Registration Fee

There is a $45 per student non-refundable annual registration fee, which covers administrative costs/student liability insurance for the Sept.-May school year, and reserves your place in class. This fee covers our Music, Dance and Theatre programs - no need to pay separate registration fees! Current students are offered an "early-bird" discounted registration rate for the new upcoming school year, when registered by April 30th.
