Tuition Information

When to Pay

Tuition is based on an annual curriculum of 34 weeks and is divided into 8 equal payments.
The payments are due the first of each month September through May, excluding December, for those students starting in September.
December tuition is still due for those students that started late, unless payment had been previously made from the beginning of the session.
Recital costumes must be purchased in December.
Tuition is due regardless of absence. Students my not skip a payment for the month because they did not attend class.
Tuition remains the same regardless of how many lessons are in the month. Most months have four lessons, some have five, others have two or three due to holidays.
Tuition and Costume fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
