Tuition for our school year program is charged based on the schedule you choose for your child. You may choose a 2-day. 3-day 4-day or 5-day schedule. Once your schedule is chosen and finalized, your tuition is calculated as an annual total for the year, and then divided equally between the 10 months of the school year. An equal (1/10th) payment is collected each month from August through May. All payments are made through Playground, our student information and billing system. For those who wish to pay tuition in full by semester or for the whole year, you are offered a 2% discount on your tuition rate.
Summer Camp is billed and paid weekly to allow for vacations and flexibility in scheduling. There is a daily bulk rate for the main portion of the day, and before and after care is also available during the Summer Months for an extra fee.
