I'm not a lawyer but in my opinion the "business" has the right to terminate for any reason that they feel is covered in their parent handbook/contract. Even you mentioned that the school and your son are a "bad fit". That alone would show that this was an agreeable reason for both parties.

Liability would have to be considered by a court which in this case would be small claims court. If they violated the terms of your contract, the only damages owed would be the money you paid as a deposit or paid for services that can be somehow redeemed. Then again, the business is most likely covered by the terms of your agreement.

You or your son's emotions do not get covered as damages, though I'm sure you are both feel hurt by the school's decision. I went through the same thing with my son and it stings, but you just need to move on and find the right fit. You can't take these types of issues too personally. Good luck
