Tuition, Reservation Deposit, Payment Plans, & Tuition Refund Insurance

A $500 non-refundable reservation deposit applied toward tuition is required upon enrollment. If enrolling after billing begins, tuition owed to date is required. Parents may choose to pay the tuition balance using the following payment plans:

*Tuition Refund Insurance (1.9% of 2025-2026 tuition) is optional and provides an opportunity to insure tuition if a student withdraws after attending 14 consecutive days of school. All families are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this program to ensure some tuition dollars can be recovered if a student has to withdraw unexpectedly. Refer to the TRI brochure for specific coverage details.
