Big dreams start in the smallest places
Tuition
Tuition is based on the average number of days per month that students are in class and the amount of time in the class. This allows for adequate budgeting of school expenses and income throughout the 10-month school year (September-June) and 2-month summer (July- August). No allowance is made for illness, holidays or inclement weather conditions.
Tuition can be made in 10-monthly installments or in one yearly payment. The yearly payment will include a 5% discount for prepaying.
