How tuition works

What sets tuition

Tuition is set by the program you choose, juniors, teens, adults or the family class, and by how many classes a week you train. The current figures are on the enrollment page, and the front desk goes through them at your first visit.

Registration

A one-time joining fee covers your student file, a uniform top and your first sash. It is due when you join.

Billing

Tuition is billed monthly. You can pay by card each month or set up autopay on the enrollment page.

Help with tuition

Ask us whether a payment plan or a scholarship is open this month. We answer in writing.

Siblings

A second or third student from one family is handled differently on the enrollment page. Ask the front desk how.

Withdrawing

Your first term is three months, then tuition runs month to month. To stop, tell us in writing and give 30 days' notice. You pay for the month in progress and nothing after the notice ends. Ask us how to pause for travel or an injury.

Missed classes and make-ups

If a student misses a class, they can come to another class for the same age group that week. Pausing for travel, illness or an injury is a conversation, not a form: tell the front desk.

Uniforms, costumes and other costs

Beyond tuition there are the uniform, sash tests, practice staffs for the weapons class and event costumes for lion dance team members. The front desk lists each one and what it is for before you pay.
