Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I pay for the 2017-2018 school year tuition?
A: School year tuition may be paid with two semester payments or monthly payments.
Semester Tuition Payment (due at time of registration and on January 1, 2018)
A: To drop a class, you will need to fill out a drop form and turn it in to Carol Erkes, Director. These forms are due by the 10th of the month in order to ensure that you will not be charged your monthly tuition. (For example, November’s tuition is due on November 1st, so the drop form would be due on November 10th.)
Q: Why do I have to pay a full month’s tuition during November and December?
A: Our tuition is based on a full year of classes. Most classes will meet 36 times during the 2017 -2018 season. Some months will meet 5 times and some months will meet less. The tuition is based on the year of classes and not on a month to month basis. The monthly tuition rate is for your financial planning. We operate our school based on a yearly budget.
