Payment Schedule
We prefer payment in full for the entire year upon registration. This reduces processing time and costs. However, we are sensitive to the challenge of paying in full for multiple classes at one time, so we have a standard payment schedule we offer at no additional cost. We send email reminders and invoices as a courtesy, but families are responsible for tracking their own payments and paying on time.
Family Registration Fee. The Family Registration Fee is due with the initial tuition payment and is not refundable unless we are unable to offer any of the requested seats.
Initial Tuition Payment. One-fourth of the total fees and tuition due for all classes (including second-semester-only classes) is due immediately upon registration. Families are not charged for wait list seats. For a wait list seat the one-fourth tuition is due immediately after we notify the family of the seat opening. If we do not receive payment within 10 days of notification, we will not commit to holding the seat.
First Semester Tuition Final Payment. For full-year classes and first-semester-only classes, the balance of one-half of the total fees and tuition is due by August 1. Except in special circumstances when a family makes prior arrangements with us, we will not commit to holding seats past August 1 without full payment of this balance.
Second Semester Tuition Payment. The final half of the total fees and tuition is due by November 15. Families who register for a second semester course after this date have 10 days to pay fees and tuition in full.
