Tuition is by semester, but full-year attendance is assumed.  For the Spring semester, you will automatically be re-enrolled in your same classes unless you indicate otherwise.  There are now three options for families to choose from, depending on individual preferences.

• Option 1, Year in Full: Pay both Fall and Spring tuition by September 15th and receive a 5% discount.
• Option 2, Installment Plan: 3 equal payments per semester that include an additional 5% plan fee. Payments are due September 15th, October 15th and November 15th in the Fall and January 15th, February 15th and March 15th in the Spring.
• Option 3,  Semester Payment: Due September 15th in Fall and March 7th in Spring.

As usual, a 3% processing fee will apply to credit card payments, as this is what we are charged by the credit card processor.

Additional Fees for Optional Performances and Administrative Charges

There are no refunds given for voluntary withdrawal from classes. Credits on previously paid tuitions or credits from siblings or past students are not transferable. Fees, deposits and tuitions are non-refundable.

Registration Change Fee  We understand that schedules occasionally need to be adjusted.  After the first 2 weeks of the semester which is evaluation and placement period, there will be a $25 class change fee per class for voluntary adjustments.

Make-Up Classes    Make-up reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to ensure there is availability in the class.

Inclement Weather    No credit will be given for school closings due to inclement weather as these events are beyond our control. Students will be allowed to make-up the class in a pre-existing class in the same level or below, providing there is available room.
