I’m asking a refund of my deposit to Chesterbrook Academy at 3201 Race Street, Philadelphia, PA. I started this request on Jan 10 and I waited nearly two months. But I was told that the refund was still not processed. I know Chesterbrook is a big company and has a good reputation. We trust you so please don't let me wait forever. You can contact me through my email [email protected]. Thanks.
