How Monthly Tuition Works:
- Our school-year classes run from September through May and include on average, 37 classes over the full school year.
- Tuition is divided into equal monthly payments, billed on the 25th of the month, so your monthly rate stays the same regardless of how many class dates fall within a particular month. Some months may have more classes and others fewer due to holidays and the school calendar.
- Your enrollment continues automatically throughout the school year unless canceled with 30 days' notice.
- If cancellation is not requested 30 days prior to your billing date, your enrollment will carry over to the next month automatically and you will continue to be billed on a monthly basis.
