Dear Parents,
I wrote last week about farewells and our upcoming final year end ceremonies. I did not go into detail
about departing faculty and wanted this week to publically acknowledge all HS faculty for the great
work they do, but specifically those who are leaving the employment of ISM. I would like to mention the
outstanding service to ISM of the following people: Misao Akashi, Fred Biggar, Kelly Blackwell, Tim
Boulton, Mike Duckworth, Margaret Endelman, Victoria Herrera, Peggy Kelly, Mark Knewstubb, Sebastien
Millette, Alan MacLean, John Mulhall, Mike Oomens, Robert Reynolds, Sandy van Nooten. Next week I
will introduce the new faculty that we have been fortunate to hire to replace these departing folks.
Again I would like to remind all parents that on Monday May 30th we have the High School Honors and
Awards Ceremony and the very next day, Tuesday May 31st we have High School Graduation 2011.
The Junior-Senior Prom is to be held on Saturday May 28th at the Mandarin Hotel, Makati.
I would like to extend a warm invitation to parents to attend the HS Honors and Awards Assembly. The
High School Office will notify all parents of students who will be receiving an award. It is our annual
opportunity to honor student excellence in the areas of academics and outstanding service to the school.
Kind regards,
William R. S. Brown
High School Principal

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. 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3.1 If a student is withdrawn for 0 – 12 months, no matriculation fee shall be paid upon re‐enrollment.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
