Failure to provide payment by the 3rd of the month, will result in a $15 late fee. All Tuition and Fees must be paid with the same re-occurring credit card. Online registration sets up your account for auto draft. Our Tuition chart is on our website for further review.
PAYMENT POLICIES

Credit cards on file that are rejected will be charged a decline fee of 4% or a min of $5.00 each time after the first decline. Any charges not paid by the end of the day of the 3rd of the month will be charged a $15 late fee. Any returned check will result in a $35 service charge. Postdated checks are not accepted. All registration fees, tuition, recital, costume and other payments are non-refundable. Failure to pay monthly tuition in a timely manner will place a child's enrollment at risk.
