Registration and Tuition

Registration Fee: $30 per student due at registration. Registration fees are non-refundable.
Tuition:  Tuition is $58 per month for one class. A multi-class discount is available and is based on the total number of classes per student/family. An additional discount is given to students/families enrolled in auto-pay using a bank account. Due to the rising cost of credit/debit card fees, we are no longer able to offer a discount for auto pay by credit/debit cards. Six-week classes are excluded from both the multi-class and auto-pay discounts.
