Scholarship Policy
Financial aid is available for full- or half-day summer and vacation week classes for children. Families are generally asked to contribute towards their child's enrollment, usually between 20% and 50% of tuition, depending on their circumstances. (This amount may be waived in cases of extreme need. In the case of financial hardship, we request an additional letter from your child's school.)
When funding is available, scholarships are also available for children's weekend courses.
More than one child per family may apply. Depending on demand, scholarships may be limited to one per year. We review scholarship applications on a monthly basis; scholarship decisions are need-based depending on each month's pool of applicants . Applicants will receive a confirmation letter containing all details.
