Tuition
Tuition is paid one month in advance and is based on a 10-month schedule (September – June). Short months such as December or April require the same tuition, as do longer months. Remember, you are securing a slot in the program for your child, and the program runs all school year long. All registration and financial agreements, plus first and last month tuition, are required before a child can enter into the program. In addition, there is a $25 registration fee which is non-refundable.
All payments will be made after the lottery is complete and students have been identified for enrollment in each program.
