Tuition Obligation: TUITION IS BILLED MONTHLY AND IS DUE AND PAYABLE BY THE 1ST OF EACH MONTH.  There are two options for billing:  

EQUALIZER PLAN - The amount per month will be the same regardless of the number of weeks in school each month.  The amount is based on the weekly tuition amount multiplied by the number of weeks in school (35) divided by the number of months (10.)

WEEKS PER MONTH - The amount per month will be based on the based upon the number of school weeks in each month.  

If my child will not be in attendance for a month or more due to illness, travel, vacation, suspension or other situation I understand that I am still responsible for the full payment of tuition while missing school in order to hold their spot in the class until they return.  If tuition is not paid, the spot will be filled by a child on the waiting list.  Should the school need to close for a week or more due to epidemic/pandemic exposure, acts of God, disaster, etc, there will be no refunds.

Discounts: 
ACTIVE Duty Military - 10% tuition discount on one child
Multiple Children from same household - First child-Full Tuition and 2nd child-10% off tuition

I understand that if I have signed up to bring cash, check or Zelle and have not made payment by the first Friday of each month, I am subject to a $25 per week late fee.
