Registration Information

Deposit

A $115 non-refundable deposit, as well as the $35 application fee per child is required with each advanced or regular rate application as a minimum payment, if not yet paying in full. Paying the deposit only gives you the freedom and flexibility to make payments at your convenience until your total balance is paid. (To receive Advanced Rate, you must pay the total balance by February 24, 2012. All other balances must be paid by April 27, 2012.) The deposit is applied toward the full balance. (It is not a separate fee, but reserves your child's spot.) The deposit as a minimum payment is not available on or after April 28, 2012. Tuition rates are listed on our Rates & Dates page.
