Tuition

2024-2025 Schedule and Tuition 

All tuition payments are paid monthly and begin on April 1st each year.

If a student is accepted after April 1st, the tuition payment amounts and schedule will be different than the tuition amounts below as they will need to be modified to collect the total amount of annual tuition over less months. If school has already begun, the tuition payments will be prorated based on the number of school days remaining in the school year.
