Submission of annual tuition fees for the remainder of each school year are required at the time of registration.

Class and supply fees for the semester enrolled in are due at the time of registration.

Withdrawals are accepted up to 7 days of the semester start date, with fees returned less registration fee. Withdrawal requests up to 7 days after the semester start date will be accepted with 50% tuition refunded. No cancellations are accepted after 7 days of the semester start date.

Referral Program

*Applicable to Private Instruction Students Only*

We are thankful for the ongoing support and referrals from our current students and believe in building a community of like-minded families.

Current students who refer a new family to the studio will receive a 50% reduction for one month's private lesson tuition fees (30 minute weekly lesson length, standard instructor).

Guidelines:

• Referring families are applicable only if name is entered in the referal section of the new registration form at the time of registration.
• Referring families will be determined by who was entered in the "Referred by" section of a new family's initial registration form.
• Referral credit will be issued one (1) per new family joining the private instruction programs.
• Refer as many times as you would like! There is no limit to the number of referral months each family can receive.
