Word of mouth plays a crucial role in how families discover UMCA Rich Tree Academy. To foster this, we have established the Family Referral Incentive Program, designed to encourage our UMCA community to help bring in prospective students.
For current UMCA families
There is no limit to the number of families that can be referred.
If the referral credit exceeds the referring family’s tuition fees for the 2026-2027 school year, the excess can be applied to the 2027-2028 school year tuition fees.
There is no cash value to the referral credit.
The referring family’s tuition will be credited in September of the 2026-2027 school term.
If tuition has been paid in full, a refund cheque will be issued, or credit towards the 2027-2028 school term will be applied.
For UMCA Alumni + UMCA Staff
UMCA Alumni families and UMCA staff who make a successful preschool or elementary referral but do not currently have a child enrolled in the school will receive a $1,000 cheque, provided the referred family completes the enrollment process and remains enrolled for the full academic year.
For everyone
The referred family must follow and complete the regular enrolment process—submission of a registration form, approval by UMCA, and successful completion of a placement test for the student. The final decision for student acceptance rests solely with the School’s administration.
The referred family’s enrolment must continue in good standing for the full 2025-2026 academic year.
Referrals may not be made retroactively. Referrals must be made at the time of the new family’s initial registration and cannot be added after the registration form has been submitted.
Parents cannot refer their own children.
In the event of a conflict or a deemed abuse of the Family Referral Incentive Program, UMCA reserves the right to settle all disputes based on the program’s terms and conditions. The resolution reached by UMCA will be a final determination. Any disputes must be raised within 30 days of the incident.
The Family Referral Incentive Program may be discontinued at any time at the discretion of UMCA. UMCA reserves the right to change any and all information.
Eligible referrals are for preschool, and elementary school – referral credit is $1000 per new family.
