Tuition & fees

For convenience, tuition is payable in equal monthly installments. It is based on the number of lesson weeks per year, not on the number of lessons per month which varies. Tuition is prorated when a student begins or withdraws. The prorated amount will be calculated by the office. Monthly class fees are collected via easy, no-hassle pre-authorized debit/credit card payment and are set up at registration.

Additional group class discounts

2nd class 20% discount
3rd class 30% discount
4th class and up 40% discount
  • The more group classes you take, the more you save.
  • Students may mix and match classes between departments.
  • Students are encouraged to take advantage of additional group class discounts for maximum value and progress.
  • Discounts apply to the shorter length classes.

Membership fee

In addition to tuition, an annual membership is due upon initial enrollment and is valid for one year as long as the student stays enrolled during that period. Two options are available:

  1. Non-refundable Basic Annual Membership Fee of $40 then $25/sibling – Allows students to reschedule up to 3 classes/lessons between August 15 – May 15 with 24 hour notice to front desk
  2. Non-refundable Premium Annual Membership Fee of $65 then $50/sibling – Allows students to reschedule up to 6 classes/lessons between August 15 – May 15 with 24 hour notice to front desk

Students with a Basic Membership may upgrade to a Premium Membership at any time as needed, for an additional $30.

If a student stops lessons and then re-enrolls, the membership fee will be paid at the time of re-enrollment. The annual membership fee is renewed the anniversary of enrollment each year thereafter that the student is still taking classes. The same type membership as purchased previously will be renewed unless the front desk is notified to switch from Basic to Premium or vice versa. This modest fee helps defray the substantial office/administrative costs, insurance, and other non-teaching costs.

Rescheduling between May 15 and August 15

The limitation for rescheduled lessons is relaxed between May 15 and August 15 to help accommodate for summer travel. Please notify the front desk as soon as possible for vacation reschedules so that the spots can be optimized for all involved. Once a class or lesson is rescheduled, it may not be rescheduled again. Students are responsible to reschedule missed lessons, and all rescheduled classes and lessons must be completed within 60 days of the missed date.
