<Method of payment>

General Info Tuition Rates Payment Info

There are 4 tuition payments per calendar year, due on or before the start of the next quarter.  We will notify all parents of the scheduled due dates, which are posted on the calendar.  Students enrolling in the middle of a quarter will not have to pay for days prior to their enrollment, but will be assessed an additional $25 mid-quarter enrollment fee.

If a registering family has more than 1 child enrolled, the registration fee of the additional children will be at 1/2 cost ($25.00). Also, will be a $50 discount for that family each quarter (up to $200 in a school year).

Although payment is scheduled on a quarterly basis, we can create an individualized "installment plan" that divides up the payments in 11 smaller payments on the following dates: 4/24/07, 9/28/07, 10/26/07, 11/5/07, 11/30/07, 12/21/07, 1/28/08, 2/28/08, 3/31/08, 4/15/08, and 5/30/08. To this, we charge a $10 fee per payment, and also a refundable 2-week deposit that is returned at the end of the year. The amount of each payment is calculated differently for each child, based on which days they have chosen during the week.

In the case of a student being absent for an extended period due to illness or injury, please submit a certificate of a doctor.  Tuition fees will be reassessed in consultation with the director.

Throughout the year, we have field trips and special events, some of which will require extra fees for parents (higher fees if the event is not during that child's regular enrollment schedule).

The Registration and Materials Fees are non-refundable.
