Tuition can be paid in full for the year or paid in 6 equal payments by the 1st of September, October,
November, December, February and March. A late fee of $5 will be charged for payments received more
than a week late. If there are special situations, which may require a late payment, please call ahead and
make arrangements to avoid late fees. If tuition is behind by 2 weeks without prior agreed arrangements,
your child will not be able to attend until tuition is caught up.

require that monthly tuition will need to be paid in cash or money order for the remainder of the year.
Refund Policy

you are responsible to pay for the full class regardless if you withdraw from the class. If after the first
class you have concerns please talk to the tutor. We wish to work with you and be reasonable.***
