation of the
application or acceptance, or the child does not physically enroll. Students who have paid this fee, withdraw and
subsequently return to the School are covered by the following guidelines (based on withdrawal date) :
3.1 If a student is withdrawn for 0 – 12 months, no matriculation fee shall be paid upon re‐enrollment.
3.2 If a student is withdrawn for more than 12 months up to 24 months, 50% of the matriculation fee shall be paid
upon re‐enrollment
3.3 If a student is withdrawn for more than 24 months, full matriculation fee shall be paid upon re‐enrollment.
4. Facilities Upgrade Deposit: For all NEW students entering Grades Kindergarten and above; should be paid in full upon
acceptance. A certificate of deposit will be issued to confirm payment of the FUD. The FUD is FULLY refundable upon
receipt of a written request and return of the duly endorsed Certificate of Deposit, when the student withdraws from
the School with proper clearance.
5. Application Fee: For all NEW students; should be paid in full upon submission of application. This is non‐refundable
and non‐transferable.
6. For NEW PRE‐SCHOOL students, a $1,000 non‐refundable, non‐transferable reservation fee, deductible from the
annual tuition fee due, must be paid upon acceptance to guarantee the place in the pre‐school program for the SY
2011‐12. The tuition and all other fees must be paid prior to the student starting class. If the expected enrollment date
is deferred to beyond the beginning of the new school year, then all school fees must be fully paid prior to the
beginning of the new school year to guarantee and hold the seat.
7. Refund of school fees in case of student withdrawal will not be pro‐rated for part of a quarter, regardless of the
number of days attended.
8. A re‐enrollment deposit payment is not required to reserve a space at the School for SY2011‐12. However, parents are
obligated to inform the School in writing, before the second Friday of May 2011 if their children will withdraw at the
end of the academic year 2010‐11. There is a WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM for such purpose and this must be
submitted to the Admissions Office before the second Friday of May of each school year. Failure to do so will lead to a
deduction of US$1,000 from the Facilities Upgrade Deposit (FUD), in compensation for having held a space for the
child and thus preventing the School from offering that space to another child prior to the summer holiday break.
9. Please take note that the School shall take action to suspend the student’s right to attend classes and other school
activities for those students whose school fees remain unpaid by end of August for the first semester, and end of
January for the second semester. It shall likewise suspend the student’s right to receive report cards or transcript of
records while the student’s account remains unpaid. Moreover, this may result in forfeiture of the student’s place or
reservation for the next school year.
10. For check payments, over‐the‐counter bank payments and wire transfers, kindly indicate the STUDENT’S NAME AND
TELEPHONE NUMBER. Please provide the School with a copy of the deposit slip or bank advice, where applicable, for

SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM:
Dear Grade 10 and 11 students,
Are you ready for the REAL WORLD? How would you like to spend 4 days (June 13, 14, 15, and 16) right after school finishes
learning more about a company/industry/career that you are curious about…and maybe even getting a bit of work experience at the
same time.
Welcome to The Bearcat Summer Internship Program
As you all know well, high school for students is (among many things) a time of self-discovery. It is a time where you begin to better
acknowledge your aptitudes/likes, where you hone your strengths and where you begin to sort through that rather complicated map
know as your educational and future career path. Unfortunately, it is often a map with gaps between what you learn in your “academic”
classrooms and the “real world” your teachers are working to prepare you for.
In short, we hope to help bridge that gap for selected ISM students through a four day summer internship/job shadow placement right
after high school finishes in June with various companies in the Metro Manila area. During this 4 day internship, you would
essentially work (without pay of course) at a particular company, handling various level appropriate responsibilities and/or
job shadowing a selected employee(s).
Current companies that have signed up and will be offering internships/job shadowing opportunities to our ISM students include
(among others):
Alaska Milk Corporation and Asian Development Bank (ADB)
If you are interested in possibly being selected for an internship/job shadow placement please
1. Make sure you have the dates of June 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 open in your schedule and
2. Check your ISM email account very shortly for additional details on how to apply.
In the meantime, please contact Mr. McQueen (mcqueend@ismanila.org) in the HS Guidance Office if you have any questions.
