TUITION & FEES
Tuition is based on a yearly amount that is divided into ten equal monthly payments, regardless of how many school days there are in a month. Tuition is as follows:
Tuition Schedule & Payment Details
Tuition fees are billed in 10 equal monthly installments from August through May. Please Note: While not all months of the school year have the same days in attendance, tuition is prorated according to the total number of school days for the year so that all ten payments are equal.
Each month's tuition is billed in advance via email. Accounts must be paid in full prior to services for the next month. Tuition payments are due on the 20th of the preceding month. A late fee of $25 will be assessed if payment is received after the 5th of the month. Non-payment and delinquent accounts will result in the cancellation of all services.
Multiple Child Discounts
For children of the same household, tuition rates are reduced by 10% for the second child’s tuition and 20% for the third child’s tuition.
