We prefer payment in full for the entire year upon registration. This avoids late fees and reduces processing 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 in which we break required payments into two parts for each semester of the class. Please note that families are responsible for tracking their own payments and paying on time. We may assess a fee of $10 per course for each required payment postmarked later than the deadlines in our payment schedule. This section provides an explanation of our standard payment schedule.

General. On each family's account page is a section that reflects billing and payment status. It dynamically updates with any courses added or deleted, and with any movement on or off a waiting list. It also lists remaining payments and the dates by which each is due. We prefer to receive all payments upon registration, but we offer a no-interest payment plan that divides the fees and tuition into four equal payments. We will also consider other individual payment plans upon request. If a family chooses to use a payment plan, we may assess a $10 late fee per course for each payment not made on time. We may also block access to or drop classes for delinquent accounts.

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 Initial Payment. The third one-fourth of the total fees and tuition is due by November 1.

Second Semester Tuition Final Payment. The final payment of all fees and tuition is due in full by December 15.
