Refunds will not be given for classes missed due to illness (makeup options are available to all students), cancelations due to weather (a makeup class will be offered once weather clears), or scheduled closure dates. Tuition will not be pro-rated for dropping prior to the end of the month.
Late Fee: Tuition is due no later than the 5th of each month. A $25 late fee will be charged for outstanding balances past this date. Late fees are non-refundable.
