Leaving ISM?
For those students that will be withdrawing from Internaonal School Manila this school year (SY 13
-14), the following procedure applies:
Parents are obliged to ocially inform the Admissions Oce in wring through a Withdrawal No-
caon Form at least een (15) days prior to your childs last day of school.
For those leaving at theend of the school year,you MUST submit a Withdrawal No-
caon Form on or before May 09, 2014.
Failure to do so will lead to a deducon of US$1,000 from the Facilies Upgrade Deposit (FUD) in
compensaon for having held a space for the child and thus prevenng the School from oeringthat space to another child prior to the summer holiday break.
The Withdrawal Nocaon Form can be obtained from the Admissions Oce or downloaded from
the ISM website here.
We hope that your child has had an enriching stay at ISM and wish you and your family the very
best in the future.
