Financial aid
Sliding scale financial aid from 10% – 75% off tuition is available to qualified applicants. Applying for financial aid does not affect your eligibility for the program, and qualifying for financial aid does not guarantee that an enrollment space will be available.
Financial aid is intended to provide reduced tuition for families who could not otherwise afford the opportunity, it is NOT intended to provide routine discounts for families who are able to pay the full tuition.
Financial aid applications can be completed anytime during the application period and must be completed by the application deadline of June 15, 2025 for priority consideration for the 25/26 program year. Financial aid will be allocated to eligible families after this deadline if funds remain. The financial aid application is HERE.
Withdrawal and Refund Policy
Tuition is an annual agreement. If a child is withdrawn from the program, tuition for any remaining classes is still due and is not refundable unless we can fill the child’s spot in the program. Tuition policies are not intended to be punitive, they are essential to make sure that program costs are covered.
Refunds or credits for future programs will not be given if we need to close for snow days or other severe weather.
