tuition and registration policy

We offer session-based tuition. Each session typically includes 8-12 weeks of classes, per our published calendar. Tuition is billed for the entire session.

Additional fees
• 2.8% payment/card processing fee to cover credit card and billing platform fees
• 2% materials fee to cover textbooks and other teaching materials and supplies for teachers for all classes, printing, class equipment, basic arts and crafts and science supplies, etc.
• Additional materials fees for art, science, theater and other classes or performances may be collected, based on specific class curriculum and activities

Registration

To secure your child’s spot in classes, all registration and payment must be completed by a predetermined date. Each class has a maximum number of students, depending on age and other factors. If the class that you wish to register for is full, you will be able to join a waitlist.

We may be able to accommodate enrollment after registration is closed by exception only and only for classes where we may have enrollment spots still open.

Transfer between classes is allowed only once per child over the first 2 weeks of classes to avoid disruption to the learning process.
