Monthly billing statements are emailed, and families may choose to opt in to automatic payments (processed monthly during the school year) through the account portal. Payments may be made by credit card, check, cash, or online through the portal.

Summer Tuition
Summer tuition is due before attending any summer workshops. Auto payments are NOT processed during the summer.

Registration Requirement
All accounts must be paid in full before registering for a new session. Students will not be permitted to attend summer dance camps or subsequent school years until any outstanding balances are resolved.
