Tuition Overview

Tuition is based on your child's contracted schedule, not actual attendance. As long as your child is officially enrolled, you are responsible for payment. We do not offer tuition credits for absences due to illness, vacation, or weather. Non-payment may result in the suspension or termination of services.

Payment Rules

A payment method must always be on file.
A 3% processing fee will be added to all credit card payments. This fee cannot be waived.
If you pay by check or online, payment must be made before the due date; otherwise, the backup payment method on file will be charged automatically.
Payments will be processed using your backup method according to the withdrawal schedule provided.
Late or declined payments will incur additional fees.
