NOTE: Payments received after the due date will incur a $25 late fee for every week the payment is late. 

 

We offer two Payment Options: You can either opt to pay in full at the beginning of each trimester, or you can enroll in our Auto-Payment Plan where your card on file is charged every month by the 1st. If you would like to change your payment option between trimesters, please let us know at least one month in advance so we can bill you appropriately.

If you enroll in our Auto-Payment Plan Option, you must complete and sign an agreement form to authorize a credit/debit card for our file. Please note that a new form must be filled out every enrollment year and registration is not considered complete until the agreement form has been submitted along with registration.

There is a $25 fee for a returned check or declined payment. If this causes you to be late in a payment by more than a week, your card will be charged an additional fee of $25 per week that it is late. 

Any additional performance fees will be automatically charged to the card on file on the due date, only if participation has been confirmed. 

Auto-Payment Plan Breakdown by Trimester: 

The first trimester is 12 weeks long and payments are divided into 3 payments: September, October and November. 

Registrations after September 20th will only have the option of pay in full or two payments (October and November) for the first trimester.

Tuition is calculated based on the number of hours a student will be in class each week (all classes the student is enrolled in). Hourly Rate is determined by what tier each student is under.

Tier	Hours Per Week	Hourly Rate
Tier One	0.5 - 4 hrs	$22.00/hr
Tier Two	4.25 - 8 hrs	$20.00/hr
Tier Three	8.25 - 12 hrs	$18.00/hr
Tier Four	>12 hrs	$16.00/hr

Tuition Calculations 

Paying in Full:

(Total Hours of Classes per week) x (Hourly Rate based on Tier) x (Total Weeks in Trimester) = Total Payment Due + Registration Fee

Monthly Auto-Payments: 

(Total Hours of Classes per week) x (Hourly Rate based on Tier) x (Number of Weeks in Trimester/3 Months) = Total Payment Due + Registration Fee
