Private Education Act
The SSG, in aiming to enhance the confidence of students and their parents in the quality of education in Singapore, has stipulated that all PEIs must sign a PEI- Student contract with their students. The contract sets out the important terms and conditions governing the relationship between the student and the PEI. Melbourne International School will honour all the terms and conditions set out in the PEI- Student contract and in all related communication materials.
Students may view a copy of the standard PEI-Student Contract.
Refund for Withdrawal During the Cooling-Off Period:

Refund for Withdrawal Outside the Cooling-Off Period:
The Contracting Party may terminate the Contract before the Course Completion Date by providing written notice. Within seven (7) working days, the Contracting Party will receive a refund (if any) as determined in accordance with Schedule D.

The Fee Protection Scheme (FPS – the Fee Protection under the Insurance Scheme) serves to protect students’ course fees in the event a private education institution is unable to continue operating due to insolvency, and/or regulatory closure. The Fee Protection Scheme also protects students if the private education institution fails to pay penalties or return fees to the students arising from judgment made against it by the Singapore courts.
The private education institutions with EduTrust license are required to adopt the Fee Protection Scheme to provide full protection to all course fees (exclude miscellaneous fee) paid by their students.
Miscellaneous fees refer to all monies that are paid by the parents to be enrolled in MIS except for course application fee, GST, exam fees collected less than 2 months before exam date (If applicable), or any other non-compulsory fee. MIS does not collect fees beyond 12 months.
MIS has adopted the FPS Insurance Scheme from Lonpac Insurance Bhd to provide fee protection for all our students.
