How Monthly Tuition Works:
- Our school-year classes run from September through May and include on average, 37 classes over the full school year.
- Tuition is divided into equal monthly payments, so your monthly rate stays the same regardless of how many class dates fall within a particular month. Some months may have more classes and others fewer due to holidays and the school calendar.
- Your enrollment continues automatically throughout the school year unless canceled with 30 days' notice.
- If cancellation is not requested 30 days prior to your billing date, your enrollment will carry over to the next month automatically and you will continue to be billed on a monthly basis.
- All enrolled students have access to unlimited makeup classes, so long as their membership is active.
Making Up a Missed Class:
- Currently enrolled members enjoy unlimited makeup classes for any missed sessions. To schedule a makeup class, simply contact us to arrange another available class time.
- Unused makeup classes roll over from season to season as long as your membership remains active. Makeup classes are offered as a courtesy, are subject to availability, and have no cash or monetary value.
