Legal Question in Education Law in California

contract with a high school

Is there a legal obligation

between a parent and a private

high school if the tuition is not

paid. I'm planning in taking

my son out of the private

school he attends, but the

school is telling me that I must

paid the remaining balance. I

paid in advance for the first six

months and at the end of the

semester I was planning in

taking my son out. Is the

agreement that I signed a legal

debt?
