Decision

The first round of decisions will be mailed out after March 1. Upon acceptance, a place in the classroom will be guaranteed only if the NONREFUNDABLE enrollment fee and contract are remitted within two weeks of acceptance. This fee is applied to the tuition. It is often necessary to place students on a wait list as enrollment for each class is limited.

Tuition

Tuition for the upcoming school year is usually determined in the early spring. Check the school office or here for the latest tuition schedule.
