First, the fee structure has been reduced. There are now 2 rather than 6 fees for TCS students. While total cost for education at TCS remains about the same this year, most parents will be delighted to note that the fees have been reduced for 2001-2002 school year.

However, circumstances may arise making it necessary for a student to be withdrawn.
