Tuition

Tuition is payable monthly by direct debit from a checking or savings account or a Visa or eligible credit card. There is a Electronic Funds Transfer section of your registration form (see our registration page to download forms) that should be self-explanatory. However, should you have questions about tuition or policy matters, our staff is always available to answer questions 9am to 7pm Monday through Thursday in person or by phone.

Please read all policy information carefully below before enrolling.

Enrolling in the Academy

In order for you and/or your child(ren) to be enrolled in the academy, we must have a completed registration form on file - that includes tuition information in the form of a valid Visa or Mastercard number and expiration date. The registration process will be complete only when the initial registration fee has been charged to your card.

NOTE: There have been too many instances of parents claiming they will bring their child to a first class only to simply not show up without calling or any notification whatsoever. This after an instructor has set aside time in his/her schedule for the class. Therefore, class will only begin once every student is fully registered.
