For some of the amplifier programs, additional fees apply (uniforms, jerseys, league participation etc.). Please contact us for more information.

Tuition or tuition installments (and, if applicable, the registration fee) must be paid before the indicated dates to maintain enrollment, obtain a guaranteed spot, and to attend classes. Participation in classes is also subject to the timely submission of all required original forms.

If you have received a guaranteed spot but cancel your child's attendance before or during the semester, your payment will be reimbursed on a pro-rata basis with a maximum reimbursement of 75%.

Minimum enrollment for each class is 8 students. Should this number not be reached for your child's grade level, your payment will be fully reimbursed without charge of any fees.

===== REQUIRED FORMS =====

All necessary information for payments by check and all forms are available on the forms page of the main website. For the Fall semester, please submit them on the day of the first class or before by mail. For the Spring semester, no separate forms are required if your child was enrolled in the first semester and all forms are up to date.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you need a form sent by email.

Check payments:

  • Please always verify the check procedure and then bring the paper check or mail it.
  • Please write only one check per family per payment date.
  • Please always write the names of all students who are concerned by the payment on the memo line. (Not on the back of the check, which would be an endorsement of the check.)

The date of receipt of the non-refundable down-payment determines the spot of each student in terms of his/her class and the morning/afternoon preference. It is currently set at $100.

The full down-payment amount is applied toward the total tuition.

===== RETURN CHECKS AND LATE PAYMENT FEES =====

The return of a check (electronic or paper) will result in a $20 returned check fee for each returned check, irrespective of the reason. Written notification on how to resolve the returned check will be sent to the signatory of the check. A hold will be placed on the account affected, until the returned check has been redeemed.

If the returned check has not been redeemed within the regular time frame on the notification, late fees as stated below will be applied from the initial due date on.

Failure to pay the tuition on time will result in the assessment of late payment fees and finance charges. These charges may be assessed each month that the account has an overdue, outstanding balance. The late payment fee is $25 per month for payments that are more than two weeks late. It is the family’s responsibility to ensure that payment arrangements are made in a timely manner in order to avoid these fees.

Important Note: A returned check or late payment may automatically result in a hold on the account affected, which may preclude participation in any or all of the following activities: further check writing privileges, class registration, class attendance, receipt of grades, issuing transcripts, and/or diplomas.

===== AGREEMENT =====

By checking the "Down-Payment" box on the registration form and by pressing the "Register" button, you fully agree with the terms stated above.
